Three podcasts I’ve enjoyed lately.

Oprah’s Supersoul Podcast with Michael Pollan

I loved this podcast so much I listened to it twice. Anytime Michael Pollan speaks, I want to hear what he has to say (I nearly went to an event of his last fall at Northeastern but ended up having to miss!). He’s so level-headed, and he simplifies what can feel really unattainable in reasonable ways. Like when he says, “You want cookies? Great, eat them. Just make them yourself.” While I don’t always employ all of his advice, it just makes so much sense. Cooked is next up for my reading!

Notable quote: The most profound engagement with the natural world happens on our plates.
Worth reading: The Omnivore’s Dilemma

Brene Brown’s Unlocking Us with Glennon Doyle

This is one that I would love to unpack with dear friends. I love so much of what these two women add to the world. The parts on motherhood and martyrdom were so interesting and I can see women from different walks having such different views on it. There were parts that I wasn’t entirely sure I was on board with, but also understood how it would be a balm for some listening. Basically, a great conversation starter. Listen to it, and let me know what you think!

Notable quote: When we grant ourselves permission to live as our truest selves, we automatically grant permission to everyone around us to do the same.
Worth reading: Love Warrior (though I’m dying to read Untamed)

The Moth Podcast (any episode)

This podcast is almost exactly what I want to listen to any day of the week, any time of day. Story-telling at its finest. Non professionals most of the time, but such beautiful vulnerability shown. There’s laughter, there’s tears, the stories run the gamut and I think you’ll love it. I’d love to go to a live event when this is all over.

P.S. My favorite time for podcasts is when I’m doing my makeup or when I’m doing laundry (since I’m not spending much time in the car these days, and I don’t typically have very long drives anyway). Makes the laundry especially enjoyable.
P.P.S. My favorite headphones are these!
