In this episode, we sit down with Katie Berg, who shares her deeply personal journey of seeking asylum in Canada and building a new life from scratch. From the moment she arrived to the challenges of starting over in an unfamiliar place, Katie opens up about the fears, hopes, and resilience that carried her through.

We talk about what it’s really like to leave everything behind, how she navigated the immigration process, and how she’s created a sense of home and belonging here. Her story is moving, inspiring, and a powerful reminder of what people are capable of when faced with enormous change.

Scott and Sadie surprise themselves (and probably you) by having an actual grown-up conversation about mental health and how it affects our kids. It’s honest, thoughtful, and one of our most meaningful discussions yet.

Of course, we don’t stay serious for long—because what’s an episode without some wild news stories, a few ridiculous fun facts you’ll definitely share at your next party, and… a brand-new marketing idea involving flamingos. Yes, really.

Join us for laughs, insights, and maybe even a moment or two that makes you think.

Adulting is hard. Like, cancel-your-gym-membership-and-assemble-IKEA-furniture-while-on-hold-with-your-insurance-company hard.

In this episode, Sadie and Scott dive into the ridiculous, rage-inducing, and unnecessarily complicated parts of grown-up life that make you want to live in a yurt and eat Pop-Tarts in peace. From applying for a passport with a child to decoding tax paperwork written in what we assume is ancient Sumerian, it’s a full-blown adulting meltdown.

Plus:

• Listener-submitted adulting fails that prove we’re all just winging it.
• A game of “That’s a Thing?” featuring real trends so strange they sound fake.
• Plus this week’s weird news.

If you’ve ever screamed “I JUST WANT A NAP” at 2 p.m. on a Tuesday… this one’s for you.

This week we’re diving into the song lyrics we’ve been confidently butchering for years. From power ballads to pop hits, we unpack the lines we misunderstood, misheard, or just flat-out invented—and ruin a few classics in the process.

Along the way, Scott explores the fascinating world of human gaits (yes, your walk says more than you think), Sadie takes a quiz on Canadian inventions (spoiler: she’s surprised by more than one), and we ask the big question—what’s a red flag or a green flag when it comes to making friends as an adult?

We were today years old when we found out how many things we knew nothing about our whole lives. In this episode, we dive into the funniest “I was today years old when…” moments—from realizing that pickles are just cucumbers (we already knew that!) to finding out something cool about Octopuses (Octopi?)

But wait—there’s more! We’re not playing one game show… we’re playing TWO. Get ready for another round of Would You Rather (Grown-Up Edition) and Am I Lying? where we test Sadie's ability to sniff out if Scott is lying or not.

And of course, Scott brings his usual chaos with Wacky News Stories You Definitely Missed, including a lottery winner, a snake, and one that sucked. You don’t want to miss it.

In this episode of Start Talking with Sadie & Scott, the power goes straight to our heads — and we love it.

If we ran the world, there would be daily naps, bans on pajama pants in grocery stores, and instant punishment for double parking. We’re rewriting society one petty decree at a time.

We also tackle the weirdest news of the week, including:

• A missing Paralympian who vanished at WrestleMania

• A woman who found a stick that was actually alive

• And robots that run marathons

Plus, we read YOUR ridiculous rules for society — because let’s be honest, we’ve all got a few.

Grab your crown, sip your free universal coffee, and hit play. This is the episode that starts the revolution.

This week, we’re joined by the powerful and perceptive Michelle Ella Powell, who takes us on a journey through her early life in a strict religious environment, her experience inside a so-called spiritual community that blurred the line into cult territory, and her ultimate path to self-discovery and personal truth.

Michelle shares how she rebuilt her beliefs from the ground up, the role intuition now plays in her life, and why breaking free—mentally and spiritually—isn’t a one-time event, but a daily act of courage.

Also, there may have been a quiet moment of unexpected clarity for one of us during the conversation. We’ll let you guess who.

This episode is honest, emotional, and filled with the kind of perspective that sticks with you.

In this episode of Start Talking with Sadie and Scott, we dig into the greatest hits from our childhood — specifically, the outrageous lies our parents told us and somehow got away with.

From “don’t sit too close to the TV or you’ll go blind” to “cracking your knuckles gives you arthritis” to the classic “we’re just looking” on a trip to Toys R Us, we’re calling out all the generational gaslighting — with love, of course.

Plus, we serve up another batch of the week’s weirdest news stories, because while our parents may have lied, the internet somehow keeps telling the truth… and it’s getting weirder by the day.

So grab a juice box, question everything you were told, and let’s Start Talking.
