She started She Persisted (formerly Nevertheless, She Persisted) in 2019 and has accumulated over 70 episodes reaching over 10,000 monthly listeners. Sadie conducts impactful and inspirational interviews with subject matter experts, fellow teenagers, and social media personalities to break down the stigma surrounding mental health and inspire teens to create their life worth living.
