Try Hard is a love letter to everyone who dares to show up fully in a world that tells you to tone it down. It’s about reclaiming the joy, courage, and vulnerability of putting your whole heart into what you do — because your dreams are worth every ounce of effort. Through personal stories and interviews, we’ll explore the messy, beautiful journey of chasing dreams, taking risks, and embracing the bravery of being seen trying. This is for anyone who’s ever been told they’re trying too hard and realized that’s exactly the point.

    How To Find Your “Exhale Friends” With Blake Blankenbecler

    Friendships aren’t just “nice to have”—they’re the shock absorbers of our lives. But no one really teaches us how to make, keep, or even end them. Joining me today is friendship educator Blake Blankenbecler to unpack the realities of adult friendships: how to build them from scratch, how to go deeper, and how to navigate the heartbreak of a friend breakup. Whether you’re moving to a new city, trying to nurture old bonds, or figuring out when to let go, this episode will help you feel less alone—and give you a language for friendships at every stage. Blake is a licensed therapist and friendship educator. She has a private practice, Fig Holistic Psychotherapy in Charlotte and believes that life is meant to be lived in connection and helps friends have more meaningful conversations and create more sustainable friendships. Blake created The Friendship Deck, a conversation game for friends who are craving more depth and intimacy with each other that can be purchased at www.thefriendshipdeck.com.

    Friendship Is Work — And That’s Okay

    No one really teaches us how to make friends as adults — let alone how to maintain them. We’re told romantic relationships take effort, but what about friendship? Whether you’ve just moved to a new city, are craving deeper connections, or feel awkward (and maybe even a little ashamed) about saying “I want new friends” out loud — this one’s for you. In this episode, we’re talking about: The ego we have to let go of to build real friendshipsHow I approached making friends after moving to a new cityWhy it’s totally normal (and necessary) to “court” friends, not just romantic partnersThe reminder that you’re worthy of the friendships you crave — even if it takes effortThe one quick connector I use to deepen both new and longtime friendshipsKeep in touch with Madi and Try Hard: Follow on IG: @madibeumee @tryhardpodFollow on TikTok: @madibeumee @tryhardpodSubscribe to the Substack by visiting https://madibeumee.substack.com/

    The Meet-Cute That Ruined My Dating Life

    Do people actually meet their partner “in the wild” these days?

In this episode, we’re talking about: The dopamine hit (and eventual crash) that comes with dating appsThe Parisian meet-cute that may have permanently skewed my dating expectationsTangible ways to meet people more organically — even if it feels awkward at firstThe surprisingly simple secret to getting approached more often “in the wild” Keep in touch with Madi and Try Hard: Follow on IG: @madibeumee @tryhardpodFollow on TikTok: @madibeumee @tryhardpodSubscribe to the Substack by visiting https://madibeumee.substack.com/
