The Fortitude Podcast

Hello, and welcome to The Fortitude Podcast. We're your hosts, Micah and Sarah. You may know us from TikTok or Instagram (@micahandsarahhh) but we are coming to the podcast space to talk about life experiences that have tested and strengthened us and built our fortitude – the strength of mind that enables a person to encounter danger or bear pain or adversity with courage. Every Tuesday we have conversations with each other, our friends, and we answer your questions about relationships, faith, mentality, trauma, healing - ultimately all the things in life that make up the human experience! When you're in a tough season, it is so important to know that you're not alone and you are capable of making it to the other side. Join us each week as we share personal stories that will help you to feel encouraged, learn to stay hopeful, and most importantly, fill you with a little more fortitude.
