Start Talking with Sadie and Scott

Send us a MessageThis week, Scott and Sadie take on a topic they quickly realize they do not fully understand… menopause...well, Sadie does.What starts as a casual conversation turns into a deep dive into hot flashes, brain fog, sleep struggles, mood swings, and the many things no one really explains ahead of time.Along the way, they play a game of “Menopause or Made It Up,” investigate real-life scenarios in their version of a “Law and Order: Menopause Unit,” and try to figure out what’s actually happening versus what just feels like chaos.It’s funny, honest, and a little eye-opening, especially when they realize how little most people actually know about it.If you’ve ever wondered what menopause really looks like, or thought “that can’t be normal”… this episode might help.Check out our website: https://start-talking-with-sadie-and-scott.b12sites.com/index

Send us a MessageThis week, Scott and Sadie talk about AI, the helpful parts, the weird parts, and whether any of us are really ready for how normal it has become. Then they take on the slightly offensive realization that a lot of the stuff we grew up with is now old enough to be considered vintage. From Walkmans and Polaroids to shoulder pads and Trapper Keepers, nothing is safe. To close things out, Sadie plays a game where she has to guess whether bizarre Canadian town names are real or completely fake. Spoiler, Canada is a very strange place.Check out our website: https://start-talking-with-sadie-and-scott.b12sites.com/index

Send us a MessageHello Friends!Scott and Sadie are joined this week by Lisa Zawrotny, host of the Positively Living Podcast and founder of Positively Productive Systems, for a conversation that is part productivity coaching, part life reset, and part gentle intervention for Sadie. Scott, of course, is doing just fine. Together, they talk about overwhelm, burnout, routines that actually work in real life, and why trying to do everything perfectly is usually the fastest way to lose your mind. Lisa brings practical, shame-free advice for getting more done without becoming a stressed-out disaster, while Scott does his best to keep things on track and Sadie continues to be a wonderful case study. It’s funny, honest, relatable, and packed with smart ideas for anyone who feels like life has turned into one long to-do list. Lisa’s work is through Positively Productive Systems, and her website is https://positivelyproductive.com/ Check out Lisa's Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/positively-living-shame-free-productivity-conversations/id1514222327Check out our website: https://start-talking-with-sadie-and-scott.b12sites.com/index

Send us a MessageThis week we’re opening the hobby graveyard.From home gym equipment that became furniture to creative phases that lasted exactly one weekend, we’re talking about the expensive optimism behind the hobbies we swore would change our lives.Why does buying the equipment feel like progress?When did researching a hobby become the hobby itself?Plus listener confessions that prove we’re not alone, a painfully relatable news story about the home gym fantasy, and a game that forces us to choose between real hobbies and the gear we never used.If you’ve ever bought something that was supposed to make you a different person, this episode is for you.Check out our website: https://start-talking-with-sadie-and-scott.b12sites.com/index

Send us a MessageIn this episode, Scott and Sadie look back at the things they believed in their 20s with full confidence… and zero accuracy.From “I don’t need sleep” to “I’ll have everything figured out by 30,” they unpack the lies that felt true at the time, and what reality had to say about them later. It’s funny, a little humbling, and very relatable.They get into career expectations that didn’t quite pan out, relationship myths that aged poorly, and the moment you realize nobody actually knows what they’re doing. Plus, listener submissions, a chaotic news story, and a game that exposes just how committed we all were to our own nonsense.This one’s about growth, perspective, and realizing we weren’t wrong… we were just early.Check out our website: https://start-talking-with-sadie-and-scott.b12sites.com/index
