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.

The dangerous place you don’t want to be
Her own story of pursuing the things she enjoyed in small ways and how it doesn’t always look like you think it should
Rethinking what it means to “slow down”
One of my favorite definitions of success yet!

If you’ve found yourself making excuses for why you can’t, feeling behind, or simply feel stuck in the “don’t have enough/need more” mentality, this short 10 minute episode is for you.  It will challenge you to shift from your reasons why you can’t to embracing what you have, where you are, and pursuing “just enough” to take that next step. 
In this episode, we’re unpacking how much “more” you do in fact need to chase the big dreams, take the big leap, and still stay grounded in what matters most AND we're unpacking these questions: 
What do you feel you lack or need to have/be/do the things you need and want to do? 
What would it look like to fully believe today that you have, know, and are all that you need for today?  
What would it look like to have “just enough”? To pursue “just enough”?

Today, we’re sitting down with Monica Swanson, author of Boy Mom: What Your Son Needs Most from You. In this episode, we’re chatting about how to raise kids of character, the truth about raising boys, embracing family culture, sibling rivalry (and turning this into life-long lessons and friendships), and when/how-to approach pursuing your own passions and desires.
"Keep your eyes on the prize of raising these great kids who are going to be world changers one day.” 
Monica Swanson lives on the North Shore of Oahu (Hawaii) with her husband Dave and her four sons (two who now attend college in California.) Monica is the author of Boy Mom: What Your Son Needs Most from You, and she is the host of the Boy Mom Podcast. Her passion is family, faith, and healthy living, and when she isn't feeding her troops or cheering on her boys at surf contests, she loves to crank the A/C, sip coffee and imagine a fall day in the Pacific Northwest (where she grew up.)
