195: Payton Sartain on City Hopping, Manifesting Your Dream Man, & Embracing Change

A raya success story?!

Today, we’re joined by Payton Sartain, content creator and podcast host of Note to Self. We chat relationships, city vs. country living, and how to navigate life transitions. Payton talks about her frequent moves—from the Midwest to Fashion Week in NYC to preparing for her next chapter in South Florida. As someone who thrives on new beginnings, she offers advice on navigating life in a new city, making friends as an adult, and finding your community. Payton also gives a peek into her relationship (and Raya success story) with her MLB boyfriend, Joe, and how she manifested him down to a T. The takeaway? Trust yourself, stop overthinking, and don’t be afraid to walk away from what doesn’t serve you. And remember, we’re all just girls trying to figure life out as we go! 

Kristina and Raeann also chat about their trip to LA, their obsession with the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, and how taking a break from drinking may have to wait until winter.

What We Love (and Hate) on Our Plates

In this episode, Raeann talks about her first few days doing 75 Medium (75 Hard Rae edition), focusing on consistency, routine, hitting her hydration goals. Kristina celebrates her 7-year wedding anniversary and shares marriage advice on communication and how to balance life with kids. They also dive into their latest obsessions — Raeann’s dopamine menu of little joys like iced matcha, fresh sheets, and ocean dips, while Kristina raves about her new pilates princess era. 

Today, the girls are talking alllll about food! The focus is to celebrate the joy a good meal can bring and to quiet the toxic diet culture. They share nostalgic childhood dishes, like Kristina’s grandma’s butter pasta and Raeann’s family’s homemade pizza dough. From last meals on earth to their shared love for sauces to food-specific pet peeves, they reveal all their food loves and hates. Plus, they drop their favorite NYC restaurants where you don’t need a reservation two months in advance. Whether it’s cooking scrambled eggs at home or ordering sushi delivery, Kristina and Raeann remind us that food should be fun and free from shame! Bon appétit, ladies!
