If you have been following me for more than a day you know I am absolutely OBSESSED with podcasts!
In one of my earlier posts I chat all about how I first got into listening to motivational podcasts.
I legit used to think they were just for college courses. Yeah… what a newbie I was.
Well, 3 years later I am still:
- obsessed with listening to podcasts
- learning something new every day
- working on myself constantly
Motivational podcasts have transformed my mindset, my relationship with others, + how I live my life every day.
So, that’s why I ALWAYS share my favorite motivational podcasts on my Instagram [follow me here!] so I can give you guys a short-cut to all the good ones.
Today, I am sharing 4 of my favorite motivational podcasts that I have had on repeat the past few months!
Be prepared to binge these FYI.
My Current Favorite Motivational Podcasts
EARN YOUR HAPPY
I have been listening to Earn Your Happy for about two years + it’s just that good that I am still sooooo addicted.
This motivational podcast is hosted by Lori Harder. She is a former fitness cover model that now focuses on teaching women how to up-level their mindset + create the confidence they need to build their dream life. My kinda girl.
TOPICS SHE COVERS:
- Happiness
- Gratitude
- Feeling overwhelmed
- Willpower
- People pleasing
- Perfectionism
- Finding purpose + passion
- Stories we tell ourselves
- Goal setting + habits
- Relationships
- Confidence
- Being intentional
- Mindset + abundance
I love Lori Harder’s podcast episodes so much I am currently going back + re-listening to so many of the episodes!
If you are like me + have a crap memory + need to hear lessons like 10 times before you actually take action… well, you get why I am doing this.
I only started implementing writing down notes when I listen to podcasts about a few months ago.
So, since I am going through + listening to Lori’s episodes again I am intentionally jotting down all the good stuff so I can look back on my notes!
FAV EPISODES:
- 379- Trial transcendence and transformation
- 363- Don’t feed your fraud
- 354- What craziness to expect when trying to reach your goals
- 240- How to master your mindset
- 360- Your dreams require this
- 369- Are you being Fauxductive
- 381- Why and how to decide now
- 396- Your pain is powerful
HONESTY NOTE: Skip her Questionably Awesome episodes. There are someeeee nuggets of good info. But, to me it’s a little too off-the-cuff + silly. Just not my jam.
The next 3 podcasts are new ones I have just become addicted to recently! It’s so hard to find new podcasts I love [am I right?]. So, when I do I get so stinkin’ excited.
UNF*CK YOUR BRAIN
How can you NOT want to listen to this podcast with a badass title like that? I stumbled upon this podcast when searching for episodes about people pleasing a few months ago.
Her people pleasing episodes really hit home for me + helped me through some stuff I was going through in my life at the time.
The host, Kara Loewentheil, is a master confidence coach. What’s so awesome about her is that she is a Harvard Law School Graduate that ditched her job as a lawyer to help change people’s daily mindset! Girl, go for your dreams.
TOPICS SHE COVERS:
- Overwhelm
- Rejection
- Fear
- Healthy Habits
- Self-Talk
- Imposter Syndrome
- Self-Confidence
- People Pleasing
- Complaining
- Perfectionism
- Judgement
- Social
- Anxiety
- Jealousy
- Money mindset
- Shame
- Gratitude
She rocks it, too. So worth the career switch!
Her episodes are very clearly scripted, but I kinda like it that way. I feel like I am getting a legit lesson from a teacher + it’s told in a tough love [but, kind] way, which speaks to me!
What I love, too, is that her episodes are very short + focused on a specific topic. Her episode names are so clear that you can scroll through + look for an exact area you want to work on in her life.
FAV EPISODES:
- 90- Perfectionist fantasies + Tomorrow Thinking
- 89- Complaining
- 84- Talking to Yourself
- 80- Judgement vs Curiosity
- 60- Jealousy & Envy
- 55- Social Anxiety
- 50- People Pleasing 2.0
- 4- People Pleasing
It’s sort of weird that she calls all her listeners “chickens” (Macbeth reference? Idk)… but, I can totally look past that because she has taught me so much + comes across as super authentic.
