My Favorite Podcasts

Today I’m sharing with you some of my favorite podcasts!

 

I’ve had a lot of people ask me for a post on some of the podcasts that I listen to, so I’m finally delivering! I like to listen to podcasts while I’m in the car, eating lunch or taking a snack break, or while I’m in my office working on something that I won’t find it distracting.

 

Some people listen to music during all of these things, and while I do too on occasion, the personal growth/wellness podcasts are just good for my soul. They speak to me in ways that music typically doesn’t.

 

These podcasts inspire me, motivate me, and help me to be the best me that I can be.

 

I hope they’ll do the same for you! šŸ˜‰

 

Think Like a Boss by Maggie Colette

 

To know Maggie is to love her! I cannot tell you the number of times I was having a tough day and I would immediately be cheered up after visiting her IG Stories. While it doesn’t happen as often that she’s sharing messages there anymore, that’s how I became a big fan of hers.

 

She is a social media coach, and especially an expert on IG. However, I just fell head over heels for her amazing attitude and outlook on life! Her podcast is for the most part focused on women in business and tips for being successful, but what I love is that she still carries her attitude right into those topics as well.

 

Barb Knows Best by Michelle Maros & Barb Schmidt

 

This podcast just started recently and I’m obsessed with it! I found Peaceful Barb on IG and have followed her for awhile now. Both her and her daughter do reels together on personal growth topics and it’s so refreshing. Barb also shares photos with quotes on them.

 

I enjoy all of them, and was very excited when she announced her and her daughter Michelle were starting this podcast. They are phenomenal together and it’s just so insightful to hear them speak on these topics, some of them very deep. You won’t want to miss this one! I have no doubt it will be on your favorite podcasts list, too!

 

She Means Business Show by Carrie Green

 

As you can probably tell, just like with Magic Maggie, Carrie’s podcast has a lot to do with women in business. She shares a ton of inspiration and personal growth content as well, and she is truly a light. I enjoy following her on IG, and that’s how I was first introduced to her. She also has a book titled She Means Business and it’s one of my favorites!

 

Cultivate Your Life by Lara Casey

 

If you listened to my YouTube video on the PowerSheets Goal Planner, you may remember me mentioning this podcast! This one hasn’t been updated in a long time, BUT there’s so much valuable insight from Lara in the episodes she has out there. I think she’s the one who got me hooked on podcasts in the first place! Hearing her story, how she loves gardening and how she relays that into other things in her life – it’s awesome!

 

You can check out my PowerSheets Goal Planner Walkthrough here on the blog!

 

Design Your Dream Life by Natalie Bacon

 

I was scrolling through personal growth podcasts on Apple Podcasts one day and stumbled upon this gem! Natalie is such a sweet soul and it truly comes through with every topic she touches on. I enjoy listening to her perspective, and hope that you’ll love her podcast as much as I do!

 

Thrive Podcast by Erica Gwynn

 

Some of my fellow bloggers may know Erica from Coming Up Roses. Her blog is fantastic, and I enjoy not only reading her blog but also her IG content as well. That’s how I was introduced to her Thrive podcast. She has different guests to touch on a variety of different topics. All of them are super helpful and so insightful. She is an inspiration to me!

    These sound like great podcasts! Thanks for sharing! šŸ™‚ I usually have the radio on when we are driving and if I get quite time at home I often have music on as I’m doing other things. I find podcasts too tricky to listen along too, as I can just have music on in the background and can concentrate on other things, but podcasts I feel I have to stop and listen to to take in, haha!

    Hope you’re having a good weekend. We had a birthday party for my son yesterday, so much fun!

      Aww, thanks for reading, friend! šŸ™‚ You make a very good point friend, it does take a certain kind of attention when you’re listening to a podcast. I have to be careful when I’m listening to them because I can either get wrapped up in one of them and not be fully present on what I’m physically doing, or the other way around, haha.

      That sounds wonderful! Hope he had the best time, my friend! šŸ™‚

    I listen to so many podcasts, but none of these and none of them are super geared towards growth. I listen to a lot of crime, or trash shows. 🤣 I will definitely start listening to at least one of these!! Thank you for the great recommendations.

      Ha ha, you’re silly! I am glad you enjoy those podcasts. I’m a fan of true crime but have yet to start listening to any of those podcasts so you can probably help me out with that. šŸ™‚ I hope you’ll enjoy the one you choose, friend!

    I used to really enjoy listening to relationship and self growth podcasts when my daughter was at her school that was further away. I really miss that time and I really kept up with them! Unfortunately, I have’t gotten back into my beloved Podcasts since she’s moved to a closer school. I have tried to listen to them when I pick up the house, or fold laundry, but it doesn’t seem to be enough time. I should try to make more of an effort of finding time for them again, because they helped me so much! All of these that you mentioned sound great and I hadn’t heard of them. I added them to my Podcast list and I’m following some of them on IG now. Thanks!!

    Thank you so much for sharing your podcasts. All of them sound very interesting and I’m sure that I will enjoy so much in them. I don’t know why but I still didn’t have time for listening podcasts, I prefer books.

      That’s totally understandable friend! I can relate to this when it comes to audiobooks versus reading physical books, I prefer reading than listening. I hope you’ll enjoy any of these that you may listen to! šŸ™‚

So I whipped up my favorite quick and easy chicken tortilla soup, and it really hit the spot! Warm, comforting, and perfect for nights when you want something delicious without spending all evening in the kitchen.

🄣 Chicken Tortilla Soup — Stovetop
Ā 
Ingredients
• 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts (cooked — diced or shredded)
• ½ cup diced yellow onion
• 1 tsp minced garlic
• 1 (15 oz) can chicken broth
• 1 cup water
• 1 (15 oz) can corn — undrained
• 1 (10 oz) can original Rotel — undrained
• 1 (10 oz) can enchilada sauce
• 1 envelope taco seasoning
• ½ tsp chili powder
Ā 
Directions
Add everything to a pot on the stove, mix well, and let simmer for 1 hour. The flavor gets even better the longer it sits, but since everything’s already cooked, it’s ready once heated through!
Ā 
Top with tortilla strips, cheese, sour cream, or whatever your heart desires. 🤤 I love to serve this soup with cheesy garlic bread!

What’s your go-to winter comfort meal?
