1. Boss Up! Podcast – Lindsay Teague Moreno struts through your earbuds, grabs you by both shoulders, and tells you what your business needs to hear. “An original, authentic, experienced, and no BS business podcast for momtrepreneurs by Lindsay Teague Moreno.

2. Brilliant Business Moms – Beth Anne Schwamberger, a former pediatric RN turned brilliant business Mom herself, has created an Etsy shop full of e-resources. Her podcast features practical business advice with excellent tips for Etsy sellers in particular.
3. The Boss Mom Podcast – It’s hard for me to even type this without tearing up a little. As a newly minted Mama in 2016, I emerged from the “4th trimester” along with the daffodils and tulips that line Chicago’s sidewalks every spring. I remember strolling my new baby all over Lakeview, emerging from a mental and actual winter. And I took Dana with us on many, many of those walks…in my earbuds. This is the podcast that opened my eyes to a future where I could have a career and precious time with my baby. I’m forever grateful I found it, and I still shout “YASSS!” when I listen to a new episode.
4. CEO Mom Talk – Kristie is a homeschooling boss Mom who coaches other women to build profitable blogs and businesses, even if you don’t sell a thing. Her podcast is perfect for blogging Moms who want to monetize or uplevel and turn their blog into a fulfilling (and money making) career.
5. The Coffee + Crumbs Podcast – This one isn’t about biz but it deserves a mention. Coffee + Crumbs feels like a lunch date with best friends, and these Mamas explore what it means to create art and humans. Topics cover everything from Mom uniforms to date night to interviews with female business owners also raising their families. In the sometimes isolating roles of Mom and entrepreneur, this podcast feels like your girlfriends showing up with hot coffee and an offer to watch the kids while you take a minute for yourself.

Welcome to the Power Squad Project with Ashleigh Blatt.
Podcasts for Business Owners
10. Being Boss Podcast – What happens when two majorly successful entrepreneurs get together to give you real talk about mindset, business boundaries, marketing on ethically-questionable huuuuuge social media platforms, and running your creative business like the boss you are? This podcast. Emily and Kathleen consistently deliver killer advice, interviews, and sometimes permission to own your biz like, you, well, own it.
11. Bosses + Booze Masterclasses – Meghan Maydel invites you to drinks with every major female entrepreneur you’ve ever Instagram stalked. You in? Me too.
12. Business, Life & Joy with Shunta Grant – Shunta is the brilliant attorney-turned maven behind Because of Zoey (cutest hairbows ever) and the Peace Pace Progress course. She “teaches entrepreneurs how to maximize their most limited resource, time, and then how to use that time most effectively to grow an impactful business.” You’ll come away feeling super motivated, and ready to set your alarm a lot earlier.
13. Courage and Clarity – Steph Crowder of Fizzle hosts this excellent podcast that’s part big picture + mindset and part actionable, tactical steps you can take about that episodes topic. The first part (the courage) is all about being bold enough to have that idea in the first place. The second part (the clarity) is what makes it work. Too much clarity, and you forget the entire reason you’re doing your work. Too much courage, and you never get into the nitty-gritty of making your biz happen. Too much of this podcast, doesn’t actually exist and you should listen to every ep.
14. Do it Scared – Ruth Soukup wrote the book on blogging for profit and is the creator of Elite Blog Academy. If you blog for profit (or want to) you’ve probably heard of her. With her new podcast, she interviews other experts and shares her own heartfelt advice about overcoming obstacles to launch the business you dream of.
15. Don’t Keep Your Day Job – Even if you’ve never heard of Cathy Heller, you’ve probably heard her. Now, she uses her podcast to feature other women who crafted a life they love by ditching their day job. This podcast is inspirational and the interviewees read like a guest list for a Grammy’s after party.
16. Fueled With heart Podcast – Reina always leaves me feeling lighter and like the world is a better place. This is my go-to when I need a positivity boost, a mindset re-set, and a reminder of why running my own business is so important to me.

18. Law and Wit – It’s good to be legit. And Brittany Ratelle, ESQ makes it fun while we’re at it. She talks contracts, privacy policies (the dreaded GDPR), copyrights and copycats, plus brand strategy. It’s excellent and you’ll feel smarter when you listen.

