Podcasts, even though they are not a new innovation, they have certainly grown in popularity over the last few years. 

Although this is not something to be surprised at, because if we stop and think about all the many benefits podcasts have the surprising thing is that they have not become as popular years ago.

And because of their ongoing popularity, not only their audience has grown, but also the number of creators who host a podcast, making it easy to find a program about basically any topic you want to learn more about.

One of those topics is personal development, which now thanks to podcasts, experts and gurus on this topic have the opportunity to share their knowledge and advice with the world in this incredibly practical format.

So, if you are new to the podcasting world and want to know which ones are the best self-improvement podcasts out there or are simply looking for a new program to listen to, this is the list of the top 10 best self improvement podcasts!

The benefits of podcasts

As we said earlier listening to podcasts has many positive impacts but what are actually these benefits?

To start with one of the greatest things about podcasts- they are basically free education! And who can say no to learning about a topic that you are interested in for FREE? I know I can´t.

Another great benefit of podcasts is the possibility to listen to them while carrying out other activities, like cleaning, walking, driving,  grocery shopping…

Besides listening to a podcast episode while doing these things makes the chore much more interesting. So basically were are making a “heavier” and boring activity much more entertaining and fun while still learning something new. Isn’t that awesome?

Podcasts are also incredibly useful if you are someone who doesn´t have a lot of free time to read a book, or an article to get your daily dose of new information and learn about a topic that interests you.

So, without further due here is the list of the best self-improvement podcasts.

In this list, you´ll find podcasts about self-help, and personal development, podcasts to help you build your self-confidence, become more mindful…A variety of topics to help you build a better relationship with yourself and improve your life in many different ways. 

Some of these podcasts are hosted by experts and gurus on these matters, like Jay Shetty or Kathrin Zenika, while others are by less-known hosts.

But the bottom line is that all the podcasts in this list will provide you in each episode with information, tips, tools, and resources that will help you grow as a person and become the highest version of yourself as well as teach something new every day.

The Mindful Kind

The first podcast on our list is hosted by Rachel Kable who with an amazingly relaxing voice shares really helpful and educational tips about stress management, mindfulness, and mental health.

One of the best things about this podcast is the short duration of the episodes, great for someone who doesn’t have much time to spare or commit to longer episodes.

Another great thing about The Mindful Kind is the practical tips she provides. Because the episodes are short they are quite clear and direct, including practical, concrete, and simple steps and tips you can follow to implement the things she is teaching into your life.

If you are a beginner at mindfulness I highly recommend you this podcast for one reason. And that is that the episodes aside from being short and with practical tips are very digestible, the way she explains things makes it very easy to understand the information she is transmitting. This makes it possible to listen to a couple of podcast episodes without feeling overwhelmed by all the information in them.

Personal growth podcasts. By the book

Have you read a self-help book or the preview of a book, and wondered what would your life be like if you implemented all the tips and information written in it? Well, then this podcast is your answer.

By the Book is a very original podcast where each episode their hosts, Jolenta and Kristen, choose a self-help book and live by its rules for two weeks to discover what are the tips and tools that actually work and the ones that don’t.

This book aside from making a summary of each self-help book offers you a preview of what your life would be like if you implemented all the information from these self-help books, and gives you an idea of how effective are the strategies found between the pages.

Listening to this podcast can be a real-time savior since you can figure out through their experience if you should even invest the time to read that book.

And even if you decide not to read the book you can still benefit from the most interesting and helpful tips, strategies, and information in them without having to spend the time and money.

Manifestation Babe 

Manifestation Babe, a podcast about manifesting money, success, abundance, and your dream life, is hosted by Kathrin Zenika.

Katrin, the daughter of an immigrant Russian family has an incredibly inspiring story about how she went from living on her grandmother’s sofa to becoming the boss of a seven-business empire.

Not only is her story inspiring, but also the vibes and confidence her voice transmits, which will certainly motivate you to implement and try all the tips and strategies she shares in her episodes.

Her podcast is clear, direct, and filled with incredibly useful tips and tools about manifestation. Her insight about money and financial freedom is really eye-opening making us see through an awful lie that we have been told since childhood, and that is that there is no shame or avarice in wanting and working for more money, that money in itself is not a bad thing.

Perfectionism Project

If you are a perfectionist like me and you always want to make sure everything is absolutely perfect, then this podcast is for you.

The Perfectionism Project is a podcast hosted by Sam Laura Brown – a perfectionism coach- where she gives incredibly useful tips and strategies about topics such as habits, self-improvement, overthinking, procrastination, having an all-or-nothing mindset and of course, overcoming perfectionism.

One of the things I love and appreciate the most about this podcast is the rawness and imperfection of the host, which is kind of ironic considering the title.

This podcast is ideal for entrepreneurs and business owners since perfectionism is a bad habit these types of people often struggle with.
