7 Best Podcasts for Truth Bombs & Tough Love
I am the biggest book nerd you know, I read A LOT. Sadly, I cannot always have my nose buried in a book, when I am doing other activities but still want to feed my brain I turn to podcasts! Whether you are a podcast lover or have never listened to one, this is the list for you! I am breaking down my top 7 podcasts and a few honorable mentions! Send me your favorite so I can add to my list!
Rise & Rise Together by Rachel Hollis & Dave Hollis
Who is surprised that Rachel Hollis is at the top of my list? Yea, I didn't think so and if one wasn't enough my girl Rach has two podcasts! Talk about doing all the things! Rise is Rachel’s solo show where she is speaking to other girl bosses (mostly) and occasionally a key note of hers. This is hands down my favorite one, I love everything she does and since I cannot be at all the conferences she speaks at, I can still soak up all that goodness for free in my yoga pants! Rach, you’re my girl!
Rachel and Dave also do a couples podcast called Rise Together and if you are a fan of their morning show every weekday morning on social media you will love this one too! In case you don’t know that reference, go to IG or Facebook and search Rachel’s page, it’s hilarious. They go over all things relationship and #marriage, and they have incredible guests as well, this one is so great if you are looking for real life advice on how to do all the things!
The School or Greatness by Lewis Howes
This is one of the first podcasts I started listening to so this is part of my OG crew. Lewis has a really cool story of starting as an athlete, ending up leaving due to an injury, and lived on his sisters couch and being broke to where he is now. He has really cool guests from all kinds of backgrounds, but more than that he is a great storyteller and gets raw and real with the good and bad which I truly love. He has been so open and honest about some of the most painful experiences in his past and he exudes pure love and joy, he is worth a listen!
Ed Mylett Show by Ed Mylett
Who loves some tough love, yep me too girl, you will love Ed Mylett! He is an entrepreneur, author, public speaker, and performance expert. He has a wide variety of guests who are making an impact in the world. I devour these episodes every time they come out! Every single time I listen I find a mic drop moment. I also really appreciate how he connects with his fans on social media, I posted one of his recent episodes on my IG stories and he sent me a personalized response that was so kind! That is a true leader and someone every one should listen to! Seriously, go subscribe, I will wait.
The Growth Tribe -- Ellyn Schinke
The Growth Tribe is one of the newest podcasts I have found and quickly becoming one of my favorites! Where are my fellow perfectionist at!? Yes girl, this one is for you! Ellyn is talking about burn out, false beliefs, and fear of failure, all the tough stuff! She has a cool story about completely changing course after dropping out of her PHD program to pursue a life she loves. She gets raw and real and has some incredible guests who are insanely successful giving you the truth behind all the pretty pics on social media.
Empower Her by Kacia Fitgerald
This saucy lady is becoming one of my favorites, she has the most energy I have ever heard in another human, seriously I wish she would bottle it and sell it! I have followed her on Instagram for a while and she recently started a podcast a few months ago and it’s quickly growing. The podcast is really inspiring and she brings some serious truth bombs!! She has some really cool guests on the podcast and she goes solo, and I cannot decide which ones I like best! Plus she has the cutest pup ever named Lizzie who is basically Abby Roo's blonde twin so please check out her IG for that sweet extra!!
Real Talk with Rachel Luna
Truth bombs for the win! Anyone else realizing there is a theme of truth bombs and tough love in all the podcasts I listen to? Any how, I digress, this amazing queen is all about the real reel! She is an author, coach, mom, wife, woman of faith, all the things! She has a fantastic mix of mindset and business show topics. She also has an amazing Instagram and she also always responds and somehow she even remembers everyone she interacts with! That is a talent I need in my life! Take it from me, and become a loyal lunatic today!
The Joy Junkie Show-- Amy E. Smith
This is my OG podcast, the very first one I started listening to when I opened the podcast app and it changed the game for me! I have had the absolute pleasure of meeting the host, Amy in real life— hugging her, laughing with her and being coached by her! She is a firecracker, and gives you real life, tangible tools and tricks to help with all things mindset! She has the best kind of tough love backed up by a coaching certification, basically my friends she is the real deal! As the intro states she is a an all around badass! She has shifted how I see my whole life, changed the way I process difficult times, honed awareness as my super power and revolutionized the way I communicate with Germain. Amy, if you happen to read this, I freakin love you lady, thank you for making my life better!
A few more honorable mentions because I have a long lists of favorites:
The Tim Ferris Show by Tim Ferris-- Tim is also part of my OG crew and holy moly if you have not read any of his books, put him on your list! He asks amazing questions on his podcasts and the Tools of Titans and Tribe of Mentors have got to be two of my favorite books!
Super Soul by Oprah--I mean come on, it's Oprah! If you are a fan of Super Soul Sunday, you will love this one!
Art of Charm by AJ Harbinger & Johnny Dzubak-- these gentlemen are great and I stumbled upon them when I was searching for something else. They have themed episodes for a month and such great guests! I learn something new every time I listen.
