Last year I signed up for Spotify Premium for my Yoga classes. A few months in I noticed the section called "Podcasts". Something I've heard of but not actually heard one before. I started listening when I was walking to the bus, on my way home from work and right before a Yoga class began. Below are my five current favorite channels that I want to share with you.
ALSO, did you know there's an International Podcast Day on October 30th!!!!! People all over the world celebrate the history of Podcasts. That's pretty cool :)

Optimal Living Daily
What is this podcast about: Justin Malik reads to you from the best content on the web with author permission… just like an audiobook! There is now five total podcasts in this series but this one is all about personal development, minimalism, and productivity.
Why I recommend it: I think this was one of the first podcast channels I listened to last year. To be completely honest I had no idea what I was in for at the time. Justin has a super buttery voice that almost makes you so relaxed that you could fall asleep. I appreciate that he only reads from the best blogs/books! These podcast episodes keep me motivated to continue on my self development journey.

The Ultimate Health Podcast: Lifestyle, Nutrition, Fitness, & Self-Help
What is this podcast about: Jesse and Marni teach and inspire you to reach your maximum potential in the realm of health. They interview world-class experts in the health & wellness community. Topics include lifestyle, nutrition, fitness, self-help, sleep, meditation, and spirituality.
Why I recommend it: This podcast channel is AWESOME!! The one I listened to last weekend was an interview with Sahara Rose who is an Ayurvedic Healer. As a Yoga Instructor and Health Advocate, I think it's important to explore different ways of doing things. That episode got me even more curious about Ayurveda which led me to read more about it. Jesse and Marni are great at bringing new and interesting content within the health and fitness industry. I look forward to learning more very soon.

Girlboss Radio with Sophia Amoruso
What is this podcast about: Sophia interviews boundary-pushing women who've made their mark—eschewing polite conversation and extracting solid advice from the lessons they've learned along the way. Expect hilarious co-hosts and vulnerable, honest conversations you won't hear anywhere else. Conversations that humanize the known, champion the unknown, and laugh a little at the absurdity of life.
Why I recommend it: I am a HUGE Sophia fan and have been for years! I also really loved the Girlboss show. She's a very inspiring young female who takes business to the next level. My favorite interviews are with Sarah Jessica Parker and Tess Holiday. If your really into what female business women are ruling the industry then listen to this podcast. I promise you will feel the #Girlboss inspiration!
