about sadie

Sadie Sutton is the creator and host of She Persisted, an NYT-recommended, top-charting mental health podcast with 500K+ downloads.

She started the show at 15 while in intensive treatment for severe depression and anxiety, after spending a year and a half in programs including McLean Hospital’s 3East DBT program. That experience became the foundation of She Persisted: a place to talk honestly about what it feels like to struggle, what recovery actually looks like, and which tools genuinely help.

Now 23 and a University of Pennsylvania psychology graduate, Sadie brings together lived experience, psychological research, and conversations with leading experts to make mental health feel more understandable, practical, and hopeful.
