Actually Trying

Self improvement meets comedy, by accident. Rose Honey Morgan is a chronically sleep deprived mother of two small children, with a catastrophic history of sticking to anything. So naturally she's spending the year testing self-improvement trends and wellness theories (with questionable methods and an anthropology degree) to work out what actually works, so you don't have to. The experiment episodes follow Rose as she tests the trend, consults human history to work out whether we've completely lost the plot, and reports back on what actually happened. The Guru and Granny episodes bring in Old Ma, Rose's mother, a boomer with strong opinions, no filter, and advice that is either accidentally profound or completely unhinged. Sometimes within the same sentence. Actually Trying is a podcast for frazzled women who want to sort their lives out - but don't want to waste time on it unless it really works. Funny. Honest. Occasionally mortifying. Always actually tryi
