My Top 5 Favorite Podcasts
I’ve really gotten into podcasts since I first discovered them in 2018. Now I’ve made listening to podcasts as part of my daily routine.
Here are 5 podcasts I’ve really been into:
disclaimer: Many of them are motherhood & parenting but some are strictly lifestyle and health. I’ve included blurbs from their podcast pages as well as links.
“As women, we are constantly comparing ourselves to others. But your life isn't supposed to look like hers! Being your best self means standing firm in your decisions and always being willing to grow with a purpose. Amy and Abby get vulnerable and real with an honest look into the challenges and triumphs we all face. Every woman listening gets the opportunity to choose what life looks like for HERself.”
“Co-hosts Meagan Francis and Sarah Powers have eight kids between them, little to grown. Weekly conversations offer practical tips and real-life encouragement for moms who want to enjoy motherhood more, and cut back on comparison, worry, and stress. We're not experts, we're moms who've been there. We're not perfect, we're real. Welcome to The Mom Hour.”
“As a parent, do you ever wish someone could just whisper some realistic and trustworthy support in your ear? And not make you feel awful for not having all the answers? Well, that’s what I’m here for.
I'm Dr. Aliza Pressman, developmental psychologist, parent educator, asst. clinical professor, and co-founder of both Mount Sinai Parenting Center and SeedlingsGroup. And I'm a mom... trying to raise two good humans myself, so I'm in this with you!
In each episode, we'll go deep (but brief) with both experts and parents to share the most effective approaches and tools and talk about the important bigger picture of raising good humans. My goal is to make your parenting journey less overwhelming and a lot more joyful!”
“Husband and wife duo Jordan and Milena Ciciotti take you on a raw and unfiltered journey through their lives as followers of Jesus and parents of two. Whether they are sharing truth and Biblical wisdom, giving relationship advice, or telling funny stories of their dogs, Samson and Delilah, Jordan and Milena seek to exist as a platform for encouragement, love, and support for all who listen.”
“Be Well By Kelly is on a mission to simplify the science of nutrition. I want to make choices, not cheats. I want to live in balance, quiet my inner perfectionist, and never feel like my goals are out of reach. I want to love the way I look AND feel. I want to be proactive about my long-term health and wellness. I want to have a positive relationship with food for the rest of my life.
And I want the same for all of you! Join me and some of my favorite people every Wednesday as we give you all the good stuff (and none of the bad) about nutrition: the positive takeaways, the tools and tips that will help you feel and be well, and a dose of motivation to keep you going.”
And of course, I have to include my very own:
“Sweet nourishment for a mother's soul. Mini love letters to celebrate the highs and lows of motherhood because we all need little reminders that we're doing the best we can when we can.”
Let me know what you guys have been listening to!
love & light,

A quick edit: I’ve recently started listening to Black Girl Voices, a very new podcast and I am obsessed! I highly recommend it!
“Black Girl Voices is a safe space where the voices of Black women, girls, and femmes are heard, amplified, and celebrated and where people on their allyship journey can learn, unlearn, and build community. Created by: Shivaun Montgomery-Haynes and Caroline J. Sumlin”
