I wrote a post about my favorite podcasts last year and since then, podcasts have grown immensely and even more during this pandemic. Everyone is listening to them and if you’re not, what’re doing? There are so many genres of podcasts out there from true crime to spirituality, entertainment, and even audio shows! A ton of people have even started to release their own this year. So, I’ve decided to compile a list of a few shows that I love listening to and can relate to, so enjoy this list of podcasts for the 20 something millennial.
Self Help & Love
Self help and self love is not selfish! It is important that we love and care for ourselves! If you’re figuring out ways to improve in this area, these podcasts are perfect! They all speak on being happy, confident, and share insight on being a bad ass bitch!
This podcast talks about all things happiness and joy in all areas of life. Gretchen talks about exercise, love, death, and connects the stories to everything in life.
Adulting can be hard! When you move out of your parent’s house and step into the real world, it can be hard to adjust. No worries because Zack, Abigail, and Nikki share stories, give tips on health, wealth, sex, dating, happiness, career and so much more!
This podcast is all about channeling your energy and becoming a badass divine woman in all areas of your life. Viola covers a range of topics from business, mindset, growth, success and much more.
Black Girls in Om is a great podcast for women looking to heal, practice and learn self love, embark on a spiritual journey and so much more. If you’re looking to become a stronger woman in every area, definitely check it out.
Spirituality
This podcast is one of my favorite spirituality podcasts. If you’re looking to learn more about connecting with your mind, body, and soul and learning about the beauty of living an abundant life— this is for you!
This podcast is more than just discussions on being calm. Nathalie provides guided meditations, relaxation audios, and gives tips on how to be stress free, healthy, and live your best life.
Empowered Health isn’t strictly spiritual but it is very educational. Emily talks about all forms of health, myths, and breaks down stigmas. It’s a great listen if you want to learn about how to properly care for yourself.
This podcast is all about becoming a goddess in your own self right. She has discussions on self development, wellness, mindset, and discovering your life’s purpose.
Career
These days, many people are looking for ways to become an entrepreneur and work for themselves. This podcast gives you the proper tips and steps to achieve those goals. Cathy tells her story, tips, and interviews other entrepreneurs who also give advice and share what helped them achieve their career goals.
Girlboss is definitely one of my favorite career advice shows. Sophia interviews a ton of amazing women in the industry and what they did to create a name in their industries.
This podcast is rooted in faith and helps women by giving steps to become an ambitious and powerful woman in all areas of life.
Selfish babe is the podcast that reminds you that you are a strong queen. They cover a range of topics from finding your purpose to being your best self and putting yourself first in life. Also, career, being healthy, and dating are amongst the few.
News & Education
I love listening to this podcast when I first wake up because it covers everything newsworthy that happened the previous day. Literally, it is like your personal assistant that reads off yesterday’s headlines while giving slight insight.
It’s important that we all read and educate ourselves! This podcast gives book recommendations and discusses the releases of new books. It’s like a YouTube channel that discusses movie trailers and does reviews but for books.
With everything currently happening right now in the country— especially with the Black Lives Matter movement, I think it’s important for us to understand race relations. Both of these podcasts feature journalists, professors and other high level people of color who speak on their own experiences and share insight into what’s really going on.
True Crime
I love True Crime and love listening and learning about what drove these killers to “snap.” Not in a creepy way but educational! All of these podcasts talk about serial killers and cult leaders and what their passions were, what their childhoods were like, and if they experienced any traumas. My favorite thing about true crime shows is that; it could be the same story but each host is so different that it feels like you’re hearing a new story.
Entertainment
This podcast is truly cool and unique in its own nature. Its episodes are essentially story times from everyday people, telling their tales on everything from death, sex, and money. You can listen to the most interesting and craziest stories.
I know this is geared towards children but…its great! I am a strong advocate for educating children and this is the perfect show for that. Each bedtime story is about strong, influential women throughout history.
If you love Insecure (the television show) then you’ll love this podcast! I love podcasts that are after show/recaps of episodes! It reminds you of what happened while giving you more insight and allowing you to think and see the bigger picture of the episode. This show is hilarious and great.
This podcast may not be for everyone but if you’re grown, give it a shot! I am all about sex education and love listening and reading crazy and funny sex stories. This podcast is all about sex but in a multitude of ways.
Relationships
If you’re in a relationship, looking to get into one, engaged, have been married for years– whatever the case may be, these shows are perfect for you! I love relationship shows because it’s refreshing listening to other couples share their insights, stories, struggles, highs, lows, and just give advice. Definitely check out these shows.
Okay, here is your ultimate list of podcasts! Let me know if you listen to any of these or what your favorite show is! And if you do tune into any, let me know how it goes darlings!
