The Tried and Truth Podcast: Intentional Living, Growth & Mindset for a Well-Led Life
Real Stories. Honest Faith. Perspective for Everyday Life.
The Tried & Truth Podcast is a weekly space for women who want more than quick fixes or self-help hacks. Host Annica Fischer sits down with everyday women, entrepreneurs building brands with purpose, creatives, and leaders for thoughtful, grounded conversations—stories of success and setbacks, practical tools you can use right away, and timeless truths to help you grow and live with clarity and intention.
You’ll hear conversations about the stories that shape us, the faith that carries us, and what success really looks like in the middle of real life—identity, purpose, parenting, work, faith, and the messy in-between we’re all navigating.
With over 15 years of experience in leadership and coaching, Annica brings her own stories, perspective, and practical wisdom to topics like family, parenting, marriage, business, mindset, and intentional living. 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 conventional definitions of success, and invite you to redefine growth and fulfillment in every area of life.
Here, we talk about:
- Real-life faith and everyday encouragement
- Stories of resilience, purpose, and identity
- Motherhood, mental health, relationships, and seasonal transitions
- Leadership lessons from entrepreneurs and purpose-driven leaders
- Work, calling, creativity, and values-based success
Consider this your weekly refresh for real life: honest stories, grounded perspective, and practical wisdom to navigate each season with clarity, courage, and intention—helping you pursue what matters most.

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.
