19 Motivational Podcasts Guaranteed to Improve Life

Podcasts can be an ideal escape from reality. They can leave you laughing for an hour or they can help to uplift your spirits. Motivational podcasts, in particular, are the perfect way to improve your day. You can go about your daily tasks (cooking dinner, driving to work, or walking the dog) while still picking up life tips.

Have you ever heard of the idea that you are a reflection of the three people that you spend the most time with? When I first heard that, it really clicked with me. I realized, though, that it’s not just the people that you spend your time with, but the platforms you spend your time ON that will impact your overall mindset.

So, I became more conscious of what I was listening to and who I was giving my time to. I began listening to more uplifting and “self-help” style podcasts. Gotta admit: I cringe saying “self-help”, but I’m not sure how else to describe them other than health and wellness or, motivational. Over the past two years, I’ve found several podcasts that I can turn to for inspiration or to help me feel more like the badass that I am. Of course, I never stopped listening to true crime because… #addicted.

But, if you’re on the hunt for some podcasts to invest your time in so that you can be a reflection of the positive mindset and go-getter lifestyle, look no further. I’m sharing my top 4 killer recommendations below. (Not like, serial killer… but, if you want true crime recs holla in the comments because I’d be happy to share that passion, too!)

The Skinny Confidential Him & Her Podcast

This is my all-time favorite podcast. If you ask any of my friends, they’ll tell you that I’m truly addicted. Lauryn and Michael interview all kinds of people from entrepreneurs to bloggers and other podcasters to recovering drug addicts. They’ll share all kinds of different approaches to personal growth and even though some of the conversations go down a path that I would never personally try, I love how it opens my mind to different ideas. Lauryn always asks her audience to take what they need and leave what doesn’t work, but listen with an open mind.

Topics range from intermittent fasting and healthy eating to skincare or self-love to success tips and relationship advice. Before listening, you should know that this isn’t your standard “self help” podcast and is not always a safe listen if you have little ears around.
