My Fave Podcasts

Whether I'm fumbling through my morning routine or cruising to work with a Starbucks latte at my side, its highly likely I'm listening to a podcast. After I had my son, I started to spend less time in front of the TV, which meant less awareness of current events, pop culture moments and business happenings. What I really missed were compelling interviews with movers, shakers, celebs, politicians and entrepreneurs. I fell into Podcasts and haven't looked back. If a particular topic or person interests me, I'll search and tune into an episode. Along the way, I've found a handful of Podcasts worthy of subscribing to. There's definitely a female empowerment-inspirational-kick ass theme that weaves throughout my faves. If you have a favorite Podcast, be sure to leave a comment below. I'd love to check it out!

CTRL, ALT, DELETE Podcast hosted by Emma Gannon is truly a favorite. Emma is British (which makes her infinitely cooler than me) and a blogger, author, speaker, and, of course, Podcast host. Her ease and approachable nature with guests makes me feel like I'm sitting in the interview room, quietly listening in. In particular, I love her interviews with Estée Lalonde, Lena Dunham, Liv Purvis, Sophie Kinsella, Tanya Burr and Victoria Magrath. I'm a huge admirer of female content creators, so these particular episodes are right up my street. The heart of each guest interview is centered on how the Internet and social media has forever changed our lives - a topic that never ceases to amaze me. 

The Ladygang Podcast hosted by Keltie Knight, Jac Vanek and Becca Tobin has literally gotten me through tough traffic jams, less-than-inspiring work tasks and plenty of mornings in front of my mirror. Imagine the conversations you have with girlfriends over a boozy brunch or a GNO dinner....boom, Ladygang in a nutshell. Whether they're sharing Hollywood pitfalls, interviewing famous guests, or discussing "Mirror Mantras", you're guaranteed to laugh. A few of my favorite episodes include interviews with Ali Fedotowsky, Tia Mowry, Louise Roe, Jenni Pulos and Dina Manzo. 

Girlboss Radio hosted by Sophia Amoruso provides a healthy dose of fearless-intelligent-kick ass female inspiration. If you're seeking the courage to make an entrepreneurial leap of faith or in need of solid advice, you must tune into Girlboss. Sophia interviews legit girlbosses who have blazed trails in creative, cultural and business ventures. From Skimm co-founders, Danielle Weisberg & Carly Zakin to CEO and Co-founder of Class Pass Payal Kadakia, there's definitely a Girlboss interview that will resonate with you.

Lady Lovin hosts Lo Bosworth (m'fave cast member from The O.C.). Jilly Hendrix and Greta Titelman break down female empowerment, relationships, health, wellness and NSFW content with humor and a healthy dosage of truth. For me, Lady Lovin is reserved for early mornings or my commute homes when I need a laugh or release. I often find myself wondering why I didn't move to NYC as a young, single 20-something...but I'll go ahead and live vicariously through these girls while I navigate Buckhead in my early-30s. 

NPR's How I Built This Podcast features innovators, entrepreneurs and idealists. If you're curious to learn about the struggles, triumphs and pitfalls of brands like Spanx, Warby Parker, Kendra Scott, Lyft, Airbnb, Kate Spade, Melissa & Doug...than look no further! Thoughtfully hosted by Guy Raz, each interview is an informative discussion on the realities of building a business. If you've built something from nothing - or just daydream about it - you'll love everything about this Podcast.
