Whether stuck in traffic or making dinner, I love podcasts for my daily dose of inspiration, insight, and humor. I’m into everything from boss babes chatting about owning a business of their dreams to women discussing life, parenting and marriage.
Below are some of my favorite podcasts. Each podcast differs in approach and covers a variety of topics, offering something for everyone. Listen, learn and laugh!
My favorite parenting podcasts:
- One Bad Mother. A comedy podcast about motherhood and how unnatural it sometimes is. Despite the laid-back vibe, the topics are relevant, and guests are invited to discuss specific issues and share important insights.
- The Extremely Good Parenting Podcast with Kara Carrera. Kara talks about real issues that real parents face day to day in raising children of all ages. She perfectly finds the good in parenting, even when we feel like we are failing.
