The Tried and Truth Podcast: Rethinking Success and Cultivating a Well-Led Life
Real Stories. Honest Conversations. Perspective for Everyday Life.
Most of the world offers "hacks" for a better life. But the truth is, a life of meaning isn't built on shortcuts—it’s built on the steady, intentional choices we make in the middle of our real, often messy, everyday lives.
The Tried & Truth Podcast is a weekly space for those ready to move beyond the fluff. With over 15 years of leadership and coaching experience, host Annica Fischer shares the conversations we actually need to have about what it takes to grow, lead, and live with clarity. Annica sits down with entrepreneurs, authors, thought leaders and experts to dive into the stories that shape us and the faith that carries us through the "unfiltered" side of success.
We get into the friction of parenting, the discipline of marriage, and the grit required to build a brand or a life of purpose. From mental patterns like anxiety and avoidance, to practical topics like habits, health, decluttering, and decision-making, each episode is designed to help you navigate real topics and live your life with greater intention and clarity.
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.
It is hope-filled, grounded, and practical—designed for the woman who values substance over status. If you’re looking for a weekly refresh that trades quick fixes for timeless wisdom, you’re in the right place.
No fluff. Just the perspective and courage you need to navigate every season with intention.

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.
