Podcasts I Enjoy

Whenever I’m driving or on a walk, I love listening to podcasts. I’m always curious about other people’s recommendations so today I thought I’d share a few podcasts I personally enjoy listening to in case you’re looking for some yourself!

I’ve broken it down into three categories: motivational, educational & chitty chatty. 🤪

MOTIVATIONAL

PREPPY PODCAST: I love Patricia, + love that she’s kinda local to me! Although her personal + home decor style is the complete opposite of mine, I love how daring + colorful it is. So even though I’d never add that much color to my own life, I do like *kind of* living vicariously through her. Anyway, on her podcast she interviews various brand founders in the “preppy” space. I always love how different brands have started so listening to her episodes is motivating, entertaining & inspiring.

SKINNY CONFIDENTIAL: Lauryn Bosstick is another creator who interviews various brand founders, but less “preppy” ones. She + her husband also interview different bloggers who have either been in the “influencer” space for years or are more new, various authors, CEOs, tv stars, and other influential people. It’s always interesting to hear their stories. Many of them are also in the health & wellness space so it’s always interesting to hear their tips, how they lead their life, their wellness routines, etc.

SWEAT THRIVE GLOW: Katie is another gal that’s kind of local to me. I originally fell in love with her motivating content on instagram, + then fell in love with her podcast. I just wish she did more frequent episodes because they are always so inspiring, educational & motivating. She is in the health + wellness space, and I love her take on the industry.

EDUCATIONAL

If you’re into finance, investing, business-y topics, I love listening to FINANCIAL FEMINIST, FRESH INVEST + ROBINHOOD SNACKS. Well, Robinhood Snacks is more like a “news” podcast of business-related things that are going on in the world, but they put it into a really easy to understand way + is (as the hosts would say) “easily digestible”.

THE NOW NOT YET: This is more of a spiritual + philosophical podcast with some really interesting discussions about greek philosophers, the Christian worldview, theology, etc. Truthfully I don’t even know how to explain this podcast to others, but I thoroughly enjoy the discussions the three hosts have among themselves within the philosophy + religion space. In their words, their mission is “Understanding our culture in light of the ‘Kingdom of God’ “. Also, the three hosts are Philly locals (and two are personal friends of mine 🤩)!

WHAT’S THE JUICE: I love Organic Olivia‘s holistic approach to health + wellness. She brings on different guests to discuss different aspects of how to live healthier in different aspects of our wellness journey. It’s been super educational. If you love this kind of topic, you might also enjoy following Illie on instagram.

CHITTY CHATTY

FIRST SIP: Another Philly local 😅 This is a great podcast to listen to while sipping on your morning coffee (or unwinding in the evening). They’re just two dudes discussing various things in life, either pop culture, something that’s happening in their personal lives, or simply random topics. It’s entertaining!

THANK YOU FOR ASKING: And another local Philly gal! I love following Amber on instagram. I feel like I can 100% relate to her personality type. I also loveeee listening to her speak! In her episodes, her mission is basically to figure out how powerful women are “doing it”. She has a variety of women on her show, talks about routines, realities of being a Black woman, adulting, fertility, + basically a variety of topics. It’s part motivating, part educational, but always entertaining to listen to her discussions.

THE B*TCH BIBLE: This is a total guilty pleasure. Don’t judge. I honestly don’t even know how to explain it. It’s a bit of pop culture talk, making fun on influencers, offensive, jokes that are partly the truth, and entertaining. Following Jackie on instagram is also a hoot.

MIND BODY NO SOUL: It’s meditations, but not the kind you think they are. And I can’t stop listening. Again, don’t judge.

Anyway, I feel like I just spilled some vulnerable details about my personality + about the things I like to listen to 😅 Let me know a little about yourself by leaving your fave podcasts in the comments below!
