Start Somewhere

by Samantha & Sydney Sebastian

Start Somewhere is a podcast by sisters Samantha and Sydney who believe life doesn’t have to be perfect before you begin. Each week they dive into the real moments of adulthood like starting over, chasing dreams, building relationships, and finding purpose through honest conversations, laughter, and sisterly banter. It’s about courage, connection, and curiosity, and a reminder that you don’t need the whole plan. You just need to start somewhere. Theme music by Snorkeler -- “It’s So Hopeless.” We’re so grateful to feature their music on this podcast.
