This month, I listened to A LOT of podcasts. Between washing dishes and getting 10,000 steps a day, sometimes I listened to over 2 hours of podcasts! I found some cool new shows that I’ll keep listening to.

If I had my own podcast show, I feel like it would be just like Teach Me Something New with Brit Morin. Brit is the founder of the lifestyle media company, Brit + Co. In her podcast, she interviews CEOs, actors, athletes, scientists, and a bunch of experts in their own fields. Here are three episodes included in this month’s playlist.

The women share their fertility journeys, break down stigmas, and answer some common fertility questions.
- Credit Card Tips & Travel Hacks with Brian Kelly, AKA The Points Guy: If you aren’t getting points for your credit card spending, then what are you doing? Brian Kelly recommends some starter credit cards and how to work the credit card and airline industries.

I became obsessed with Glennon Doyle after reading Untamed, and I’m so glad she started a podcast. This episode focuses on her anxiety as an adult and specifically as a mother, and then she takes audience questions. She is so raw and genuine, and it’s always a relief to hear that you’re not alone struggling with anxiety. I also love that each episode ends with the song that her daughter Tish wrote.
