Are you a podcast-listener? I can’t say I’ve always been into podcasts because only in recent years did I discover the magic that they offer. I thought podcasts were only for NPR business folks and religious expression but that’s only a small fraction of the podcast universe. As a matter of fact, they’re so diverse that today I’m sharing my favorite health and wellness centered podcasts.
Before we get to the list, I know there are some people out there who need some convincing. If you have yet to get into podcasts, here are some reasons why I love them:
1. They serve as an educational tool and offer exposure to people and ideas you may not otherwise hear about
2. An episode or two in the morning or the evening helps me ease into/out of my day
3. It feels like I’m sitting in on a conversation with friends when I listen to podcasts
When I started listening to my first favorite podcast, I enjoyed knowing there were many episodes for me to listen to and jump around with as I pleased. (Back in the day that was Stuff Mom Never Told You). Once I caught up with all of the episodes, I took a years-long break from podcasts.
Now, I’m back at it and exploring other podcast series! There’s a few that I keep on rotation and am siked to recommend. I hope some of these strike your interest or encourage you to give listening to podcasts a try if you don’t already!
Soul on Fire Podcast
This high-vibe podcast started out as being an inspirational interview series between Jordan Younger, the woman behind The Balanced Blonde blog, and entrepreneurs in the health and wellness industry. Slowly, it transitioned into more of a holistic health and spirituality podcast. Jordan keeps it real and gives listeners some next-level vibes that I can’t say I’ve found elsewhere. There are some stand-alone episodes that I really enjoy but you get a better feel for Jordan’s journey (and yours as you go along with her) if you listen from the beginning.
Kalyn’s Coffee Talks
I first became obsessed with Kalyn’s Coffee Talks on her YouTube channel. She touches on everyday issues like anxiety, stress, time management, and more. Kayln is young but she is extremely helpful for advice on manifesting positive life changes. During her short but informational podcasts, she’ll talk through how a subject affects her and address the unconscious processes we may go through. On each episode, she provides suggestions for kicking bad habits and tips for how to be your most productive and badass self. These are GOLD.
Party in My Plants
Talia, the host of the PiMP podcast, is a ball of energy! She is so passionate about the benefits of plant-based foods while also providing tools to make it doable for everyone. Her podcast episodes are very insightful because each episode narrows in on specific topics related to physical, mental, or dietary health. The podcast is also a great resource for any and all sorts of healthy living tips you could ever want!
The Vreeken Bessa Show
This is a fairly new but awesome podcast addition to the health and wellness sphere. My Instagram pal, Andrea, co-hosts the podcast but I’m not playing favorites here. The Vreeken Bessa Show feels like a cozy sit-down with girlfriends discussing holistic health and women’s issues. Some topics you may have read about or heard of before but still give the episodes a listen—the hosts put a fresh spin on them that you won’t want to miss. The show is only a few episodes in so definitely start with the first episode.
One Part Podcast
OPP is hosted by the amazing blogger and cookbook author Jessica Murnane. She speaks to other bloggers, authors, scientists, and revolutionaries in different fields. She has her own set of health issues so she does a beautiful job of bringing that to light and providing specific resources for listeners and their varied concerns. I love how easy it is to jump around amongst episodes so if you want to dive into some random favorites of mine, check out: Episode 19: Finding Your Gift With De’Mar Hamilton of The Plain White T’s and Episode 95 Are You an Empath?+Strategies for Sensitive People with Dr. Judith Orloff.
It was very hard to keep this list at just 5 because I have a lot of podcast loves. I’ll save my other genre of podcast faves for another day. 🙂 If you listen to podcasts, what genre do you like? I’d love to hear any podcast recommendations!
Xoxo,
