making mental health make sense

featured episodes

Gen Z talks about mental health more than any generation, but most of what we find online is incomplete, unproven, or impractical. She Persisted bridges that gap.

Hosted by Sadie Sutton—a 22-year-old who’s lived the struggle & studied the science—the podcast turns proven psychology into clear, relatable steps.

Every episode helps you understand yourself, navigate struggles, and take action today.
