When I’m not creating new CCS sequences or joining you for our scheduled rest/yoga day each week, I like to walk/run through the canyons near my house listening to podcasts. I also fit them in when I’m grocery shopping or in the car. Here are a few podcasts I’m loving lately and wanted to share.

13 Minutes to the Moon

I’ve never felt so small or so connected to this planet after listening to 13 Minutes to the Moon. It’s mind-blowing and astronauts are just SO freaking badass.

Second Life

Who What Wear Co-Founder, Hillary Kerr’s podcast, Second Life highlights successful women who’ve made career changes and fearlessly mastered the pivot at every age.

That Thing About Pam

My friend Calma introduced me to Dateline’s podcast, That Thing About Pam and the subject is dark but I was shocked, laughed out loud, and loved Keith Morrison as the narrator.

Science VS

Whenever I start to feel myself being influenced by a fad or a trend in the wellness sphere, Science VS is always there to bring me back down to fact-based Earth! Their episodes about Fasting Diets and Fertility both drew me in and gave new insights on the topics. The podcast definitely has a pop science vibe overall, but that keeps me awake, alert and interested in listening more.

The goop Podcast

Have you guys watched The Politician on Netflix? Gwyneth Paltrow has gotten a lot of flak over the years for unusual wellness advice and generally being out of touch with reality, but her role in The Politician makes me think she’s kind of in on the joke. After watching, I decided to give her goop podcast a chance. She has covered some fascinating topics with interesting guests (Peggy Orenstein’s episode is worth a listen), and at 45 minutes to an hour each they’re the perfect length for a low and slow cardio session.

TEDTalks Health

It’s both my passion and my career to stay up to date on what’s new in fitness and health science, so it makes sense that I love this Ted Talk podcast. TEDTalks Health is less about fitness, and more pertaining to overall mental and physical health. As each expert discusses medical breakthroughs, wellness habits and trends, or developments in health sciences I find my walk passing by quicker because I’m listening so intently.
