Self Improvement Podcasts To Inspire Personal Growth6 min read
As an entrepreneur, a mom, and a wife (without nearly as much time to sit down and read uninterrupted as I’d like) I’ve found self improvement podcasts to be the perfect way to prioritize personal growth even in the busy seasons, allowing me to soak up wisdom and inspiration while driving, doing dishes, or tackling the never-ending laundry pile.
The real struggle though is finding the good podcasts. There are so many options out there, and let’s be honest—not all of them are worth your precious time. The last thing you need is to hit play and wonder if you just wasted 30 minutes of your life.
That’s why I’ve done the hard work for you, distilling the overwhelming world of podcasts into the ones that will leave you thinking, “That was the best 30 minutes I’ve spent all day!”
The Best Self Improvement Podcasts for Personal Growth
Here you’ll find the best self improvement podcasts that I’ve loved for many years, and some recommendations for which episodes to get started with!
- The Life Coach School Podcast with Brooke Castillo: Life coaching is all about personal growth, which is why The Life Coach School Podcast is number one on my list. Brooke Castillo is like that brutally honest friend who tells you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. If you’re tired of your own excuses and ready to get out of your own way, this is your jam. My favourites are:
- Impossible Goal Action
- Who Are You Becoming?
- Lies We’re Taught
- Thinking Big
- Believing Hard
- Throw Away Your To Do List
- The Capacity To Have
- Philosophize This! Podcast: Stephen West breaks down the great works of philosophy in a way that’s not only easy to understand but also entertaining. Whether you’re new to philosophy or just want a refresher, this podcast covers everything from ancient thinkers like Socrates and Plato to modern-day concepts, leaving you with fresh insights on how to think critically about life
- The Human Upgrade Podcast: I love listening to this one because it helps me take my game to the next level. Dave Asprey interviews successful people from around the world, and explains what they’ve learned or what they do differently that helps them live a better life. All of these people are experts in their fields and their statements are backed by scientific research, which is fascinating and reassuring. Check out:
- Your Microbiome May Be Misbehaving – Naveen Jain
- The Dark Side of EMFs – Peter Sullivan
- Create the Person You Want To Be – Brendon Burchard
- The Tony Robbins Podcast: Tony’s all about changing your state—emotionally, mentally, physically—so if you need a dose of “I can take over the world” energy while waiting in line at the grocery store, hit play. My favourites have been:
- How To Make The Decision To Do The Impossible
- Fear Will Destroy You Or Drive You
- The Marie Forleo Podcast: Marie is like a personal development fairy godmother, sprinkling humor and heart into business and life advice. She’ll make you believe that anything is “figureoutable,” even that project you’ve been avoiding like the plague.
How To Change Your Life
Here’s the thing: listening to podcasts or reading personal growth books isn’t going to magically change your life unless you actually put the insights into action.
I used to be the queen of this—devouring personal development books, getting fired up by the ideas, and then skipping over the exercises designed to help you implement them, all so I could dive into the next book. Sound familiar?
Real personal growth doesn’t come from consuming endless content—it comes from setting intentional goals and consistently working toward them.
When I started taking the time to reflect on my year, set clear goals for the future, and track my progress quarterly, monthly, and weekly, things started to change. My life began to feel almost too good to be true—because I wasn’t just dreaming about growth; I was living it.
If you’re an ambitious entrepreneur or someone ready to create more success and fulfillment in the year ahead, my Life, Business, & Goals Planner is your next step. It’s designed to help you get crystal clear on your goals, keep them front and center, and make real, meaningful progress toward the life and business you’ve been envisioning.
