5 Must Listen To Podcasts For Motivation and Inspiration






Listening to podcasts have become a staple in my daily routine. I have chosen to turn off the radio, unplug the TV, and tune into podcasts. My preferred time to listen to podcasts is when I am at work and during my werk hours. Yes, the second werk is spelled with an “e” intentionally, keep reading to find out why. I am currently subscribed to over 20 podcasts but there are 5 specifically that I listen to for motivation and inspiration. Listening to other people's stories and knowing where they were and where they are today is truly inspiring and motivating. Here is a list of my 5 motivational and inspirational podcasts:




1. Confessions of a WERKaholic- Confessions of a Werkaholic shares the untold success secrets of fearless female entrepreneurs who are obsessed with success. The "E" in Werk stands for the Energy and the Effort you put into yourself and your business.  Koereyelle Dubois interviews female entrepreneurs and small business owners who put the "E" in werk to get to where they are today. They tell the how, why, and what they have learned on their journeys.
