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 trying.

  • Have We All Got Undiagnosed ADHD? Let's Ask Old Ma

    Have We All Got Undiagnosed ADHD? Let's Ask Old Ma
    2026/07/23

    Welcome to Actually Trying. Same podcast, new name, new format.

    This week: have a lot of women got undiagnosed ADHD, or are we all just weird? I'm seeing a psychiatrist in two days. Old Ma thinks we should go back to the five original lunacies. She held that position for about ten minutes, until she found out there might be some legal speed in it for her.


    We cover:

    • Why ADHD in girls gets missed entirely
    • Object permanence and forgetting your friends exist
    • Whether it's real or just Big Pharma cataloguing sweaty palms
    • Getting diagnosed as an adult: private assessment, five-year NHS waits, and what £200 online actually buys you


    Ask Guru & Granny: a secondary school teacher of 22 years wants to jack it in and become a florist. Is 48 too old to start again? We get into midlife career changes, side hustles, and why women over 50 are the fastest-growing group of entrepreneurs globally.

    Next time: I report back on whether I actually got diagnosed.

  • Can Walking Fix Our Entire Lives and Personalities?

    Can Walking Fix Our Entire Lives and Personalities?
    2026/05/11

    This week I’m testing whether walking really is the closest thing we have to a magic pill - and whether I can get my steps up without becoming the sort of person pacing the kitchen at 10pm to hit 10,000.


    I’m trying:

    • Japanese interval walking

    • hot girl walks

    • walking/moving after meals

    • using SteppIn app to earn screen time through steps

    • taking antihistamines so pollen can stop ruining my life


    Also: why 10,000 steps may be a marketing myth, why walking helps mood, and whether we’ve lost the plot with step counts.
