Listening to podcasts have become a new form of self-care for me. I’m always on the move and being able to plug in and listen to some dope podcasts gives me a sense of peace and calm no matter where I am. I listen to a variety of podcasts that range from mental health and wellness, pop-culture, business, and politics. Here is a list of my favorites:
