Listening to podcasts is a free and amazing way to invest in yourself, to get inspired, entertained, and motivated. Podcasts are my new favorite thing and lately, I’ve been binge-listening to several inspiring podcasts during my commute in the morning. They make my drive interesting and enjoyable, and they set the mood for a positive and productive day. By the time I get to work I already feel energized, inspired, and ready for another successful day.
I also love listening to podcasts while I’m cooking, going for a walk, working out, or doing anything that doesn’t require my full attention.
In podcasts, as in any audio recording, the voice and the tone of the speaker can make or break the deal, that’s why I’ve found myself gravitating toward certain podcasts. The ones I like are those that say something not only through the speaker’s words, but also through their tone, rhythm, and intonation.
I’m sharing with you today 6 positive and inspiring podcasts that will brighten your day and help you feel refreshed and energized. Just give them a try!
