Although I’ve been working on my own podcast, I really only became an avid podcast listener about 6 months ago. Like many people I know, I fell head-over-heels in love with podcasts ever since I started listening to episodes in the car to pass the time while I\u2019m driving.<\/p>\n
Whether you want to tap into your creativity during your daily commute or you just want to learn a new skill while you\u2019re in the shower (no shame!), these are great podcasts to try.<\/p>\n

Magic Lessons with Elizabeth Gilbert<\/h2>\n
I don\u2019t know if any podcast<\/a> could ever top this one in my eyes. It\u2019s partly because of how brilliant Elizabeth is but also because the show is set up so differently. In each episode, Elizabeth takes a listener who is struggling somewhere in their creative journey and then interviews an expert on how to help the listener overcome their struggle. I love seeing a podcast where thought leaders and everyday creatives can come together to share their stories.<\/p>\n Oh, and if you love Magic Lessons, you should read Big Magic<\/a> since (1) it\u2019s amazing and (2) you\u2019ll be able to join our first book club chat when the #createlounge site<\/a> launches!<\/p>\n Recommended episodes:<\/strong> Brene Brown on “Big Strong Magic”<\/a> and The Thing That You Are Seeking Is Also Seeking You<\/a><\/p>\n There a few podcasts where I\u2019ve listened to every single episode in its entirety but I haven’t missed an episode yet in Make It Happen<\/a>. Jen created this podcast for curious, big-hearted, purpose-drive creatives and she inspired me to dabble in creating audio content in the first place. We share the same heart for organic community building and cultivating fulfilling client relationships so if you love #createlounge<\/a>, you\u2019ll love the spirit behind her show too.<\/p>\n Recommended episode<\/strong>s:<\/strong> The Journey of Making Things Happen and Owning Your Creative Process with Kayla Hollatz<\/a> (biased!) and A Year to Savour and A Year to Curate with Caroline Winegeart of Made Vibrant<\/a><\/p>\n No podcast makes me feel as powerful as Sophia\u2019s podcast<\/a>. It\u2019s no secret I love the book #GIRLBOSS and this podcast is the book in action every week. I love how they share #GIRLBOSS moments at the beginning of every show and interview women on how they created their own path to success. It\u2019s incredibly motivating and inspiring while being just the right amount of edgy and fun along the way.<\/p>\n Recommended episodes:\u00a0<\/strong>Jenn Hyman, Co-founder & CEO Rent the Runway<\/a> and Jenne Lombardo, Co-founder MADE Fashion Week, Founder & CEO The Terminal Presents<\/a><\/p>\n This podcast <\/a>became a fast favorite when it launched at the beginning of the year because it feels like you\u2019re chatting with a few familiar friends over coffee every time you tune in. Ashley and Abbigail have done an incredible job finding creatives from all walks of life for their interviews. I seem to learn something different from each guest. They also end each episode with book recommendations which I think is a fun, personal touch.<\/p>\n Recommended episodes:<\/strong> Building Creative Community with Kayla Hollatz <\/a>(biased!) and Make a Mini Creative Retreat with Jenna Moraitis <\/a><\/p>\n After falling in love with Paige Poppe<\/a>\u2019s cacti artwork (mainly because it reminds me of my first home in Arizona) and following along with her creative journey, I was thrilled when she launched Space to Face<\/a> late last year with Asia. What\u2019s so interesting about this podcast is it helps you market yourself not only online but also in your own local community, something many of us forget about when running online businesses. Paige and Asia are an incredibly warm and welcoming duo with super upbeat energy.<\/p>\n Recommended episodes:\u00a0<\/strong>Making a Better Client Experience with Jamie Hyatt <\/a>and Bringing Your Online Business Local & Starting Small with Paige Schmidt<\/a><\/p>\n Being Boss<\/a> has grown from a podcast to a full-blown brand and community for creative entrepreneurs. I started listening about 5 months ago and haven\u2019t missed an episode since. Now in its second year, Emily and Kathleen are broadening the show to include other topics that matter to entrepreneurs like health and wellness along with a little bit of \u201cwoo\u201d, as they like to call it. It\u2019s impossible not to admire the businesses they have created which leads to them sharing awesome, actionable advice along the way.<\/p>\n Recommended episodes:<\/strong> Creating Content with Erica Midkiff<\/a> and Vulnerability as a Creative with Brene Brown<\/a><\/p>\n This podcast<\/a> features some of the biggest names in online business and marketing and is a popular favorite in the creative entrepreneur space, and rightfully so! Brian keeps the episodes fairly short but highly actionable so you can get right to the good stuff. I love how each guest shares their professional background, showing that there\u2019s no one-size-fits-all way to becoming a boss.<\/p>\n Recommended episode:\u00a0<\/strong>How an Obscure Little Niche Led to a Profitable Online Course<\/a> and What Real Entrepreneurism Looks Like, with Rand Fishkin of Moz<\/a><\/p>\n With a good blend of solo and interview episodes, Amber<\/a> shares real stories on what it\u2019s like to be a digital nomad and gives advice on how to make time for passion projects. She always inspires me to move outside of my comfort zone and find the adventure in everyday creative living. She also covers topics based off of her audience\u2019s feedback which makes my community-centered heart soar. If you love pursuing creative exploration, this is a must-listen.<\/p>\n Recommended episode: <\/strong>Building Community with Kayla Hollatz<\/a> (biased!) and Never Stop Learning<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n While the above podcasts are my current favorites, here are a few other podcasts that I\u2019m diving into this month:<\/p>\n Who knows?
