Best Self Help Podcasts
Are you looking for the best self-help podcasts that can help you achieve a better and brighter year?
As more and more people join the self-help movement, more and more materials are becoming available to inspire and motivate them. Podcasts have become useful tools for self-help professionals to share their knowledge with the world.
My Therapist Ghosted Me
"My Therapist Ghosted Me" is the result of Joanne's therapist doing just that; ignoring her calls, refusing to answer the door at the clinic, or speak to her after she'd tracked him down at Enfield crematorium as he scattered his Aunt's ashes. Despite it all, it’s often said that friends give the best therapy so Vogue & Joanne have teamed up to do exactly that (alongside a generous helping of laughter as that too is said to be the best form of therapy). Together they will give 100% unqualified, unsubstantiated but up front and honest advice on the plethora of issues they and many others continue to grapple with.
Unlocking Us
Brené Brown is an American research professor who specialises in courage, vulnerability, shame and empathy… all the good stuff, basically. Her hugely successful podcast ‘Unlocking Us’ sees her break down and explain the things that define humanity and reflect the experience of being human, from books, films and music to stories from heavyweight guests. Earnest, yes, but improving.
Journey To Authenticity
This podcast is about the quest to uncovering our true self, beneath our conditioning, and making aligned choices. Choices in the areas of purpose, spirituality, relationships & body-mind. Sarah shares her experiences and feature inspiring guests who share their unique stories, practices and perspectives on living an authentic life. Join Sarah on the journey to authenticity, remove the masks, reveal the real you, and spread your light.
How to Fail
Northern Irish author Elizabeth Day has made a success out of failure: her book ‘Failology’ is a bestseller, and her podcast ‘How to Fail’ is both an inspirational reminder that very successful people fail too. It is also a pretty funny series in which guests share generally very amusing anecdotes about the road bumps on the way. It’s definitely one of the lighter listens here, heavily defined by the fact that Day and most of her guests are British (ie heavily willing to mock themselves). Guests run the gamut from Deliah Smith to Phoebe Waller-Bridge.
The Happiness Lab
Doing pretty much what it says in the title, Dr Laurie Santos’s podcast is there to share the latest (and in fact, the not–so-latest) scientific research on the subject of happiness. It’s definitely on the inspirational rather than ‘dry information dump’ side of its remit, but if you’re looking for a show to make you feel a bit better about life and have hard data to back it up, ‘The Happiness Lab’ is the destination for you.
Happier with Gretchen Rubin
Gretchen Rubin is one of the most prominent icons in the podcast industry when it comes to self-help and personal development. Her goal is to help listeners find happiness in everything that they do, and to help them pursue their dream lives.

The Science of Success
