The Tried and Truth Podcast with Annica Fischer

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. Each week, Annica Fischer sits down with entrepreneurs, trusted mentors, experts, and friends to explore the stories that shape us, the faith that carries us, and what success really looks like in the middle of real life.

With over a 15 years of experience in leadership and coaching, Annica brings her own stories, timeless truths, and practical wisdom to help women navigate work, motherhood, 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 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.

Having trouble finding true contentment with where you are? Feeling a bit discouraged lately? Stuck in a season of waiting or stillness?  
I'm here to encourage you today and help you capture more of what the present has to offer. In this conversation, I’m sharing what I’m personally doing to stay grounded right where my feet are and shedding light on a few tips to help you do the same.  I'm also unpacking a few things that might be hindering your ability to find true contentment and experience today's joy. 
“Instead of thinking where I’d rather be, I’m leaning into where I am, capturing all that the present has to offer. Perhaps if I can keep my feet grounded in the here and now, and my eyes open to more of its wonder, I’ll be ready to fully soar when the next opportunity comes. And I bet if you do the same, you will be, too.”

In a world striving for “great” - accomplishing great things, being great at what we do and how we do it, when can “good” be good enough? While we’re all taught that the opposite of good is great and to not give 110% is settling and disappointing, there’s something that happens in the striving. We lose so much of the greatness in who we are and we miss the opportunities of doing good, feeling good, and the open doors to great things.
