Whether you’re a podcast junky or new to the scene, you’re bound to find these powerful women-led podcasts will make great additions to your playlist. They range from wellness tips to celebrating inspiring women from history to business – and everything in between.

Each has aspects that make them unique and popular among listeners looking for some bettering of their souls and minds without the confines of staring at a screen. Give each of the podcasts a listen and see which ones hit home where you’re at or where you want to be.

For some quality honest talk about the hard stuff, tune into We Can Do Hard Things, a women-led podcast available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Glennon Doyle began this podcast based on the mantra from her bestselling memoir Untamed.

With her wife, Abby Wambach, and sister Amanda Doyle, Glennon gets down and dirty with the tough stuff like breakups, addiction and abortion, and open up with an authenticity and honesty most hosts lack on these incredibly challenging topics that women face in everyday life.

New episodes come out every one to three days and offer the hope and confidence we so need in these dark times.

In Her Ellement by BCG comes to us from a women-led team of hosts and an all-women team from Lower Street. AI and digital expert Suchi Srinivasan and fintech practice leader Kamila Rakhimova host the podcast, sharing their insights and empowering stories from women in their fields.

You’ll hear inspiring tales, expertise and insights like none other from women trailblazers across numerous business sectors. Listen in on Spotify, where new episodes launch every two weeks.

For a different take on the wellness world – in which holisticism is the focus and unseen points are tackled – check out The Twelfth House. The podcast is hosted by Michelle Pellizzon and features interviews with unique guests who have the “in” on wellness, spirituality and intuitive business practices.

The podcast also offers helps and resources for women to connect more intuitively with their inner selves and the wellness they need in their lives. Listen on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.

Dive into the most intriguing women from history told from the point of view of women instead of the “traditional” male gaze with The History Chicks. Approximately once a month, new episodes drop, exploring some of the most significant women from world history, from anywhere and in any sector in the world. Women artists, inventors, innovators, explorers, warriors – they’re all fair game in this unique storytelling experience.

There are over 250 episodes that range from quick “mini casts” of about 15 minutes to full episodes running 2 hours long. Listen on their website or Spotify.

If you struggle with imposter syndrome, anxiety or self-doubt, then you’ll want to check out Unf*ck Your Brain by Kara Loewentheil. She’s got some incredible insights and explains the issues in ways you don’t normally hear, and it really helps, according to listeners dealing with these common issues.

The internal voice you hear may be directing you to give up and go home, but Loewentheil’s words can help break you free from the patriarchal narratives we women have been living with our whole lives. Listen on Apple Podcasts or Spotify each week when she releases another episode.

When you have a lot of baggage from other people in your life, and all the pain and struggle that comes with that, you need someone to help your creative soul find healing, self-care, spiritual connection, and empowerment as you release the bad and take on the good. Sam Horton can help with her Soul-led Creative Women podcast on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.

Tune in once a week to hear Horton’s inspiring stories about women who’ve faced down life’s challenges and come out on top. You’ll also hear inspirational stories on creativity, artmaking and transformation to feed your creative soul.

For timely podcasts dealing with current day matters like current events or seasonal material, add those episodes in and catch up on older content at a slower pace.

You’ll find the mix has a nice flow of content that inspires on multiple levels.
