I am an avid Spotify-listener, and over these past few weeks I've been jamming to a lot of songs, podcasts, and playlists that have been excellent mood-boosters. I've mentioned a few of them over on my YouTube channel, but I thought I'd make an official blog post about them so it's easier to find for you all.
My favorite podcasts at the moment are:
1. Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend
Oh, Conan. His comedy has permeated the podcast space, and I have been loving it. Nearly every episode has me physically bent over laughing; pondering the discussion he's having with his guest; and wondering how Sona is still employed. It's a hilarious show with a great sense of humor that will lift up any quarantine-depression you may be experiencing.
2. The Skinny Confidential Him & Her Podcast
I've mentioned this podcast quite a bit here on this ol' blog, and I'm mentioning it again because it is that good. Lauryn and her husband Michael delve into all things health, beauty, wellness, entrepreneurship, business, self-development, and every topic in between with a cheeky sense of humor. Their banter is always entertaining—especially when Lauryn jokes about pinching Michael's balls with her toes—and inspirational at the same time. They're real, honest, and funny all while delivering quality content to their viewers. They also just had a beautiful baby girl named Zaza in January!
3. Lewis Howes's The School of Greatness
I've been seriously slacking on keeping up with this podcast which has been a big mistake. Even though I don't share a ton of life experience with a former male football-player, he and his guests have thoughtful insights on improving your life by building confidence in yourself and abilities. I'm always left feeling like I can conquer the world after I listen to his show, and maybe you will, too!
And the songs I've been loving:
1. Hamilton
Just all of the Hamilton musical. Every song. On repeat. They're catchy, make me want to write, and remind me that creating something meaningful and worth-while takes time. Nothing just magically happens to you; you have to work for it and never give up. It's a message I do my best to live by constantly.
2. Harry Style's Fine Line album
Need I say more.
3. The Weeknd's After Hours album
Is there anything better than his intoxicating, smooth-moving music while you're in the shower questioning your life decisions? Me thinks not.
I'm a creature of habit, so I cycle through these songs and podcasts over and over again until I come across something new (while still cycling through the older favorites). I'll keep you all posted on new finds in the coming weeks, since I don't have anything better to do.
