Send us Fan MailToday, we’re joined by Stevie, Sadie’s former foster mother, to retrace the unlikely beginning of their bond. Stevie reflects on her own struggles with drinking and the choice to get sober, while Sadie shares memories of those years that still carry tenderness and humor.From there, we turn to family and wanting an apology that never comes. We revisit Sadie’s grandmother, who paid a high price for intervening. Sadie also speaks candidly about identity, relationships, and power, including describing her shift toward dating women as a political choice.Thanks for listening.
