Lately, I’ve been totally into podcasts! Like how 45 minutes is the new hour and Beyonce is the new God. If you don’t know what Podcasts are, it’s like a talk show on the go, but instead of the nonsense we usually get on most talk shows, Podcasts are usually filled with educational content… At least the ones I listen to.
But why are we talking about podcasts at all? Because for the modern woman who has very limited time to fit everything in but still wants to grow, Podcasts are the way to go. Why? Because unlike watching a video or reading an article online, podcasts can be listened to anywhere at any time.
Driving? Put your AUX cord in, and listen to your favorite podcast. Chores? Put your headphones on and learn something new.
Working out? Yup, Podcasts will make the time at the gym go by fast. We are all about finding ways to maximize your time while making sure growth in your life takes a front seat, which is why I suggest you jump on the podcast bandwagon and we will list a few of our favorites to get you started.
The School of Greatness with Lewis Howes
I want you to want to truly feel inspired to take your life to the next level, this is the podcast for you. Lewis Howes interviews some of the most influential people in the world. Anyone from Tony Robbins to Arianna Huffington, he really knows how to help you close the gap in your life.
There’s not enough I can say about this man. He is one of the reasons I do what I do seriously so you can imagine my excitement when I heard he came out with his own podcast. This man has inspired some of the most profound thought leaders of our time… Including Lewis Howes, who I mentioned above.
Have you read the book #GIRLBOSS? Or, have you heard of the online company called Nasty Gal? Yup, the woman behind it all is Sophia Amoruso and she is not full of informative information not to mention, funny as hell! She interviews some bad ass women who’ve accomplished some bad ass things!
If you’ve been following me for a while you’d know how obsessed I am with Danielle Laporte. Well, she has a podcast with fellow writer Lynda Silverstein where they interview some of the most famous authors of our time and get deep into their writing process. I can’t tell you how much I used this podcast when I was in the middle of writing my own book (PS: Which will be out mid-September).
The Skinny Confidential Him & Her
The founder of the highly successful blog, The Skinny Confidential, Lauryn Evarts has a podcast with her man Michael Bosstick. They get real about starting your business, how to brand authentically, how to even turn a blog into a book. Not only do they cover business related topics, they even cover my favorite topic which is relationships! I love their dynamic and realness. I was so honored to be featured on the blog a year ago, where I discussed “Healthy Relationships,” so if you haven’t read that interview I suggest you do that… Nowish!
Those are just some of my favorite podcasts but I just wanted to start you off on the right foot. If you want more I will tell you my other favs on snapchat! Just comment below! Oh!… Do you even follow me on snap?
