Trying Matters
If you're a woman looking for a no BS style of podcast about the raw realities and fears we all face in life, you've found it! Here on Trying Matters, you and I are besties chillin' on the couch after work having a glass of wine, talking about the things that keep us up at night and hold us back from living our best lives! We're here because we believe life doesn’t have to be mundane and linear! We believe in changing our minds, being multi-passionate, learning about topics we are curious about, and incorporating more of what excites us into our daily lives! We're learning to be brave enough to break the mold and to actually start trying!
