Podcasts to keep you motivated

Looking for something ‘heartier’ to listen to on your commute to work, morning walk or weights session? Maybe you’re looking to make some changes to your life, and need some practical advice and direction? Whatever your needs are, we’re sure you’ll enjoy listening to one or more of these seven motivational podcasts, hand selected by us!


  1. Crappy to Happy

Category: Fitness and Nutrition Episode length: 30-50 minutes

We absolutely love this podcast from Cass Dunn, a clinical psychologist. Cass teams up with Tiff Hall (AKA the awesome, hilarious trainer from The Biggest Loser and Tiff XO) and a range of guest speakers like Turia Pitt to have REAL conversations about motivation, work-life balance, perfectionism, self-esteem, nutrition, exercise and everything in between! Cass advertises her podcasts as sharing practical, meaningful ways to overcome your personal barriers and feel happier, more energetic, and more confident. So, if you’re looking for short, sharp and relatable advice, with a good dose of humor, make sure you subscribe!

4. Motivational Minute

Category: Self Help Episode length: 60 seconds

Are you short on time? Can you only fit one small, yet meaningful change into your life at a time? This podcast is PERFECT for you!

6. Smiling Minds

Category: This is actually an App – find in the App store! Episode length: Tracks are usually 3-15 minutes in length.

Guided meditation may not be ‘directly’ motivational. However, spending some time each day to clear your mind of stress may help to make room for positive thoughts and actions! Smiling Minds is an Australian non-for-profit organisation, and their app (free to download from the app store) has been developed by psychologists. The app has a range of mindfulness programs for adults, young adults, children, parents, teachers, and for the workplace, so whatever your needs are, it has you covered.
