SIX BINGE WORTHY PODCASTS.

By definition, a Podcast, is a digital audio file made available on the Internet for downloading to a computer or mobile device, typically available as a series, new installments of which can be received by subscribers automatically. Most importantly they are free! and who doesn’t love something that’s free?? Me personally, I love Podcasts and I am not ashamed to admit it, (#podcastjunkie) so much so that when I am in the car alone, I will listen to them instead of music. The reason I like to listen to Podcasts are because I feel like each individual episode and series is its own wealth of knowledge created to stimulate my mind and keep me motivated.

Now, you may be thinking why are podcasts so popular? and why would I want to listen to one instead of my favorite artists on the radio?

Reasons to Listen to Podcasts

To Get Inspired

What inspires you? What is something that you are passionate about? Chances are that you can find that inspiration inside of a podcast. There are plenty of activists that are featured and interviewed daily.

To Optimize your time

Listening to podcasts while you are walking, driving, working out, or cleaning are great uses of using your time effectively.

To Learn new Information

Let’s be honest, sometimes the news is disheartening and sometimes one sided. Podcasts often go more in-depth and you are able to hear both sides of the conversation instead of just one. Not only that, you can listen and learn about new advances in medicine, technology, business, and just information that we should know.

To Improve your Wellbeing

There are plenty of self-help podcast that can pick you up and give a little bit of clarity in your life. Sometimes, listening to what others have overcome can bring assurance.

To Gain Motivation

By listening to motivational podcasts, you can gain discipline and find the steps you were missing to achieve that goal that you always wanted to achieve but were never really “motivated” or did not know where to start at.

Now, let’s get into some of my current favorites –

Girlboss Radio with Sophia Amoruso | One of my favorite shows on Netflix is Girlboss, which tells the story of how Sophia started her company called Nasty Gal. Sadly the series just had one season and after it was over with I was curious about the actual company and was wanting to know more about Sophia and what she was actually up to which led to my discovery of Girlboss the podcast. This podcast series is great for if you want to know what all it takes to build not just a career but a successful one, all while doing it on your own terms and living your best life.

Woman Evolve with Sarah Jakes Roberts | I Love Woman Evolve, and I listen to every message that SJR comes out with. What I like about is that she always keeps it real with you and through her keeping it real I am able to connect with her. After each episode I am left feeling like I am evolving into my best self.

Becoming Wise | I have no idea how I found the Becoming Wise podcast but when I found it, I was beyond elated. The first thing that reeled me in was the name, Becoming Wise. When I saw the name, I was like what exactly am I “becoming wise” about? After doing a little research, I discovered that Krista Tippett the host of the series is also the host of a radio station called On Being, and On Being Krista talks about pursuing deep thing thinking, social courage, moral imagination and joy, to renew inner life, outer life, and life together.

Oprah’s SuperSoul Conversations | I mean who doesn’t love Oprah? SuperSoul was the very first podcast series that I had listened to and after about two years it is still in my top favorites. Each episode leaves me feeling closer and closer to the world around me.

The Goal Digger Podcast | I follow Jenna Kutcher the host of the podcast on Instagram and what led me to start listening to her episodes was the fact that she is always so real. Each episode is there to empower you and Jenna is all about sharing strategies, business hacks, and tips to help you get closer to your dream career.

Myleik Teele’s Podcast | I found out about Myleik Teele’s Podcast through her Instagram. At first, I did not know she had one since she had taken a break from doing episodes when I first followed her but she started back doing episodes in February I believe and since then I have been listing to each episode that she comes out with. Myleik is real and honest which I like because she does not want you to make pointless mistakes in life or your career. She is firm and inspirational while at the same time bringing you a wealth of knowledge to absorb.
