Top 10 inspirational podcast for women!

Podcast are my way of switching off, learning and being uplifted spiritually. Here are my top 10 podcasts for women focused on faith, health, food and fun!

I listen to podcasts rather than listening to the radio while driving or dwelling on the mountains of laundry to fold, podcasts are an activity I look forward to and motivates me to do the “mundane” everyday activities. I have learned so much and grown in my faith and wholesome living practice. Through this review I will share my top 10 podcast for women.

Disclaimer one: Discern with Scripture and Prayer!

I believe we need to discern using scripture and prayer whatever media we consume. Although I enjoy these podcasts, and feel I have been uplifted by them, I do not want to suggest I agree with absolutely everything they say from a Christian or health perspective. Here are just some suggestions for podcast for women that may be for faith, health or just for fun!

Disclaimer two: I’m a podcast Junkie

Yep, if you know me personally and haven’t heard me say “I was listening to a podcast the other day and….” you are either deaf or really haven’t listened to me talk at all! I love learning and podcast are one way I can learn through listening on the go. They help me pass time during household jobs, they fill my heart with the gospel and inspire me in my homemaking, OT and mothering journey.

FAITH Podcasts for Women

1. Revive our Hearts Podcast for Women

The revive our hearts podcast was recommended to me by a friend from my Church. Since diving into the episodes I have absolutely loved this podcast. The podcast host Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth is a godly woman filled with wisdom. Her mission is to call women to freedom, fullness and fruitfulness in Christ. My favourite thing about this podcast is the focus on the gospel. We can easily be sucked into the “emotional” accounts or opinions of other women. However, this podcast for women continually points back to God’s word.

Nancy is also an author of 24 books and is part of the Revive our Hearts ministry for women. She also hosts a podcast of bite sized devotions called Seeking Him which I have yet to get in to, but excited to try!

RECOMMENDED EPISODE:

I recently finished Nancy’s series on Psalm 23. Wow for having read that psalm about 300 plus times and reciting it by heart I really didn’t know it at all. Definitely worth a listen!

2. Risen Motherhood Podcast FOR WOMEN

This podcast for women is a beautifully real space. Emily and Laura are sister in laws who share their gospel centred tips, encouragement and challenges on motherhood. I love listening to this podcast as it has encouraged me in my new role as a mother to look to Christ for guidance, purpose and hope. We can get bogged down by the decisions, responsibility, or mundane repetition of motherhood. We can easily lose focus on our purpose here on this earth. God has called us as women and mothers to raise our children and open our homes to be places of learning and growing in Christ. The Risen Motherhood podcast has challenged some of my habits and weaknesses as a mother and daughter of Christ.

3. Now that We’re a Family

I recently stumbled upon this podcast. This team of parents both young and old share wisdom and helpful tips for raising kids intentionally. This podcast but the practical tips on raising our kids to fear God and glorify him, learning to submit to God’s will in our marriage relationships and more are so helpful to listen too. Recently, they spoke about media and books we read,watch consume. The episode really challenged me to look at how these things affect my life and motivated me to be more vigilant in what I choose to consume everyday!

Health PODCASTS For WOMEN

1. Fertility Friday PODCAST FOR WOMEN

The fertility friday podcast for women is where my podcast listening journey started. I began listening to this podcast when we experienced infertility. Lisa Hendrikson-Jack shares a wealth of knowledge about women’s health. She exposes the challenges of birth control pill, toxins, fad diets and backs it up with reputable interviews, research and life experience. Even if you are not going through infertility it is so important to learn about our bodies to understand what “healthy” actually is. Lisa also shares how to use the fertility awareness method for natural conception.

Being newly married I didn’t even know this was a thing. I believe we need to know more about our bodies as women to properly care for them and use natural ways to support healthy pregnancy or give our bodies rest from having children.

Lisa has also wrote a book called the 5th Vital Sign, host online courses and has created a charting workbook to help in tracking and understanding our cycles.

I recently started listening to this podcast as more and more I realised that our gut is so closely linked with physical health, diseases and autoimmune conditions and our mental health. I am also interested in fermented foods, bone broth, cooking from scratch and cooking tips. These guys have a lot of knowledge, lived experience and tips to share! I love all things nerdy and listening to someone spout off well-grounded research and sciencey facts gets me excited!!

They also have a online store which supplies all you need for fermenting, sourdough bread, and organic cooking! Check out Nourish Me Organics Here!

I have learned so much about traditional ways of eating and the benefits of changing my diet to a more wholefood focus. Focusing on the Weston A. Price foundations work this podcast covers topics like how to eat the right fats, the impact of screen time and simple ways to change your diet.
