I’m so late to the podcast party, but it’s hard to listen with my constant companions and their million interruptions. But! I’ve finally found the answer: running! Those 30-45 minutes by myself seem to be the perfect amount of time to listen to an episode or two. I have been listening to all.the.things and they’re super diverse on purpose: I want to immerse myself in lots of viewpoints and ideas. You know me, I’m always learning. Here are ten podcasts I’ve tried so far:
1 // ELISE GETS CRAFTY
small business knowledge & thoughts on goal-setting, motivation and creativity
Episode listened to: on finding more in less / ep 141
2 // SORTA AWESOME
In the drudgery of daily life, it’s easy to forget that all around us (and within us!), awesome things are happening. Each week, author and show host Megan Tietz and co-hosts Kelly, Rebekah, and Laura serve up fresh doses of sparkly small things and provide thoughtful answers to listener questions all with an eye on helping you make your inner awesome shine.

3 // ANOTHER MOTHER RUNNER
This weekly podcast explores the intersection of running and mothering. Host Sarah Bowen Shea, a mom of three and veteran of a dozen marathons, is joined by a rotating coterie of co-hosts and often a guest expert to discuss topics ranging from how to reach a big race goal to the value of a best running friend, and everything in between. Training, nutrition, motivation, mental toughness, TMI issues: These mother runners cover it all (and then some).