22. The Strategy Hour – This show by Abagail and Emylee of Think Creative Collective is just as much a powerhouse as their business is. Like, it’s almost overwhelming how flipping useful and actionable it is. Just like I do on their website, I listen to this podcast while nodding vigorously and trying to implement everything all at once. They interview what seems like every superstar of the creative entrepreneur world. And they don’t let them get away without sharing tips and strategies that will rock your business.

Podcasts for Mompreneurs with Creative Businesses
25. Brands That Book – hosted by Davey Jones, co-founder of Rising Tide Society, not the mythical pirate. This show features interviews with creative, service-based entrepreneurs who share their greatest advice for booking more quality clients and building your brand. It’s like the podcast equivalent of #TuesdaysTogether and every episode is delightful.
26. Creative Class – This show is the best place to start if you want to launch a freelancing career. “If you’re like most freelancers, it’s the business stuff that keeps you awake at night, not the actual writing, programming or designing. That’s where the Creative Class podcast comes in.” This podcast is so good I bought the course as soon as the last season ended, and it’s the best investment I’ve made in my business to date.
27. Ellechat Podcast – Ellechats are Lauren’s weekly in-depth webinars that feel like a group coaching session is warming your heart and toasting your earbuds. I cannot take notes fast enough when I watch one. Lauren recently started releasing them in podcast format too. Excellent for designers, like Lauren, but also for any small business owners and solopreneurs.
28. The Creative Empire Podcast – Wanna know how I have all these podcasts in my Overcast rolodex? I subscribe to them after Reina Pomeroy (Reina and Co.) and Cristina Scalera (The Contract Shop) inevitably interview them on this show. It’s like a who’s who of the creative world.

Mariah Coz and Megan Minns share honest, in-depth details about everything it takes to build, launch, and profit from an online course. It’s the only one of its kind, and it’s so good there’s no competition anyway.
Podcasts for Marketing Mompreneurs
32. Online Marketing Made Easy with Amy Porterfield – It’s Amy Freakin’ Porterfield, need I go on? Well, you know me, I will. She didn’t invent online marketing, but she’s pretty much perfected it. Interviews with A-listers like Marie Forleo and Russell Brunson, heartfelt discussion about Amy’s own business journey, and pro advice with actionable steps abound in every episode.
33. The Goal Digger Podcast – Jenna Kutcher describes her podcast as “the live-workshop style business podcast for creative girl bosses” but I had to include it in marketing because those are always the best episodes of this podcast! No surprise there, Jenna’s a marketing guru.
34. The Influencer Podcast – Julie Solomon is a NYT bestselling publicist with a resume that would make Samantha Jones jealous. She explores how the top influencers, bloggers and elite marketers make their magic happen (hint, it’s hard work.) If you want to leverage your audience in a meaningful way, this is a must-listen!
35. The Simple Pin Podcast – Kate Ahl, Pinterest manager & consultant, talks strategy and solid advice without “crazy hacks to ‘game the system’ (ugh.) She interviews people using Pinterest in creative and productive ways, and this is another one you’ll want to enjoy with your pen and paper handy.
How to Possibly Listen to This Many Awesome Podcasts for Mompreneurs
Did you know that Podcast listeners subscribe to an average of 6 shows and that 64% of the US population is familiar with the term “podcasting”?
I’m willing to bet that number is a lot higher for Mompreneurs.
While we nurture our babies (business and human), we become experts at switching between both roles.
And you already know that sometimes we do multitask, even when we commit to being fully present in our families and our businesses.
Ideal times:
Every time we load the dishwasher. Pop in the earbuds and you’re also attending a masterclass on brand voice.
Walking the dog. I do enjoy the occasional unplugged walk. But my girl goes out 3 times a day, and the circus monkeys come along for a few of those strolls. My podcasts come too, and no one minds the fresh air or time to think.
Carpool. You can listen to the same 5 songs on every single radio station, or you can laugh appreciatively while a mom boss shares just what her “work/life balance” really looks like.
Laundry. Can we even determine with manmade metrics how much better baby sock matching gets when you’ve got sweet, sweet business strategy tactics filling your ears? Science has not come that far.
If there’s a medium more perfectly made for Moms, I don’t know what it is.
So tell me – what are YOUR must-hear podcasts? Let me know in the comments below!
