    The Return of the Party Girl

    #257. Why is the party girl suddenly everywhere again? This week I trace the shift from clean girl and tradwife aesthetics to a messier, freer moment — the culture, the politics, the history of partying through hard times — plus the party girl commandments and my hoe theory.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 FOLLOW PAYTON: https://instagram.com/paytonross   https://www.tiktok.com/@paytonsartain  https://youtube.com/c/paytonsartainross SUBMIT TO NOTE TO SELF: → Ask P: Advice Column: https://forms.gle/avvSu4ibYygZP5rq8 See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    The Non-Linear Career: How to Build Credibility, Wealth, and a Life You Love, with Kira Mackenzie Jackson

    #256. I'm sitting down with brand strategist, angel investor, and Material Interest writer Kira Mackenzie Jackson to talk about building credibility and wealth when your career doesn't follow a straight line. We get into following a "random" interest until it becomes real expertise, the entry-level truth about angel investing, and Kira's rule for balancing consistency with the innovation that keeps you feeling alive — plus honest talk on motherhood and building an ambitious career that still leaves room for a life.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            FOLLOW PAYTON: https://instagram.com/paytonross   https://www.tiktok.com/@paytonsartain  https://youtube.com/c/paytonsartainross SUBMIT TO NOTE TO SELF: → Ask P: Advice Column: https://forms.gle/avvSu4ibYygZP5rq8 Sponsors: ResortPass: Visit resortpass.com/notetoself to get $20 off your first booking of $100 or more Opill: Preventing pregnancy is as easy as Opill Tumble: Machine Washable Rugs, Made Better.

    Am I Becoming My Mother?: on genetics, inheritance, and what you choose (with Genetics with Natalie)

    #255. Am I slowly turning into my mother? I sat down with genetic counselor Natalie Samson to figure out how much of who we are is actually written in our DNA — and how much we get to choose. We get into inheritance, the traits that surprise you, and why your genes are a starting point, not a life sentence.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   FOLLOW PAYTON: https://instagram.com/paytonross   https://www.tiktok.com/@paytonsartain  https://youtube.com/c/paytonsartainross SUBMIT TO NOTE TO SELF: → Ask P: Advice Column: https://forms.gle/avvSu4ibYygZP5rq8 Sponsors: Quince: Go to Quince.com/payton for free shipping on your order and 365-day returns ResortPass: Visit resortpass.com/notetoself to get $20 off your first booking of $100 or more IM8 Health: Go to IM8HEALTH.com/notetoself RIGHT NOW or click on the link in the description and use code note to self for a Free Welcome Kit, five free travel sachets, plus ten percent off your order.

    ASK P: The Tough Love You Actually Need

    #254. This week's ASK P tackles the questions you've been scared to ask out loud — navigating friendship breakups and having no close friends in your 20s, spending your birthday alone, advocating for your needs in the bedroom, walking away from a situationship, and moving to a big city on your own. It's a little tough love, a lot of validation, and a reminder that you're allowed to want more.

    Finding Out What My Best Friend Actually Does All Day (She’s a Celebrity Stylist), with Kristen Ritchie

    #253. My best friend, Kristen Ritchie, has one of those jobs everyone's curious about and nobody really understands: she's a celebrity stylist— and she's annoyingly private about all of it. So I made her explain herself. We get into what a day on set actually looks like, how she built a career by leaning on her friends and saying no to almost everything, and why she'd rather let the work speak than post about it. Plus a proper summer style Q&A: the staples, the sneakers, and how to actually survive business casual.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   FOLLOW PAYTON: https://instagram.com/paytonross   https://www.tiktok.com/@paytonsartain  https://youtube.com/c/paytonsartainross SUBMIT TO NOTE TO SELF: → Ask P: Advice Column: https://forms.gle/avvSu4ibYygZP5rq8 Sponsors: Square: Right now, listeners can get up to $200 off Square hardware when you sign up at square.com/go/notetoself Quince: Go to Quince.com/payton for free shipping on your order and 365-day returns See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
