The 10 Best Podcasts For Relationship, Life, and Career Advice
Enjoy some seriously good company and A+ advice, without saying a word.
Forget what you think you know about the category of self-help. It’s not all loud and preachy. It’s been replaced with authors, journalists, influencers, and celebrities taking to the mic to share their lived experiences. Or! Inviting others onto the mic to unpack their stories, too.
Whatever part of your life you want to improve, there’s a podcast (or thirteen) for it. But we’ve narrowed it down to the best of the growing bunch, on matters of love and life and career. Plug in for some un-cringe and un-saccharine advice. We promise you’ll feel better for it.
1. I’m Wigging Out
with Lucy Neville and Kee Reece Searles
A weekly podcast dedicated to overthinkers and deep feelers. Hosts Lucy (twenty-something) and Kee (thirty-something) unpack a listener's dilemma via their own life learnings, and sharing personal anecdotes. It helps when the talent on mic have an unwavering support for each other and have stood/slumped/cried side-by-side during some of life’s big moments. You feel this connection through the content. I’m Wigging Out is consistently like being enveloped in a warm hug to stop your spiralling.
2. Life Uncut
with Brittany Hockley and Laura Byrne
Conversations on love, lust, life, and a bunch of other stuff. Like listening in on the group of girls next to you at the wine bar, basically. Brittany Hockley and Laura Byrne first bonded over their shared experiences on set for The Bachelor Australia, before quickly falling into a very powerful friendship. Perhaps because of their similar carefree, unfiltered energy? This is what to expect when they speak with each other, their audience, and an array of exciting guests on Life Uncut.
3. The Imperfects
with Hugh van Cuylenburg, Josh van Cuylenburg, and Ryan Shelton
When we’re imperfect, we build deeper connections. That’s what these three men are doing; relaxed, raw, roundtable discussions with some of the world’s most interesting people. Brothers Hugh and Josh, with best mate Ryan, are encouraging their audience to share their struggles as a way to improve happiness, general wellbeing, and self-esteem. If Mick Fanning, Grant Denyer, and Missy Higgins can wade through depression, loss, and loneliness, then so can you.
4. KICPOD
with Steph Claire Smith and Laura Henshaw
The two inimitable female founders of the renowned KIC (Keep It Cleaner) app—Steph Claire Smith and Laura Henshaw—have brought their passion for health and wellness to a more interactive format. KICPOD is focused on conversations about feeling your best. Not forcing yourself to look a certain way. Because sometimes the fitness industry (and traditional media, and social media) will have you believe otherwise. You’ll also find marriage, motherhood, sleep, technology, and celebrity on the agenda too.
5. Anything Goes
with Emma Chamberlain
Previously dubbed “the voice of Gen Z”, Emma Chamberlain prefers to keep her diary in a digital format. This is it. A very unpolished look at what’s on her mind as and when she picks up the mic from within her own home. Often, from bed, and wearing sweats. As casual as it can get. Anything really does go on this podcast. Sometimes philosophy, sometimes a random story from 10 years ago, sometimes advice, sometimes fun interviews. You’ll tune in again and again because the unexpected is what’s so thrilling.
6. She’s On The Money
with Victoria Devine
From a very young age you know what money is, and how much power it holds, but you’re not always told what to do with it (by educators, by parents). So, let Victoria Devine, an ex-financial advisor, help shape your relationship with wealth in a really positive and engaging way. Join a community of 400,000+ listening to She’s On The Money, to learn how to buy their first property, invest for the first time, or tackle budgeting, saving, and debt. Chatting about finance, in this format, feels more like a group chat.
7. She’s So Lucky
with Les Alfred
A chart-topping weekly check-in for women who are dedicated to creating their own luck, against all odds. Les Alfred invites special guests to sit with her and indulge in compelling conversations that might just inspire you to seize the moment and live life on your own terms. Entrepreneurs, creatives, athletes, this is a space for women to feel free and heard. Sit back and soak up all the hacks and habits they have to share for manifesting success in your personal and professional life.
8. How To Fail
with Elizabeth Day
Renowned author, journalist, and broadcaster, Elizabeth Day, wants you to celebrate the things in life that haven’t gone quite right. Thinking instead about what you might have learned along the way, and not just focusing on the final outcome. Maybe you’ve just lost a job or are stepping away from a long-term relationship? Either way, with distinct British humour, Elizabeth fosters painfully honest conversations with big personalities to help reframe how we think about the F word.
9. No Deep Dives
with Flex Mami
Discontinued? Yes. Still an incredible backlog of content? Also, yes. No Deep Dives was once the brainchild of bestselling author and critical thinker, Lillian Ahenken aka Flex Mami. Here she tried to unpack the natural and spiritual dilemmas that don’t come with a clear explanation. Blending philosophy, psychology, astrology, and self-discovery, this perplexing podcast is for anyone ready to embrace life’s synchronicities. Spoiler: there’s a lot of them.
10. Female Founder World
with Jasmine Garnsworthy
The go-to podcast for entrepreneurial women who are looking to start, or scale, their business. Jasmine Garnsworthy sits down with real-world founders who have seen incredible, international success (think: Aleen Dreksler behind Betches Media, Chelsea Parke of Parke, and Sophie Hood starting Seoul Tonic) to draw out actionable steps and helpful advice for anyone looking to follow in the same footsteps. Become a member and you’ll gain access to a suite of resources and invites for irl events.
