HerMoney (you know we had to)
Hosted by Jean Chatzky
We may be a little biased here, but for the kind of straight-talk yet always-compassionate money advice that women need, there’s no better woman to learn from than our founder and CEO, Jean Chatzky. Each week, she introduces listeners to a powerful guest (including Amy Errett, Jessamyn Stanley, Tori Dunlap, Minda Harts, and many more.) She dives into hard-hitting insights in HerMoney’s famed “judgment-free zone,” and tackles listener questions in a compassionate and direct way, enabling women to navigate our finances with confidence. In each weekly episode (plus bonus Mailbags) you can count on the latest research, some good laughs, giveaways, and expert tips for how to better our financial futures.
She’s a 10 Times 5
Hosted by Laurie Reider-Jabbar and Lisa O’Coyne
This podcast, geared toward women from 40 to 60 years old, has no topics off-limits. They tackle relationships and intimacy, health and wellness, motherhood and household management, physiological changes and more, all with an eye towards helping women navigate their ‘second-acts.’ The variety of guests will help you rediscover your purpose, find your spark and feel empowered for the next phase of life.
Models That Eat
Hosted by Phoebe “Pojo” Joseph
There’s a stereotype about models that we all know too well: they don’t eat, and they aren’t foodies. This model-turned-host, Pojo, is setting out to change all that by interviewing models about their careers, their love of culinary feats (and feasts), and what really goes on behind the scenes in the fashion industry. Her mission is to normalize food and body image for all, including those who grace the runway.
Be Sexy Eat Plants
Hosted by Kristel de Groot
If you’ve been toying with the idea of going vegan, this is a podcast you’ll find enlightening. Kristel chats with vegan celebrities, musicians, entrepreneurs, athletes and other influencers to find out more about their journeys into veganism, their favorite recipes, and so much more. Her health guidelines are vetted by nutritionists, and the insightful Q&As reveal more about life than what we can find in the kitchen. Whether you’re fully vegan or a questioning carnivore, you won’t want to miss the discussion of a sexy plant-based life.

It’s a hilarious and inspiring listen that gives us a unique perspective on the interesting lives of professionals we might not meet at our local bar.
Stork’d
Hosted by Julia Karol
There’s no ‘right’ way to have a family. Some go the traditional nuclear route, while others become single parents. Others adopt. Many go through fertility issues, or choose surrogacy. In this podcast, families of all sizes, creations and journeys are validated and celebrated. Guests are interviewed in a storytelling format, and at the end of every episode, valuable and actionable resources are provided. This show gives a community and voice to all types of parents.
The Not So Simple Life
