Want a little more out of your drives to work? Sick of listening to the same Today’s Top Hits playlist? Yearning for some new podcasts to look forward to every week? 

Hand-picked by your very own, let’s delve deep into some of the most empowering podcasts to get your life together (that have immensely helped me) and feel a little bit more in control with your finances, social life, work, and well…. life!

The Rise & Conquer Podcast

 

This one is for the gals! The R&C podcast is one of the most popular self-help/health podcasts in Australia hosted by entrepreneur, Georgie Stevenson. She talks all things about thriving in your career, health, relationships, mindset and lifestyle. 

I personally love that Georgie is super transparent with her business + breaks down the taboos talking about miscarriage and her guest speakers each week! From taking a completely different career path from being a lawyer, she is the epitome of why changing careers can pay off in the long run!

Listening time: varies from 30 mins to 1 hr

Shameless - “For smart people who love dumb stuff”

 

Shameless is one of my faaaav podcasts of all time. For people who want to catch up with all things pop culture + learn some life advice along the way, why not pick up Shameless on your next drive? 

What Michelle Andrews and Zara McDonald are mainly known for is their pop culture wrap episodes each week - delving deep into topical news stories from that week + some stories you may have missed. 

The gals also release Scandal every Monday, episodes that dissect notable moments in pop culture history, the important info we may have missed or were not talked about in the media at the time. 

To top it all off, they also host a Book Club episode every month for all you bookworms! I love how open and honest they are with each other as well as their audience!

She’s On The Money with Victoria Devine + Gen Z Money with Azaria Bell

Thought I’d pop these two amazing financial podcasts together as I can’t get enough of the both of them!

She’s On The Money is all for millennials who want financial freedom. If you’re struggling and want to stop the never ending cycle of living paycheck to paycheck, without skimping out on brunch, then this one’s for you. Podcast host Victoria Devine talks all about turning your relationship with money into a healthy one, without living on a two minute noodle diet. Focusing on the adult things they never taught in high school like health insurance, investments, budgeting, credit, salaries, shared finances - money doesn’t have to be boring!

Listening time: 30-40 mins

If you’re under 24, Azaria Bell with Gen Z Money has got you covered. With short informative series about property and investing as well as managing your first job, purchasing a secondhand car and money saving tips, Azaria explores it all and breaks down  the scary and dreaded world of managing your personal finances!

Listening time: 20-30 mins

You’re Wrong About

Journalists obsessed with the past, Mike and Sarah from You’re Wrong About delve deep into misunderstood media events of the past and interrogating why and how the public got things so wrong. From the biggest murder mysteries, myths, to the most important issues surrounding the world today - this podcast covers quite a bit!

Mamamia Podcasts - The Quicky + No Filter

Mamamia has some amaaaazing podcasts going at the moment but these two are my go-to!

If you’re keen on a quick news fix on the most important stories, topics and trends in the news cycle, have a listen to The Quicky! If you find the news cycle overwhelming, confusing or even a bit boring - this is a daily podcast that gets you up to speed with what’s been happening + deep dives on one topic you need to know more about.

Listening time: 20 mins

No Filter is hosted by the woman herself, Mia Freedman to have candid conversations with interesting people who have fascinating stories to share. From interviewing politicians, athletes, business leaders, authors and everyday Australian’s who have achieved some extraordinary things, this weekly podcast is definitely one to add to your schedule!

Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus discuss living a meaningful life with less. From all the simple things in life that can sometimes overwhelm us (success, love, happiness, materialism, friends), The Minimalists podcast guys covers just about everything when it comes to decluttering in all aspects of your life. They’ve also got essays, books, TED Talks and a Netflix doco to have a look into to spruce down your life!
