MY FAVOURITE PODCASTS
Personal Development Themed
The Best Life Podcast - This is a fun chatty podcast about the personal development journeys of it's two hosts Jill and Danny. Sometimes the show is solo, but often it is the two hosts discussing a topic that has either recently come up for them or is super relevant to the times. They are both very inspiring online businesswomen and it is a joy to hear them rant about their struggles and share eye-opening insights about life and business. The episodes aren't too long usually either so it's easy to pop an episode on during a walk.
The Life Coach School Podcast- This is the meat and potatoes of personal development and learning to coach yourself. Brooke, the founder of the life coach school talks in depth about her coaching methods, life experiences and general advice. The episodes are usually about 30 minutes long and I love putting this podcast on when I’m cooking and cleaning because her presentation rhythm just makes it so easy to absorb the information while multitasking.
Unlocking Us- No surprise that as a huge Brené Brown fan, I also listen to her podcast. She often has a guest on to discuss topics or their own research/contributions. I just love how she interviews people and the insight that she brings to these discussions about life and mostly the struggles we all go through.
The Perfectionism Project Podcast- This is the podcast that introduced me to perfectionism and blew my mind. Sam talks all things personal growth and perfectionism and shares so much wisdom by talking through her own struggles and revelations. Recent episodes are more business focussed, but many of the earlier episodes are really enjoyable listens for anyone wanting to dig deeper into personal development work & perfectionism.
Manifestation Babe Podcast- I listen to this podcast when I'm looking for a different perspective on things. I find that Kathrin is really motivational to listen to and she has introduced me to so many concepts around manifestation that I never even considered. I find her drive incredibly inspiring and her determination to follow her dreams is so uplifting.
Non-personal Development Themed
Stuff you Should Know Podcast- This podcast is so informative and quite entertaining at the same time. The hosts teach about topics that we typically don't hear about- from very serious world events to bizarre and silly concepts. It's a great podcast to listen to on road trips and I that is often when I binge listen.
Harry Potter and the Sacred Text- A podcast themed around the Harry Potter books, so if you are not a fan then this podcast is not for you! I was skeptical at first because I'm not religious and the "sacred" bit made me hesitate. But really it's not about religion at all and only uses practices from different religions to make meaning of passages and events from the Harry Potter books. It's a great discussion about Harry Potter, current events and making meaning in life. I went back a few years and started at episode 1 and quickly got caught up.
GoodLife Project Podcast- This was one of the first podcasts that I started listening to. It was also my first introduction to personal development work- though I don't necessarily consider it a personal development podcast. Similar to Unlocking Us, the host interviews people who are making a positive contribution to the world. I find it more educational and a great place to expand my mind and learn more about what's out there. I don't necessarily take action towards my own growth from it, but enjoy learning about the endeavours of others and their journeys.
Recent finds that I'm enjoying
Heroine Podcast- I've only listened to a few episodes but so far have enjoyed it. It's created by the author of Break the Good Girl Myth, Majo Molfino- a book I read recently and immensely enjoyed.
Fit Biz U Podcast- This is created by one of the hosts of The Best Life Podcast and her wisdom is amazing. I've listened to a few episodes so far and they have been super informative. Another one I'm starting to listen to when I'm out walking.
The BossBabe Podcast- Again, I've only listened to a few episodes but I have enjoyed it. A great resource for anyone building a personal brand and so far they've shared many tips and habits that I've found helpful.
