These are my 5 favorite inspirational podcasts by successful women.
Happy Monday, everyone! I wanted to do a little Motivational Monday and share my favorite podcasts that motivate and inspire me to work hard and stay consistent. All of these podcasts are hosted by women who are successful, entrepreneurial, or own a business. These are honestly the only podcasts I listen to frequently. I promise that after you listen to these, you will be inspired to be productive and get to work. I also share a favorite episode from each podcast. Happy Listening ?
Girlboss Radio
I originally read Sophia Amoruso’s book “Girlboss”. It was about how she alone started a clothing company, “Nasty Gal”, from the ground up. She has since then sold the company and is now CEO and founder of “Girlboss”. Sophia interviews successful female businesswomen, such as Anastasia Soare, owner of Anastasia Beverly Hills and Melissa Grady, CMO of Cadillac. Each episode shares stories of businesswomen starting their careers, their struggles, their success, and real-life experiences of a woman in the business industry. It’s professional, inspiring, and educational to listen to as a “girlboss” myself.
FAVORITE EPISODE: How To Own A Room Like A Boss, with Saweetie
The Skinny Confidential – Him & Her
Fellow blogger, Lauryn Evarts, writer and CEO of “The Skinny Confidential” and her husband, Michael Bosstick host this podcast. It’s all about business, wellness, blogging tips and more. Lauryn is honest, out-spoken and freaking hilarious. She’s not your typical mommy blogger. Also, congrats because she just had her baby son! The episodes include natural wellness tips, interviewing business owners, and overall entrepreneurial advice from successful people. It’s such honest and real-talk between the hosts and guests. Also, I love the bickering between Lauryn and Michael throughout the show.
FAVORITE EPISODE: Jordan Belfort On How He Got Leonardo DiCaprio & Martin Scorsese To Create A Movie About His Life
Work Party
This podcast is perfect for those who run their own business or want to be an entrepreneur. Host, Jaclyn Johnson, is the owner of Create and Cultivate, a multimillion-dollar company. She interviews women guest who have their own business, how they started and tips for starting your own. I love hearing how people, especially women, start their business and everything that happens behind the scenes. I get so inspired by other women’s stories on how successful their businesses are. Having a blog is definitely not the same as having a business but we both still work hard every single day and are in charge of our own brand. Great for motivation, success stories, and female empowerment!
FAVORITE EPISODE: Kourtney Kardashian On Poosh, Money Negotiations, and Work/Life Balance
Thick & Thin
I recently started listening to this one and it’s already one of my favorites! Host, Katy Bellotte, is a YouTuber, content creator, entrepreneur, and ex-corporate worker. She talks about her life experiences, heartbreaks, ghosting, self-love, and everything that happens in her 20’s. It leaves you thinking about how life is one big roller-coaster but amazing at the same time. She’s well-spoken, honest, and relatable. It’s the most unedited podcast that I listen to with the most realistic conversation. Although she is young, she’s done so much for her career and is now a full-time content creator and business owner. Love this podcast.
FAVORITE EPISODE: The Truth About Quitting My 9-5
What We Said
This is my favorite podcast to listen to!! Hosts Jaci Smith and Chelsey Curtis are best friends talking about lifestyle, wellness, business, and sharing hilarious stories from their audience! You feel inspired and motivated after listening to their episodes about business and productivity. It feels like you’re having a conversation with your girl friends. Chelsey is a certified health coach who shares tips on how to stay healthy and happy. Jaci is an influencer who shares advice on how to grow your audience and tips on social media. This podcast is perfect for the business girl, wellness girl, or those who enjoy a feel-good podcast. Easily my #1 podcast.
FAVORITE EPISODE: Tips to Stay Motivated, Self-Discipline, & the Importance of Routine
Those are all my favorite podcasts to listen to! I would love to know what podcasts you are currently loving in the comments. I’m always looking for new ones.

I’ve never heard or Work party, but an excited to check it out. As a female entrepreneur, I sometimes feel alone and having a podcast that features other female entrepreneurs and details their challenges and methods may be helpful.
Erika Marie says
I completely agree that it can be lonely sometimes. To be honest, I started listening to podcasts because I felt lonely being the only blogger I know. I now listen to these podcasts when I work or before for some inspiration and motivation (:
