Start Talking with Sadie and Scott

Positively Living with Lisa Zawrotny

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

The Ghosts of Hobbies Past

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

We Were Confident… and Completely Wrong

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

Carpet in the Bathroom? Yes please!

From grandpa jeans to rom-com logic that would never fly today, we unpack the stuff we proudly wore and proudly watched with equal parts embarrassment and laughter. With listener stories, whacky news, and a game that’ll make you question all your early life decisions, this one’s a riot.Check out our website: https://start-talking-with-sadie-and-scott.b12sites.com/index

New Year, Same People

Send us a MessageSeason two of Start Talking with Sadie and Scott starts the only honest way possible, by talking about New Year’s resolutions and how quickly they fall apart.Scott and Sadie read real resolutions sent in by listeners on Facebook, react to gym memberships that haven’t been used yet, emotional support water bottles, and the kind of optimism that only exists in early January. Sadie also shares her goals for 2026, including at least one that everyone agrees will absolutely not happen.We also talk about the Olympics and what sports there used to be and which ones Sadie would like to see in them now!If you’ve already broken your resolution, congratulations, you’re ahead of schedule.Check out our website: https://start-talking-with-sadie-and-scott.b12sites.com/index
