7 Lifestyle Podcasts to Start Your Day

via

Podcasts are slowly becoming one of my favorite forms of media - I can put one on while driving, cleaning, or checking emails, and I end up getting 2 things done in the same amount of time. Here's what I've been enjoying:

The Influencer Podcast | If you run a blog, Instagram, or are an "influencer" in any form, this podcast has great suggestions and tips for making the most of your influence and turning your side hustle into a full-on business. I mostly love the short episodes called Influencer Insights that provide quick and helpful tips for blogging, but I also will listen to longer episodes if the topics catches my attention.

Gals on the Go | Hosted by two of my favorite ladies on YouTube, this podcast is like sitting down with your best friends and chatting for an hour. I love that they cover topics ranging from dating in college to fall lifestyle favorites, and no matter what they are talking about I love hearing what Brooke and Danielle have to say!

The Glossy Podcast | This podcast is so cool because it is designed to interview people who are at the forefront of fashion, beauty, and technology. I love the unique spin on this podcast and the intelligent, thought-provoking conversations that this podcasts promotes.

Good + Social | I have only just started listening to this podcast, but it has the coolest theme! The team at Good + Social interviews people who are active in creating sustainable, for-good businesses. This podcast is right up my alley and is brand new so I am excited about the potential for new episodes!

Often Ambitious | This is another new addition to my list, but the ladies of Often Ambitious are funny, insightful, and provide real commentary about what works and what doesn't when it comes to being an influencer or businesswoman. 

The goop Podcast | I have a newfound fascination with the goop brand and think the GP and her team and honestly incredible! They are masters of branding! This podcast provides really in depth interviews with people who have unique and/or controversial opinions on their area of expertise. Two of my favorite episodes so far were with Bryan Stevenson (who was my commencement speaker!) and the 10 year anniversary episode with Gwyneth herself, where she opened up about her parents, her divorce, and her motivations. It was so interesting and I felt so connected to her story! Plus, she has the most relaxing voice of all time.

WorkParty | Based on a book that recently came out, WorkParty talks all things business with incredible women. I love the upbeat energy of the podcast and the no-BS attitude of it all. And I absolutely LOVED the episode with Kristen Bell, who not only is the funniest and most down-to-earth actress maybe ever, but she also runs a wonderful company that is giving back through the sale and donation of granola and nutrition bars.
