So as many of you know, I love a good podcast. I started listening to podcasts last year for a couple of reasons: 1. To tune out any noise around me, and 2. To expand my mind. The events of last year allowed me to change perspective, which opened me up the world of podcasts. Since then, my weekly listens of podcasts has only grown. In fact compared to the few I mentioned in this blog post, I have so many more that I listen to. So here is a list of podcasts I currently listen to throughout the week. I’m sure you’ll find something you like!
