5 Self-help Podcasts To Listen To When Things Get Overwhelming

Podcasts are booming right now, and with loads out there to enjoy, it’s sometimes tricky to know which to choose.

During the lockdown and through furlough life, more of us are working from home and spending more time on the sofa or in the garden relaxing in the sun. Podcasts are great company on your daily exercise too, whether you’re walking, running or cycling.

There’s everything from self-help advice podcasts, to storytelling and comedy, so there’s bound to be at least one out there that you won’t be able to stop listening to. So plug in, get out your front door, put your feet up or even listen while you’re cooking and cleaning. Here are my top recommended self-help podcasts:

 Happy Place – Fearne Cotton

Fearne chats to a lot of well known names from a range of industries and backgrounds about what happiness means to them. They discuss the ups and downs of life and the journeys they’ve been on both personally and professionally.

This podcast is such easy listening and so many of the topics talked about are super relatable to most of us. And at least one or two episodes will be celebrities you love and can learn more about!
