Anyone else just love podcasts? We have fallen in love with them- perfect for commute into town, long drives, or time on the treadmill. We’re constantly running between different roles as women—mom, entrepreneur, wife, etc. and it’s nice to listen to those podcasts that build you up and inspire you. While fitting in reading time can be tough, a podcast can be a great way to fit some motivation into our everyday! Here are 7 we love:
Goop
On Tuesday and Thursdays, Gwyneth Paltrow and Goop Chief Content Officer Elise Loehnen interview leaders and innovators, on topics ranging from money to marriage. Recent notable women featured include Sallie Krawcheck of Ellevest and Shannon Watts of Moms Demand Action.
Household Name
Whether or not you’re a small business owner/entrepreneur, you’ll love this fascinating podcast that looks at the stories behind popular brands. This Business Insider podcast covers the gamut of favorites, from Jell-o to Starbucks.
Entreprenista
What is it really like to run a business? That’s the question this podcast asks each week. From the founder of M.M. LaFleur talking about the trouble she had getting funding to the women behind Hatch talking about what surprised her most about her brand’s success, this is a lighthearted but rich must-listen.
Skimm’d from the Couch
If you love Skimm’d (and if you aren’t reading this Cliffs Notes for current events every morning, you should consider starting), you’ll love this Podcast with the founders. They’ve leveraged their network of contacts to bring in amazing female leaders, from makeup legend Bobbi Brown to news anchor Ann Curry.
Superwomen with Rebecca Minkoff
Fashion designer Rebecca Minkoff has made a second career out of advocating for and promoting female leaders through her Female Founder Collective. Through her Superwomen podcast, she turns her spotlight on women and stories you can’t help but be inspired by. A recent interview with Michelle Lee, editor in chief of Allure, who said “we are all going to do better if we help each other.” All of these podcasts have the same message—women supporting, and inspiring women, so that we all do better—and we hope you love them as much as we do.
#MomTruths With Cat & Nat
With seven kids between the two of them, Cat & Nat know just how lonely and isolating motherhood can be. So, they set out on a mission to bring women and moms together by hosting dinner parties and events – with wine and without babies. The events garnered huge success in Toronto and were talked about all over, leading Cat & Nat to take things to the next level and break into the online world to reach more people and connect women and moms everywhere. This podcast explores the business side of who they are and takes you through their journey of building a community, a business, and eventually became accidental mom millionaires.
Rise Podcast With Rachel Hollis
This woman just knows how to set a soul on fire. We love her books, but find that her podcasts can be easier to digest in the short moments we have throughout the day. This podcast gives you tangible and tactical tools for your life and business. Rachel Hollis is a New York Times Best Selling Author and motivational speaker and her voice as she hosts it the right mix of soothing and inspiring. RISE is a series of bold conversations with fellow business powerhouses and personal development leaders that provides the listener with real-life valuable takeaways.
