Our Favourite Podcasts

The term “self-care” has become somewhat of a buzzword in our contemporary world. In a society where we are more open about mental illness, we are able happy to discuss ways in which to stay healthy, positive and proactive in our work and in our everyday lives. However, in an age of emails, social media, working from home and smartphones we are all prone to the stresses that not switching off provides.

If you find yourself feeling stressed, vulnerable, overworked or perhaps unmotivated we would really recommend listening to a podcast. You can listen whilst driving to work, commuting on a train, at home on the sofa or even on a run. They can be a really helpful resource in combatting stress and giving you much needed self-care strategies.

These are some of our favourite shows. They offer a wealth of advice on how to go about including mindfulness into your life but also provide you with honest conversations about mental health, meditation and that work-life balance we all strive for.

The Minimalists
Two fellas, Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus (AKA The Minimalists) have built a career around helping people learn how to live with less. In this podcast, they discuss ideas about how to live a life disconnected from social media and the benefits of living a slow, minimalist life. The two guys often discuss positive energy thieves and the importance of removing toxic relationships from your life. Some of their advice can be very extreme (ie. get rid of all your materialistic possessions), but they often share sensible and relatable tips for living a happier, more positive life. Link to The Minimalists
