In 2019, I developed an obsession for podcasts.

I was in desperate need for change and a shift in mindset. My life was in a serious rut and I needed to figure out a way to change before diving into a deep depression. After giving a podcast or two a try, in walks Super Soul Sunday by the one and only Oprah. 

Something clicked inside me and I was lit up. Listening to the legendary host and her guests discuss all things universe and self development, I was learning all sorts of things about opening your mind, the opportunities the universe presents to us, and how to really listen to the signs. 

Thanks to Oprah and the many other podcasts I discovered along the way, I was able to develop the courage, knowledge, and drive to start and grow my business.

I felt it was so important to share my favourite “pod’s” that I listen to daily to help inspire change in others as well. Running a business, especially on your own, can sometimes feel stale. Maybe you’ve hit some major goals you were focused on for a long time, and you don’t know where to go from here. A podcast is an amazing resource where industry experts offer up real-world knowledge and advice.

Maybe one of these will give you your next great idea:
