The Podcasts You Should be Listening To! | Other

Over the last year, I began doing something I never thought I would- listening to podcasts!

I never enjoyed talk radio, you know the radio shows your dad made you listen to on the way to school, so I assumed I wouldn’t enjoy podcasts.

I was so wrong. I was wrong to assume that podcasts were anything like talk radio. I was so wrong to assume I was not a podcast person!

I have been listening to some really good stuff this year, and as much as I love music, sometimes a podcast has won over music on my drives to work, or to get the girls after work.

My kids don’t love it, they would rather watch Paw Patrol or Frozen, or even listen to Disney soundtracks! But, it gives them some quiet time, and they take naps in turn! *Parental Win!*

I wanted to share my favorite podcasts that I listen to regularly with you, and a few more that I hear nothing but good stuff about!

I don’t listen to the same podcasts every day or even every week. I kind of skip around and pick out of my favorite based off the topics and titles of the shows, or sometimes I hear good things about a certain show of the podcasts, and I have to go listen for myself!

Like I said, I love music (I have an odd playlist), but since I love music so much, if these podcasts take the place of my jamming to and from work, you know that means they must be pretty good!

Not to mention, sometimes, you just need something more mellow in your life, for your drives, and this seems to be it. Especially, when they are uplifting or motivating! We all need that in our lives!

Rachel and David Hollis

How could you have a list for podcasts or personal development and NOT have the green herself, Rachel Hollis included on it?

You can’t.

Rachel’s solo podcast can be life changing. She is an extraordinary speaker, motivator, encourager, and she is funny. She interviews people who are running life in ways we want to be- happily, entrepreneurial, and successful (however you define that!)! (I know I can’t be the only one who likes those is aiming for those things!)

While I love Rachel, her podcast, her books, her IG.

I thoroughly enjoy the podcast she and her husband do together. The last book I read by Rachel, she explained that they want their marriage to not just be great, but be EXTRAORDINARY. That has stuck out to me ever since, that’s when I began listening to their podcast, Rise Together. They touch on subjects of all kinds, from just talking to your spouse, to the good stuff- sex. Someone needs to, right?

The Upside
​with Callie and Jeff Dauler

Jeff and Callie are a great team, and they have something special going with this podcast, they have an amazing way of making positives of every situation, and they are sharing that practice with the world! Separately, Callie is a fellow blogger (and true Atlantan!), Jeff is a former radio host, who has been in Atlanta for several, several, years now.

The Upside has daily, weekday shows, a Facebook group for all their “Upsiders” (listeners), meetups, and a Shop on their website, which features the reason I began following Callie years ago on IG, GRATITUDE JOURNALS!

Listen to Callie and Jeff HERE.

Proverbs 31 Ministries Podcast

On Sundays that I can't make it to church,or maybe even days that I haven't had time to sit down and do my daily devotion, this is one of my go-tos! 

Proverbs 31 Ministries is also where I get my daily devotions, straight to my email's inbox. Their devotions and ministry is one of the many things that inspired me to begin studying more in His word, and also to begin sharing His word with others. 

Listen Here.

Jeremy and Audrey Roloff
Behind the Scenes Podcast

Another podcast I found by way of a book. I picked up a copy of "A Love Letter Life" back in the Summer, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I finished in like two or three days. This was another thing that motivated me to begin writing again.. I also reviewed the book on this post HERE. 

The Roloffs touch on all types of subjects, and interview many people, from other authors to family members!   

Listen HERE.

Julie Bauer
PaleOMG Uncensored

This girl, cracks me up! I am not paleo, because let’s face, I could never give up rice or other complex grains that simply. That’s my truth. But, she is really insightful on all things food, all things fitness, you name it. She’s knows it. And she has a really cute dog!

An Up and Coming Podcast:
​NonExclusive Podcast

I found this podcast through a good blogger, and began following her on IG. She is a very new podcast to my listening ears, but I think she is going to do great things.

Their goal is to remind you that “you are not the only one”. If you have ever felt like your the only one, you totally understand!

I can’t wait to see what these two do!

​Listen here!

There are so many podcasts on the air, you are for sure to find something you enjoy! From crime podcasts, to diesel truck podcasts (yes, that’s real!), there is one you will enjoy somewhere!


It seems like more and more more people are going to podcasts instead of radio, or even blogging.

That’s why I believe there is one for everyone, even when we think they are not our thing!

What are you listening to? Do you have your own podcast? We want to know!
