There are a number of daily habits that promote my productivity, especially my morning habits. Meditation, fitness, and reading are great tools to get me moving each day. However, there is one other tool I use to get myself motivated. YouTube! I’m dead serious. These seven YouTube channels have been so helpful in motivating my personal growth. I learn something new every single day.
I was recently asked about what Podcasts I listen to for inspiration, but I didn’t have many. Honestly, I just use YouTube for my inspo. Luckily for you podcast fans out there, a lot of the name I mention below have podcasts versions too.
While I list a few of my favorite episodes from each show, I would explore them for yourself. The channels below offer a lot of diversity and there is something for everyone.
Let’s Get Motivated!
Gabrielle Bernstein

Gabby Bernstein is one of my favorite spiritual teachers of all time. She is well known for leading the term “Spirit Junkie” with her amazing books that teach spiritual principals in a very modern way. Her YouTube Channel is the perfect place to receive 5-minute quick reminders on ways to incorporate things like meditation and love into our daily lives.

Where Gabby leads me spiritually, Marie is my go-to for developing my business. However, Marie is far from business only. Her YouTube Channel is incredible for any woman (or man) looking to find more confidence, be more productive, and create stronger relationships with those around you. Her interview guests include rock stars like Tim Ferriss, Brendon Burchard, and Brene Brown. Plus, she’s funny!

I enjoy his interviews with business giants, such as Jocko Willick and Arianna Huffington. He chats about a wide variety of topics from his favorite gifts under $100 to his tips for success.
Some episodes for you:

Own: Super Soul Sessions
Of course I am going to tell you to check out Oprah’s YouTube Channel! While the channel has a variety of different series, my favorite is the Super Soul Sessions. This is a magical place to get inspiration from the Queen herself or from her entourage of other spiritual leaders. Her group is impressive, including Gabby, Marie, Glennon Doyle Melton, Echkart Tolle, Kris Carr, and so many more!
