The Try Angle Podcast

As a child, I took the quote, "Those who believe they are crazy enough to change the world, usually do" on as a life mission. I built my life upon it, and presently, it is NOT serving your girl well. So tune in and listen up.

There's people pleasing and then there's whatever the heck this is. Trust me, this isn't advice. It's 100% of things you SHOULD NOT be doing, but I'm inviting you to walk alongside me anyway as I attempt to unpack it all.

my battle with trauma, healing, and family stuff + feelings & measuring sticks

when families break apart due to loss & tragedy, the pain can feel unbearable. because not only are you left to grieve the loss of the person, you're left to deal with whatever fallout is left from their departure.

in part two, i’ll explore the impact of the loss, the weight of grief, and how i'm beginning to rebuild.

full transparency: i originally felt more comfortable recording this on my cellphone v. podcast mic because that's what i've been doing for the past year or so, so that explains the differences in volume at some points.

Welcome to The Try Angle Podcast! Or should I say bienvenue—because, listen, I’ve been on Duolingo for 136 days straight, and at this point, you can’t tell me I’m not ready to hold my own in a Parisian café. (Would I struggle? Probably. But I'd try—and that’s exactly what I’m here to talk about.)

In this first episode, I’m introducing myself, this show, and its mission. We’re here to embrace the journey, lean into imperfection, and find peace in the trying.

So go ahead—plug me into the aux (is that still a thing?), pop in your headphones, or blast me on speakerphone. However you listen, JUST. PRESS. PLAY.

Life is the journey. I’ll share mine with you.
