DISCOVERING JUST THE PERFECT PODCAST FOR ME
A chance to see life through other people's perspectives, learn and unwind? What is there not to love about that? I have always been a lover of podcasts but then, I haven't been able to find the right one for me. Or maybe I didn't search well enough, yeah? I randomly go to the Spotify application and surf the podcast section and just select a random podcaster and listen to one or two episodes. I don't do it often, and honestly, I think it was just lack of direction. I needed just a chat session with @olujay about podcasts to get that direction I have been looking for. He recommended two podcasters to me and I promised to check them out. By the way, I meant it!
I checked out one of the podcasts that was recommended to me today and I was so glued that I finished about three episodes. Even when I went out and got busy, I still plugged in my earphones and I listened on. I knew from today that podcasts would be my thing for a very long time and I also realized that I love listening when I am engaged in one task or the other. Also, it could be a good substitute for music sometimes. I had a better day today because I spent my morning listening while I, it was very therapeutic and it is definitely going to be regular routine for me from now on.
I think my most favourite thing about podcasts is that it can be a form of free therapy. It is very beautiful to hear strangers talk about something you can relate to and give you clarity about some things, or even heal you from some traumas as the case may be. There are some things that can be twisted in your head and hearing it from another person's point of view is all you need to straighten out your thoughts. I like that some podcasters do so much research and share their knowledge to their listeners. When you hear the thought process of some people, you will be so amazed and I always look forward to discovering how beautiful the human mind actually works.
Apart from all these, podcasts are very informative, educative and can contribute to a positive shift of mindset. There are so many brilliant minds out there and from the comfort of wherever I am, I can get to listen to them and pick out useful points that will help me in so many ways. As time goes on, I know I will still discover more podcasters that will touch topics that will interest me and allign with my goals and also contribute to my growth. I hope I don't get too obsessed and if I do, it will be a good kind of obsession, won't it?
Thanks for reading ❤️

Woah. Three episodes in one go! You sure got sucked in quickly enough. And you're right: podcasts can be free therapy at your fingertips. I wonder what the second podcast suggestion could be. Do get obsessed, if you will. Would be a good one. Perhaps we'll see you even become a podcaster someday.
Yeahh, I was so glued and it felt really good.
Haha, thank you!
Of course, that is not impossible and Imagining it now, it will be very fascinating.
Podcasts are great and therapeutic, as you have mentioned. I know about Jay shetty, although for me, I have not really listened much to his podcast.
the funny thing is, I spend more time listening to podcast than the time I actually spend listening to music itself. To me, I get to connect to an inside level when getting some tips and lessons that I resonate with.
I have known Jay shetty from way back and hearing that he does podcasts was really fascinating to me and I had to go check it out.
Please try and love music too🤲 It can be very therapeutic as well, trust me.
Yeah I am a music fan but lately, not as much.
Yeah I also think it’s beautiful. It’s really amazing how someone could share the same thoughts about the same thing. They relate to certain things the same way you do. It’s beautiful. That’s what makes podcasts really interesting.
Yess, totally agree! I look forward to it every single time.