ED MYLETT SHOW
I am SO happy to have found a few male motivational podcasts I love listening to, also! I absolutely love the Ed Mylett Show.
I have a spiritual crush on Ed Mylett, as weird as it sounds. I don’t think he’s the best looking guy… + he’s a bit older, but his personality is so attractive to me!
Listen + you’ll see what I mean [maybe].
He’s a boss. For real. Like built his life from the ground up after coming from very little + basically building an empire. Ed started off in the corporate world in his 20’s + started getting very savvy when it came to investing.
TOPICS HE COVERS:
- Focus + goal setting
- Self-confidence
- Happiness
- Listening skills
- Mindset
- Controlling your identify
- Mindset
- Money mindset
- Fearless living
- Authenticity
- Building confidence
He has not only grown exponentially in his investments. But, he is one of the most intentionally motivating people I have listened to recently.
What I love about him is that he isn’t afraid to talk about his own short-comings + make lessons out of them.
Ed also brings very good guests on his show. Most of them are very successful + also have stories about coming from very little or a “normal” life + building a dream life.
FAV EPISODES:
- The Secret to Growth
- How to build self confidence and self belief
- Stop killing your dreams
- How your ego is causing you failure
- Unlocking your success code
- Unlocking your mind
- Building confidence
- The keys to #maxingout
- The Echo of Life
- The truth about work/life balance
- Money making advice for young people
You don’t have to want to be rich or powerful to listen to Ed Mylett’s show. But, this is for anyone looking to work on improving themselves physically, mentally, or emotionally.
HONESTY NOTE: It drives me nuts how he talks over people so much. BUTTTT, he does admit this is something he’s working on. Also, it probably bothers me so much because I do it a lot to people, also [some truth there!]. That’s why I freakin love his podcast on listening skills.
You also have to check out his lake house on his IG stories. #goals
THE GARYVEE AUDIO EXPERIENCE
You either love Gary or you hate him. For real!
I happen to freakin love him. I have to say that for me his is the biggest motivation + inspiration in my life currently when it comes to following my dreams.
Gary Vaynerchuk is an immigrant that moved to the US when he was 4 from Russia back when it was the Soviet Union.
He has defied so many odds that were put against him + build an insane life that makes him not only extremely wealthy [not so important] but he is genuinely happy. All the freakin time.
TOPICS HE COVERS:
- Business
- Happiness
- Gratitude
- People pleasing
- Confidence
- Empathy
- Self-awareness
- Parenting
- Finding your passion
- Dealing with failure
- Money mindset
- Reaching your goals
If you listen to a few episodes you might think that he seems entitled, overly confident, + blunt.
But, I truly believe that he is one of those people making a giant ripple in the world when it comes to happiness, confidence, + really creating the life you want.
My favorite thing that he repeats is that happiness is being able to do what you want when you want every single day. That’s what he preaches to his listeners.
If you don’t like where you are in life, what you’re doing, or who you’re with… you are 100% in charge of what happens next.
Make a change. Don’t wait till tomorrow, Monday, next month. He encourages his listeners to grab life by the horns + take absolute control.
FAV EPISODES:
- The #1 weakness of human beings
- What the law of attraction really means
- Human pursuit of happiness
- Why giving makes you feel so great
- How to control your mindset
- My definition of being great
- How to stop caring about what other people think of you
- Why perspective will make or break you
- Why giving more than you take is so important
I want to be very clear that most of his podcasts are geared around business + career advice.
BUT, in every single podcast he mentions multiple personal growth lessons about just being a nice person + going after your dreams.
I highly recommend you a least try him + see if he is your cup of tea.
I also LOVE following him on instagram! His IG stories are inspiring.
