The Daily Struggles Podcast
Connor and Kenzie
Life is messy, unpredictable, and full of daily struggles—and that's exactly what we're here to talk about. Originally launched by two graduate students navigating the challenges of earning their master's degrees, The Daily Struggled Podcast began as a space for honest conversations about academics, personal growth, mental health, relationships, and everything in between. After taking a hiatus to focus on busy schedules and completing their graduate programs, co-hosts Mackenzie Berlinguet and Connor McCarthy are back and better than ever. Now rebranded and refreshed, The Daily Struggled Podcast explores the everyday challenges people face through thoughtful discussions, personal experiences, professional insights, and a healthy dose of humor. Whether we're unpacking mental health trends, discussing communication in today's world, sharing life lessons, or simply figuring things out as we go, our goal is to create a space where listeners feel understood, informed, and connected. Join us each week as we embrace the struggles, celebrate the wins, and navigate life together—one conversation at a time.

Of course, they also share plenty of current life struggles, funny moments, and everything in between. Thanks for listening, and we hope you enjoy!
