Podcasts have been around for over 5 years now. It is a platform where people get to talk and share their thoughts. I became a fan of podcasts after listening to an episode of ISWIS by Fk Abudu and Jollz featuring Tyomi. Since then, I went on a podcast spree and discovered more fun and motivational podcasts by women.
Are you looking for cooking tips? There’s a podcast for that. Trying to learn about women and reproductive health? There’s also a podcast for women’s health. Do you want to start a side hustle and make it in a male-dominated industry? Guess what…there is a podcast for that!
This is one of the more reasons I love podcasts. When I am not in the mood of reading a book, I just plug in my earphones and listen away. If you spend hours on the road either in BRT, Keke or personal cars, podcasts by women are the best ways for you to be more productive and learn a thing or two.
This is another reason why podcasts by women are so popular because you do not need to be seated to watch an episode. It can be playing in the background as you go about your day.
With that in mind, here is a list of 16 motivational podcasts by women that I am certain will inspire, make you smile and have I said to inspire you?😃.
