  • Authentic chats from the big sister I needed

    I can always trust Payton to talk about the things that I need help on and share insight into the things I didn’t KNOW I needed. It’s nice to see someone so successful and beautiful be really genuine and down to earth when it comes to her own journey and how we can all grow. Can’t wait to see where she goes in the next stages of her career with her political program and beyond <3

  • Thank you

    Thank you for speaking up, and not shying away from difficult topics (across the board). Your podcast is where I turn for general life advice, a good laugh, and someone to relate to. I love that you speak up about politics, and actually give resources and information to better inform ourselves and take care of ourselves during these difficult times. Thank you for being a light during some very dark times!

  • Love P

    I love NTS! I’ve been listening for almost 3 years. I have some many similarities to P with how we grew up to college experience. As an oldest of 3, I’ve truly learned so much and she’s helped me through so many things. NEVER LEAVE US P!!!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

ASK P: breakups, post-college life, & virginity talk
Q: What final thoughts do you have for someone navigating the virginity conversation and not feeling pressured by timelines?
Encourage focusing on readiness and alignment with your own values, not performing for timelines, and recognizing that health, safety, and consent are paramount; there's plenty of time to explore sexuality at your own pace.
ASK P: breakups, post-college life, & virginity talk
Q: What guidance do you have for someone who still hasn't lost their virginity and wants to approach this on their own terms rather than a societal deadline?
Validate that there is no right or wrong time to have sex, emphasize choosing a partner you trust and feel safe with, encourage exploring personal desires and safety, and remind them that sexual experiences vary and should align with personal comfort rather than cultural pressures.
ASK P: breakups, post-college life, & virginity talk
Q: What timeline and steps should I follow to handle the breakup and the lease decisions in a way that's fair and clear for both of you?
Address the breakup first, then within a few days to a week lay out housing logistics, belongings, and lease details; aim to have a firm plan before October if possible and consider options like one person moving out early or transferring the lease to ease the transition.
ASK P: breakups, post-college life, & virginity talk
Q: How do you go about ending a relationship with someone you were living with, given a lease ends in January and you don't want to forcibly eject them before the holidays?
Have the breakup conversation as soon as possible, separate it from housing logistics, and then discuss housing arrangements—such as who moves out, potential lease transfers, or temporary accommodations—after the emotional part is addressed. Seek a plan that minimizes discomfort while being honest about needs and timelines.
ASK P: some tough-love advice from your stand-in big sister
Q: How should I handle a partner's lack of progress in their career while I have advance goals?
The host suggests assessing compatibility of long-term visions and stresses the importance of a partner's effort and willingness to grow; she recounts her own experience of choosing a partner whose trajectory aligned with hers, while acknowledging that some people may have different paces.
