Real stories. Honest faith. Conversations that remind you what actually matters.

The Tried & Truth Podcast is the mentorship and encouragement you didn’t even know you needed.

These are honest, hope-filled conversations—no fluff. Just truth, perspective, and encouragement you can carry into your everyday life.

Each episode asks one grounding question:
“What does success look like to you?”
The answers will surprise you, challenge you, and help you redefine success around faith, values, calling, identity, and intentional living—not hustle.

Here, we talk about:

-real-life faith and everyday encouragement

-stories of resilience, purpose, and identity

-motherhood, mental health, relationships, marriage and seasonal transitions

-wisdom and lessons learned rom entrepreneurs and purpose-driven leaders

-work, calling, creativity, and values-based success

Walk away inspired, encouraged, and equipped to simplify your life, strengthen your faith, conquer self-doubt, and pursue what matters most in every season.

Real life. Real faith. Real stories to help you live intentionally and lead a life you won’t regret.

Do you know at what point in your life you stopped adding your spark to life? At what point you started believing that the only way to do it is the way you’ve seen others do it? That the only to win is to win the way that others have won? What if instead you could restore your thinking and shift your perspective on “how” things are done? What if you added your spark back to the world and paved a path that both helped pave a way for others AND helped you welcome “more” into your life? 
If you ever find yourself frustrated, feeling like you're not following THE path, or feeling like you've lost the map, this episode will remind you of the truth in “YOUR” path.

Why are we all addicted to seeking affirmations, validation, and approval from everyone and for everything. Why do we feel like we need to be loved by all, our work liked by all, and that everyone must take notice of all that we do? Why do we let people, jobs, titles, comments, conversations, posts, and pictures define and affirm us?
The truth is we've gotten so much of this wrong and we've given others far too much power over what we do, how we do it, why we do it, what we create, what we share, and what we become. Let this episode serve as your check-up for where you’re looking, why you’re looking, and what really matters.

We’ve all filled our lives with habits and have more autopilot moments than we can often count. You’re definitely not alone in that! Today, we’re stepping back for a second and looking into your habits - both the good and the bad. I’ve got 4 simple and quick questions that are going to help you identify, reset, and rebuild (successfully!) your habits and help us all become “creatures of (BETTER) habits”.  Our lives could all use more intention, less regrets, right?!

We’re all carrying burdens around that DON’T need to be carried (or carried by us for that matter!).  We weigh our lives down unnecessarily and self-impose so many of our own burdens. The truth is, however, that we’re not made to live burdened lives, but rather to live UNBURDENED. Let today be day one to less burden, more living!
In this episode, I’m challenging you to identify, call out, and release the “burdens” in your life so you can live fuller, feel more alive, and free up space in your mind and life to think, do, create, and be.  We’ll talk money, stress, to-do lists, lifestyle, false realities, kids, and other people’s problems.

News flash...NO ONE has it figured it out.  Everyone is winging it - you are, I am, they are!  Yet, as we look around, we find ourselves feeling like we're behind, as if everyone's life appears to be put together, and as if they have it all figured out.   
In this episode, I'm shedding light on how everyone is learning as they go, failing as they go, and growing through it.  I'll share my secret to not being afraid of public speaking and help you become more confident in your daily life. Because the truth is...no one (not even that person you REALLY look up to) has it figured out and guess what?!...There's freedom in that!

We all have stories, life changes, and fears that hold us back in life. We also cycle through seasons of broken-spiritedness, hungry for restoration (without even knowing it!). In this life-giving episode, we sit down with Tami Imlay, professional life coach, former family and marriage therapist, AND certified Enneagram coach (oh yeah, and also a mom of 2 and Air-Force veteran!). She shares truths on what it means to be “broken-spirited”, practical tips on moving past capital “F” FEAR (the #1 barrier to more), self-judgement, the pressure we place on ourselves, navigating our emotions, and so much more!

Whether you’re tired of “settling”, feeling like too many areas of your life are simply "blah", or maybe even not aware that you're doing it ALL the time, let’s package up all of that settling business with a bow and send it on its way. We both know there’s more goodness ready to be unwrapped in your life. You’re not meant to settle for an “ok” life; You’re meant to feel A-LIVE! 
In this episode, I’m sharing how one simple definition has powerfully steered me away from settling and how you, too, can welcome more into your life - from relationships to jobs.  We’ll talk people-pleasing, difficult conversation avoidance, risk aversion, the self- worth crisis, and our cultural addiction to the status-quo (because it's easier!). Have courage because today is the day to stop settling for less in more areas than we can likely count and start welcoming more into your life.
