To My Empowered Females, These 5 Podcasts Will Change Your Life

Wallpaper Flare

We're all looking to feel empowered, inspired, and motivated during the quarantine. I've been taking this time to really work on my personal growth and look at how I can achieve my goals moving forward! I've jumped on the podcast train- and here are a few of my favorites!

1. Collaboration Over Competition with Sophia Bush - Work Party with Jaclyn Johnson

This is absolutely my FAVOURITE podcast series! Work Party is part of the Create & Cultivate brand, which is a fantastic collective for entrepreneurs, specifically female ones. They host conferences, provide business tips, produce office supplies, and there's even a book!

This episode, in particular, is what really pushed me into becoming a part of the female business/creator community. Something I say all. the. time. is "collaboration over competition." There is room for everyone at the table and women should be here to lift each other up and make a mark in the workplace.

2. Jen Rubio, co-founder of Away: "When you learn how to navigate a cofounder relationship, you become better at every relationship." - Skimm'd From The Couch

Another fantastic podcast series! If you've heard of theSkimm, a modern news delivery service, this podcast comes from those creators. The co-founders interview different powerhouses about career advice, life advice, and their own entrepreneurial endeavors.

I love this episode and how they discuss working relationships and the efforts of building a brand! I personally LOVE the Away suitcases (my travel essential item) and that's what drew me to the episode, but the advice is what made me stay.

3. Michelle Lee, Editor-In-Chief of Allure: "No matter what you do, whether you're in media or other things, learn business." -Skimm'd From The Couch

Another Skimm'd From The Couch. It's just so good y'all.

I love how this podcast talks about standing up for yourself in the business and in the workplace. A lot of people look at people in the media or entertainment industry and discount us a bit, but this episode really highlights the importance of business knowledge and how intertwined the industries really are.

4. Jaclyn Johnson: Create & Cultivate Founder and CEO - Second Life

This podcast is super cool in how it highlights the aspect of a career change, which is more and more relevant in our new generation and the new job culture being created.

"You have to have irons in the fire, and you've got to see what burns," says Jaclyn in this episode. Many women are running multifaceted businesses and lives and are trying to find their directions, especially young women. I love the focus on turning your passion into your career in this episode!

5. Turning Failure Into Triumph With Barbara Corcoran - Superwomen with Rebecca Minkoff

First off, how fitting and wonderful is the title of this podcast!?

We all know that Barbara Corcoran is an absolute queen. While this episode discusses her business endeavors, she also discusses the importance of balancing a life you love that fulfills you in ways that aren't always work-related.

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

583

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

16 Secrets Anthropology Majors Never Admit To

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

Washington College

CSU

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

2320

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
