This week we’re breaking down the 10 podcasts that will change your outlook on life. Truly, we mean it. Some of these shows and episodes can actually enlighten the way you think, go about your life and transform your thoughts. We’ve become pretty big podcast gals over the last few years. In 2020 I said to myself (Cornelia here), that I would spend more time listening to podcasts. It was important to me, to be gaining informative knowledge into my brain! I was working 60-70 hour weeks and I felt like I didn’t have much else to distract my brain from work. I didn’t watch tv, and I had barely any time to read. So I turned to podcasts. I’ve never looked back! And now, I love putting on a solid podcast for a long drive.
Meg and I both share a lot of the same interests and listen to pretty similar shows. So we’ve given you our top 10, so that hopefully you can find some inspiration in these episodes as well. Maybe they’ll change your outlook on life too! There’s lots to be learned. Let’s dive in!
The Skinny Confidential Him & Her Podcast
“Lauryn Evarts Bosstick & Michael Bosstick, the entrepreneurial duo behind Dear Media & The Skinny Confidential have been interviewing the world’s most accomplished individuals for close to a decade. Think world class leaders, entrepreneurs, doctors, celebrities, athletes, executives, bestselling authors, experts, & more. Every episode offers unfiltered conversations with tangible takeaways, advice, & actionable practices the listener or viewer can apply immediately to enhance their own lives.“
This podcast is one we’ve loved since the early days of 2023! From Lauryn’s inspirational solo episodes to each amazing guest they bring on! There is always great chemistry between the host and each guest. There is so much to learn about health, wellness, skincare, business growth tips, the list goes on. We definitely keep coming back to this one over and over again.
The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett
“A few years ago I was a broke, university dropout, at 18 I built an industry leading social media marketing company, and at 27 I resigned as CEO. At 28 I co-founded Flight Story – a marketing and communications company, and thirdweb – a software platform, making it easy to build web3 applications. I then launched private equity fund, Flight Fund, to accelerate the next generation of European unicorns. During this time I decided to launch ‘The Diary Of A CEO’ podcast with the simple mission of providing an unfiltered journey into the remarkable stories and untold dimensions of the world’s most influential people, experts and thinkers.”
Steven Bartlett brings on a very diverse range of guests, talking about many different topics! His type of hosting his podcast is very engaging and leaves you wanting more! This is the type of podcasts where there is something for everyone. We are constantly learning something new and leaving the show feeling inspired! He brings on guests with PHDs in nutrition, lead research analysts at wellness companies (like Woop), and so much more. There has been an overflow of knowledge to learn and we love it! Definitely in our top 5.
ON Purpose with Jay Shetty
“I’m Jay Shetty host of On Purpose the worlds #1 Mental Health podcast and I’m so grateful you found us. We started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before.”
On Purpose has been a go-to for many years now! Jay has some incredible guests, including very high profile individuals where you don’t typically get the see personal side of. I also love the episodes where Jay brings on his wife Radhi (Meg here, I’m a huge fan of hers!!) where they discuss all things relationships!
Kalyn’s Coffee Talk
“An uplifting podcast that is perfect to start your morning with, keep you company in the night, or wind down your afternoon to.

Whatever you’re seeking, this show encourages you to embrace your own sense of self-study and never stop learning. Kalyn’s Coffee Talk, hosted by Kalyn Nicholson, is produced alongside Studio71.”
We’ve been big Kalyn Nicholson fans for YEARS now. Through her times spent as a 20 something in Toronto, to now living her best life in the country with her family, it’s almost like we all grew up together. Kalyn started as a YouTuber and now does it all. From her book club, to her online yoga classes, to her books and now a podcast, she’s like a sister. Her podcasts dive into subjects
Kalyn makes you feel like you are sitting down in a cafe with your best friend having a great life chat over a cup of Joe. The podcast title REALLY does live up to its name!

Siff, the founder of Arrae, shares all things beauty, wellness and business on her podcast! We found out all about Siff and her podcast after we discovered Arrae’s Bloat Alchemy Capsules last year!

She makes you feel like your are having a chat with your older sister who is helping you elevate your life!

If you’re stuck on a rut or finding you’re cultivating too much negativity in your life, her podcast will shift your perspective. She is definitely more on the side of self motivation and cultivating your best life.
Huberman Lab
“Huberman Lab discusses neuroscience — how our brain and its connections with the organs of our body control our perceptions, our behaviors, and our health. We also discuss existing and emerging tools for measuring and changing how our nervous system works. Andrew Huberman, Ph.D., is a neuroscientist and tenured professor in the department of neurobiology, and by courtesy, psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Stanford School of Medicine. He has made numerous significant contributions to the fields of brain development, brain function and neural plasticity, which is the ability of our nervous system to rewire and learn new behaviors, skills and cognitive functioning.”
Transform
“Join the movement to embrace the best version of yourself with two unstoppable forces – Sami Clarke and Sami Spalter, the dynamic duo behind the brand FORM. These twenty-something best friends are on a mission to empower women by providing the ultimate tools to help you form your best self. With that same intention in mind, TRANSFORM is an external journal of growth, where the Samis lift the veil on their personal journeys. Expect captivating solo episodes and noteworthy discussions with expert guests! Despite their vastly different life experiences, their unbreakable bond of friendship weaves a tight cord of connection that invites everyone to relate, learn, and better themselves alongside these extraordinary women. So, gear up for a transformative experience like no other when you tune in now to TRANSFORM!”
Ok so Transform is a newest podcast in our library! I am a big Sami Clarke fan (Cornelia here), as I do a lot of the FORM workouts on the app her and Sami Spalter founded. I just love their vibe, so this one had to be added in. It also falls in line with similar topics in the wellness realm, clearly we have a trend going on here.
The Mark Groves Podcast
“Jam out with Mark Groves as he takes you on a journey to explore the juiciest parts of the human experience and what it’s like to live authentically in the modern world. You’re invited to lay down what you were taught and explore new viewpoints and discoveries in mental and emotional health, physical health and wellness, relationships and the human connection, and hot topics of the world. Open your ears and your eyes to The Mark Groves Podcast.”
Mark Groves was a life saver during many years of dating turbulence. His podcasts really lend a sense of support and clarity through the ups and downs of love. If you’re in need of some relationship advice, ways to grow and develop self love, this podcast is it. Speaking personally (Cornelia here), I was going through a lot of heart break in my later 20s for about 1-2 years before I moved out west. His podcasts really helped shed some light on what I was experiencing.
From understanding why someone may not be able to commit to you, or ways to cultivate self love through a tough time, even navigating new relationships, his advice really spoke to me. I know a couple friends who were going through similar experiences at the time and they really resonated with his content as well. He helped many of us through some dark days!
Let us know what you think of our recommendations! Are any of these on your weekly listening list? If you’re looking for resources to elevate your outlook on life, you’ve come to the right place.
