Over the last year, I’ve become a huge fan of listening to podcasts. There is something so invigorating about popping in my earbuds and listening to inspiring people who are willing share their experience and passion! My favorite places to listen to podcasts are when I’m out walking, working out at the gym, on the plane or pretty much anywhere that I have a little downtime.
There are SO many great podcasts out there! Today I will share with you my top 5 favorites that fall under three main genres including personal growth, parenting and business. I’m always interested in being the best person I can be and as a mother, anything that helps with parenting and being a good role model for my children is high on the list. As an entrepreneur and marketer, I enjoy learning more about trends, especially in the social media marketing world.
Trust me, there is a lot of ‘noise’ out there in podcast land. I am constantly screening through the junk to find the really good ones. If you haven’t discovered the joy of podcasts yet, be sure to give these ones a try!

Mark Manson’s work is just plain blunt, yet inspiring advice on how to approach life in general, relationships, leadership and more.
I’ve been listening to so many other podcasts that didn’t quite make the list this time! These five are the ones that I just can’t get enough of. I definitely plan on compiling more lists like this as I discover new favorites along the way. Do you host a great podcast? Or do you recommend some great podcasts that I should give a listen to?
