Podcasts are a great way to get positive messages and inspiring stories throughout your day. Whether you’re traveling to work or just want to learn something new, they’re a great pass time while getting things done.

Some people use podcasts as part of their morning routine. Others listen while they walk to the store or fold laundry. They are convenient, entertaining, and easy to digest on the go. There are all sorts of reasons to consider adding podcasts to your daily routine!

You can listen on your commute in the car or bus. A perfect way to tune out the world for a bit at home as well.

Why I love podcasts?

They allow you to listen and learn, while also completing other mindless tasks!

I’ll list some of my favorite podcasts that offer me daily doses of inspiration, insight, and humor. For each one, I’ve included a description of the podcasts and my reasons why they are my favorites. Each podcast differs in approach and covers a variety of topics, offering something for everyone. Without further ado, in no particular order, a list of seven incredible shows hosted inspiring people:

Girls Gone Boss brings you amazing conversations with real women, overcoming real obstacles yet defying them with style and grace. 

We’ve been needing something like this for a long time! But these hosts and expert guests offer insightful advice and information that is helpful to anyone that listens! Each guest brings a different touch and sparks a new level of inspiration in me. Listening to REAL women ask REAL questions to REAL businesswomen who are REAL about their life as Girl Bosses is a breath of fresh air.

As a young woman myself, I love listening to them to help me get ready and pumped for each day! It feels like I’m hanging out and talking with my girlfriends. Almost like I’m in the same room as the hosts!  These ladies are funny and down-to-earth. It’s nice seeing these Boss Ladies empowering other females! Looking forward to hearing more 🙂

This podcast is definitely among my favorites! It has helped me in gaining a great deal of knowledge, healing, and getting through some difficult moments. I usually listen to it in the morning to start my day and take notes in my journal. I love that we have brown and black girls to motivate and help others through these platforms. 

Podcasts that have real and vulnerable hosts are hard to come by these days, which is why I’m so thankful to have stumbled across this one. They not only highlight relatable issues but also suggest practical resolutions or just something new to try. Also, I absolutely adore the fact that one of the hosts is a psychologist! Listening to black ladies with a positive attitude always puts me in a good mood. 

If you’re a black woman or woman of color looking for an extra dose of inspiration on the go, pull up a seat and join the hosts on the H.E.R. (Healing, Empowerment, Resilience) Space podcast. 

Cat is like that genuine friend everyone needs in their life.  She always gives it her all, and that’s what I admire about her. I listen to this on my commute and it makes me feel both mentally and physically ready for my day. It doesn’t get any better than that!

Instead of making me feel guilty or ashamed for not always being my best self, the podcasts always leave me feeling empowered and hopeful with her topics that are relatable. Cat is really down to earth and funny at times. I enjoy listening to her shows.

Life is an art. Make it your masterpiece.

I initially discovered Lavendaire on YouTube, and I was blown away by all of Aileen’s life-changing advice! I knew I had to listen to her podcast as soon as I found out she has one!! Aileen is really relatable, and I learn something new from each episode that I can apply to my own life to make a positive difference.

This podcast is very comforting and uplifting to listen to. I love how Aileen is discovering who she is and who she wants to be while being open with us on her journey. She’s as real as they get. Her voice is soothing and I was able to look at myself and see where I am in life, after having a quite unclear vision before.

The podcasts where she perceives life are my favorites. She exudes wisdom, has a laid-back demeanor, and a pretty great understanding of how to live a happy life!

This has truly been one of the highlights of my day.

Nicole and Monica are a blessing!! I’m a bit late to the party so I’m currently binge-watching all of their episodes. So far so good! The episodes cover a lot of important things in a clever and amusing way. Each episode is filled with reassuring content and lovely reminders that we’re all on our own path, but we’re not alone!

By sharing their relatable and realistic stories and views, I’m sure they’re making a difference in the lives of many girls, specifically those that are Muslim. I’ve found it to be quite inspiring, and it’s exactly what I’ve been looking for to re-energize my spiritual life. It has also helped me feel more connected to our Ummah and as if there are other Muslim girls out there like me.

Note: This podcast is especially helpful for converts and people interested in Islam 🙂

My all-time favorite podcast!

This was one of the first podcasts that I listened to. A friend recommended I listen to Slay Girl Slay some years back when I was going through a difficult moment in my life making career choices, scary decisions, and simply organizing my life! Though I’m not where I want to be 100%, things are much clearer than before. I’m forever grateful for the impact this podcast has made on my life. I’m sure this has helped so many of us that may be lost out there. This podcast is a true gem in this world.

Every episode has a hidden treasure, and if you don’t agree, you aren’t paying attention. Ashley, the host, has worked to establish a welcoming environment for women and has done a great job at achieving that. I admire how she encourages women to be themselves while also supporting them in becoming a better version of themselves!!! It gives me hope and techniques that I can use daily to ensure that I can overcome any challenge that comes my way.

Want to learn how to be confident, achieve your goals, and be your best self? I strongly advise you to listen to this podcast.

Tune in if you're ready to take your life to the next level! 

Listening to this podcast has been so refreshing, to say the least. A must-listen for all ages.

Amanda always gives so much practical advice on handling maturity, dating, work, and just general interpersonal concerns like setting boundaries and being assertive.  It’s well worth listening to on a weekly basis! I have my notes app open on standby so I don’t miss any of this great advice.

Each episode is full of great ideas and jokes, as well as interesting guests.

Unapologetic, fiercely funny, and searingly honest, Small Doses engages, empowers, and enlightens readers on how to find their truths while still finding the funny!
