6 great podcasts for female business owners to binge in 2023
With a background in marketing and photography, I am obsessed with all things content. I’m a sucker for a listicle or a carousel and I’m subscribed to pretty much every content platform there is. You name it, I’ve got the app.
However, there is also some really rubbish content out there nowadays. Everyone and their Nan has a podcast, blog or Patreon and it’s getting harder and harder to know what’s actually worth consuming.
As someone who listens to podcasts daily, here are my recommendations for the ones that are worth listening to for female creative businesses.
1. The content collective podcast
This brilliant podcast is a no nonsense guide for creative souls looking to turn their passion to profit by knowing how to show up online.
Lauren discusses everything from pivoting in your career and following your passion, how to show up when the odds feel stacked against you, nailing your social media strategy and everything in between.
What I love about this podcast is that it makes content creation feel so achievable for small business owners; Lauren’s tone of voice is friendly rather than pushy, and it makes you feel empowered with the knowledge you need to show up online.
Another idea is a brilliant podcast supporting photographers, creatives & entrepreneurs who want to level up. It features a range of guests from a number of backgrounds and industries, which will no doubt make you feel inspired in your own creative business. I love the broad range of inspiring guests and the casual conversations - the production level is 10/10 but each interview feels intimate and authentic .
I’ve always had a bit of a girl crush on Katy Leeson - the hugely successful ex-managing director of Social Chain. Not only is Katy a hugely inspiring leader, but she is down to earth and honest about the challenges she has faced on her journey to success. She has some impressive guests from big brands to solopreneurs so you can expect a broad variety of experience.
I’m pretty sure Cat has stopped producing this podcast, but there is a good catalogue of episodes you can go back and listen to if you need some inspiration. With guests from an array of creative industries such as digital marketing, design, weddings and more, Cat’s podcast is both thoughtful and thought-provoking.
Let’s shoot together is a podcast by Anna, a brand photographer based in Edinburgh. Anna’s approach is gentle and kind, and whilst the content is primarily aimed at photographers, I’m confident there are nuggets of wisdom to be found whatever industry you’re in.
Grow with soul is described as a “work in life” podcast which focuses on slow living and making your career and life work for you. Although Grow With Soul has now ended, there’s a back catalogue of brilliant solo and interview episodes to binge.
