Question of the week. Where do you turn for motivation?
When my “cups run dry” (or whatever metaphor you like to use), it’s essential that we return to the well for more water — or in this case, fresh perspectives and motivation from others. Whether you’re someone who is always on the quest for personal growth, you’re gathering inspo to push forward during a tough time, or are looking for a new podcast to listen to – I’ve got just the recommendation list that covers all of the above.
Best For | Creative Motivation
Where To Tune In | iTunes; Spotify
Despite the title, the Beautiful Writers Podcast isn’t only for writers. It’s a source of motivation for all creative listeners, and I love this show for its deep and honest conversations with seasoned thought-leaders. Whether you’re seeking encouragement and how-to tips, or you wish to channel inspiration from your favorite authors, this podcast (aired monthly) is one of our favorites. It is hosted by Linda Sivertsen (aka Book Mama).
Reviews | “I can’t even put into words how much this podcast has changed my world…I recommend it to anyone and everyone in need of inspiration, regardless of their interest in writing. It’s engaging, informative, funny, inspiring, and enlightening…pure magic.”
– Brooke B, iTunes Review
Best For | Career Motivation
Where To Tune In | iTunes; Spotify
Are you considering a career switch? Switch, Pivot or Quit can help with that (often) intimidating and (sometimes) terrifying transition. Host Ahyiana Angel — someone who switched careers herself — delivers actionable advice and motivation tips to propel you forward in your career goals. You won’t want to miss a single episode. Airs weekly!
Reviews | “Ahyiana and her stellar guests shine the brightest of lights on what it means to be a female in business and life! Bold, insightful, and engaging are just a few of the words I’d use to describe the time you’ll spend with them.” – Katie Joy B, iTunes Review
Best For | Life Motivation
Where To Tune In | iTunes; Spotify
Want to live “a fully-engaged, fiercely-connected, and meaning-drenched life?” Then The Good Life Project podcast is for you. It’s hard to explain this one, as every episode is as unique and profound as the featured guest. Hosted by best-selling author Jonathan Fields, the show has been praised by The Wall Street Journal as one of the best for self-development. Expect a deeply-moving conversation with creators, spiritual leaders, activists, and change-makers. Airing twice weekly.
Reviews | “Wonderfully mindful and honest. I’m so glad this is in the world. If you’re looking for media that is grounding and purposeful, you’ve found it.” – Erin D, iTunes Review
4. Power Hour
Best For | Life Motivation
Where To Tune In | iTunes: Spotify
Airing from across the pond, Power Hour with wellness expert Adrienne Herbert motivates listeners to pursue their passions and achieve sustainable success. Talking weekly with the UK’s leading coaches, creatives, change-makers, and innovators, Herbert examines the daily habits and life shifts needed for ultimate success.
A podcast for my friends abroad, as well as for US listeners, I love this one for familiarizing ourselves with Europe’s best trailblazers and motivational figures.
Reviews | “This podcast gives me so much inspiration. I look forward to each episode so much, as each guest is so different and brings such a unique look on things. It always inspires me to have more confidence in myself after listening too!” – Charlie L, iTunes Review
Best For | Life Motivation
Where To Tune In | iTunes; Spotify; GooglePlay
Sometimes the best thing we can do to summon motivation is to listen to the stories of others; there, we find ourselves. Enter the Armchair Expert podcast. You won’t get bullet-point lists or how-to tips from host Dax Shepherd. You will, however, hear inspiring and honest conversations between Dax and Hollywood stars, iconic influencers, authors and musicians, and renowned experts (don’t miss the episode with Esther Perel). An “elevated experience” inviting listeners to contemplate their own sources of inspiration, Armchair Expert airs weekly.
Reviews | “I’m not exaggerating when I say Dax has already helped me live a happier life in just four episodes because of the little shifts in perspective I’ve been able to make after listening to him and his guests.” – Jay W, iTunes Review
