When you want to be successful in your work, family and social life, it can get pretty overwhelming – right? Instead of feeling helpless, you have to push through – and listening to similar stories from confident women is one of the best ways to do it.
That’s why we love “Power Podcasts”. Power Podcasts are female-led podcasts that offer stories, anecdotes, and real-world advice for women and by women. It takes grit, dedication, and a whole lot of confidence to succeed in life, so we need to all stick together and learn from one another. There is something so beautiful and empowering about hearing the stories, career advice, struggles and triumphs of people we know and admire. The most gratifying aspect of these podcasts is we can all relate to them personally and professionally.
We know you’re busy, but even the busiest and most successful women make time to listen to tips from people they admire. And these power podcasts certainly prove that.
Ahead, the podcasts to make you a badass at your career.
