About this time last year I wondered HOW IN THE WORLD did people have time to listen to podcasts?! Especially busy moms?! I don’t spend time commuting in the car, nor do I have long stretches of uninterrupted “Free” time to listen to whatever I want. I’m usually working on my photography or Beautycounter business and cannot focus on podcasts during that time. But, I started listening to podcasts while I was doing dishes, or folding laundry, or going on walks with the youngest kid + dog, or while I waiting in the school car pickup line.  Most of these podcasts average about an hour in length. Some are short 15 min blips, which is awesome if you need a little pick me up.

I’m sure this list will grow with time, but for now, here are a handful of my favorite podcasts. I think all these folks are Christians, some emphasize it in their message, others not so much. Some are geared towards moms, some towards the business owner/entrepreneur, etc… some are just great to listen to other people’s stories.  It’s fascinating hearing other people’s stories and learning about their journey. It helps you not feel so alone. Anyway, I’ve listed my 6 current favorite podcasts below. Hope you enjoy!  What are some other good ones I should know about???

 

1. WORK HARD MOM HARD Podcast :

   I’ve met Kari at church not long before she moved back to Southern California where she grew up. We have several mutual friends so it makes it even more special/real when I listen to her. This is a podcast dedicated to Mom’s who are working hard to build their business while raising their babies. Each week we will be diving into mindset, motivation, inspiration and practical tools to help you find clarity in the chaos. I’m all about getting you out of your head and into messy action so you can make the impact you crave and the income you deserve.

   Kari is so candid and ALWAYS FIRED UP. It feels like she’s my personal inspirational business coach at times & is all about supporting and encouraging one another. Go listen!

4. DON’T MOM ALONE Podcast

Heather MacFadyen, mother of four boys, connects you the listener with people and resources to help you feel less alone. Consider it an invitation to “withness”. With mentors. With friends. With God in you! Over at DontMomAlone.com she helps join y’all to the ‘Not Alone Community’.

I like how she interviews people on sometimes “taboo” topics like divorce and sex, all with a Christian foundation. Very interesting stories shared.
