Creating a Dopamine Menu, Navigate Change Effectively, and Self-Care Strategies with Payton Sartain

Feeling drained from endless doom scrolling? Do you want to create more joy in your life? In this episode, we sit down with Payton Sartain, host of the popular Note to Self podcast, to explore the art of building a “dopamine menu”—a curated list of activities designed to spark joy and make even the toughest tasks more enjoyable. From quick pick-me-ups like blasting loud country music to immersive experiences like ceramics, Payton shares how this intentional approach to self-care has helped her navigate life’s challenges. We also delve into her journey from launching a lifestyle blog to starting her podcast, embracing change, and managing anxiety. Plus, get a glimpse into her life as part of the WAGS (wives and girlfriends of professional athletes) community as she moves around the country with her MLB player boyfriend. Tune in for insights on living intentionally, embracing change, and creating joy every day.
