I love self-help content, whether it be books, podcasts, documentaries, or Youtube videos. There are so many good Youtube channels devoted to personal growth, motivation, and life advice that are worth watching if you are into using this content to better yourself and your life. Here are my favorites.
1. Carrie Rad
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyee8AQyV6g2SGwRjghFb_g
Carrie Rad posts videos regarding self-care, healthy habits, productivity, and traveling. Currently, she is creating a series called "Self Care Summer" and her past series include "Love Your Life" and "Self Love Sunday". If you get inspired by listening to other people's experiences with self-improvement, you should check out Carrie!
2. Rowena Tsai
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaYF1G_L5J7sqJzEeBVUDzw
Rowena Tsai is interesting because she has made a huge change in her life since her teenage years. She was a depressed, reckless party girl until she made the decision to get her life together. She is very open about her struggles and how she has gotten to where she is today. Rowena's channel is a real look inside of someone's life as they are trying to improve themselves, and a good reminder that perfection does not exist.
3. muchelleb
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0sA4gvlWFHfdwaPlBDqnGg
muchelleb runs a great channel about living intentionally, including mindfulness, minimalism, and productivity. Muchelle's videos tend to be shorter and more edited, so they're perfect for people who want to make improvements but don't have the time or attention span for extensive research. Her tips are practical and can be easily applied to your every day life.
4. Kalyn Nicholson
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-CZmKnJbjGWAzJd6cIVUMg
Kalyn Nicholson is one of my all time favorites. She's such a genuine person and is charismatic and open online about her thoughts and where she is at in her life and I feel like I relate to her more than anyone else I have come across online. She makes videos about fitness, routines, traveling, and so much more. Her videos are so well edited and put together: pleasing to watch!
5. KOZE
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCh2_ulpQc_57Tcf49eSEmHA
KOZE is Kalyn Nicholson's second channel, but I think it has valuable content in addition to her main channel. Here, Kalyn has recently been posting short "daily brews" in which she talks about a topic candidly. These videos are less edited and more about deeper concepts, like self love and emotional maintenance.
6. Sedona Christina
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCM6cN45p-QTDRwVPVPRpfYQ
Sedona Christina is a channel focused around intentional living, including videos about zero waste living, veganism, and self care. Christine is such a pleasant person to listen to. It is quite obvious that she is passionate about what she talks about and I really appreciate how much she loves what she does. If you are interested in environmentalism and lessening your physical impact as a human, this is a great channel to start with.
7. Andrew Kirby
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8JNIm02zw8h_3NBrP_zsZA
Andrew Kirby is a bit different. He is more focused on optimizing your daily routines and habits for success. He also posts a lot about stoicism, as this is his life philosophy. I'm not super into stoicism but I feel like I learn a lot from his videos about what works and what doesn't when it comes to habits and keeping your shit together.
8. Thomas Frank
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCG-KntY7aVnIGXYEBQvmBAQ
Thomas Frank's channel basically holds everything you ever need to know to be an effective student. He posts tips about studying, being successful in college, and getting jobs. If you are looking to improve your academic or work life, Thomas's channel is the best place to go on Youtube.
9. Nathaniel Drew
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrdWRLq10OHuy7HmSckV3Vg
Nathaniel Drew is another interesting one. He typically challenges himself to change something about his routine for a period of time and documents what happens. The video I first found was titled "Meditating One Hour A Day Is Changing My Life" and I found it so inspiring. He really shows what can happen if you try to change your behavior in the form of habits.
10. TED and TEDx
https://www.youtube.com/user/TEDtalksDirector
Called me old fashioned but I think we all can learn a lot from simple TED talks! There's so many on psychology, science, and just people's own human experiences that can be motivational and inspiring. So much information to take in... TED talks can be so underrated.
