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.

Most of us have built "comfort" zones in many areas of our lives, many of these without even realizing it! We fill these places with ease, minimal stress, semi-guaranteed performance levels, and strong “safety nets”. But, there are some ugly truths living in these comfort zones.
In today's episode, I'll share what trees, popcorn and pickles, and bubbles have in common and why it's time to move out our comfort zones (and stop creating them for others!)

No one wants to invest in the things that don't actually generate a return. YET, we see this done every single day!
Are you a wise investor? Do you make your investments count? It's one thing to invest a dollar to make a dollar PLUS (*and it can't be all about the $), but it's another thing to invest your life in meaningful work and in the things that are guaranteed to not return void.

How do you write and live out your own success story? One that will matter decades later? One that is true to who you really are and not tainted by who you are told to be?
True success is about stepping into the fullest version of who you've been created to be and do what you've been put on this earth to do. It's about living an authentic life true to who YOU are. It's time to come alive as you step foot into your own "success" story.
