5 Podcasts You NEED To Listen To!

As someone living with anxiety I find it really hard to switch off so I can relax or sleep and on when I need to focus, so I always tend to have something playing in the background to keep my brain from running away with me. One of my go-to things to listen to is podcasts. I only discovered they existed late last year but I was hooked straight away! They are such a great and easy way to expand your knowledge, plus I find them really inspiring /motivating. There are thousands of podcasts out there, so you are bound to find one that interests you. These are just my current favourite podcasts, that I believe are a MUST listen!

Are you wanting heartfelt advice or candid chats?

What We Said is hosted by two best friends, Jaci Marie – A Youtuber, Blogger, and Photographer. And Chelsey Jade – A certified health coach. The podcast is full of heartfelt advice, candid chit chat, fans and friends stories and interviews with inspiring guests. It really is like listening to a chat with your best friends! My favourite episode is 10 Confessions Of A WorkAHolic, In the episode, Jaci opens up about trying to balance her work and personal life as a self-labeled WorkAHolic. It’s also the first episode of a podcast I’d ever listened to and what got me hooked in the first place!

    1. Hope you enjoy them! I love it because I used to spend ages trying to find long youtube videos to listen to while getting ready. Now all I have to do is put on my fav podcast and I learn so much more as well!

  1. Ooh I don’t really listen to Podcasts but it’s something I’ve been really meaning to get in to! The Blogosphere one and The Creative Leap are definitely ones that stand out to me so I’ll be giving them a listen, thank you!
