A lot has happened in 2019. It has been a year full of struggles, growth, experiences, and new opportunities. Along with all of that, 2019 has also brought to life a different kind of entertainment: the podcast.

I have never really listened to podcasts until this year, and I am SO happy that I discovered how amazing they are when I did. There are so many different kinds of podcasts out there that can fit all of my moods. There's funny, crime, thrillers, tear-jerkers, ones for the religious, and ones for dirty minds. Some of my favorite podcasts, however, fall into the category of inspirational.

As I look forward to the New Year, I know I have a lot of personal goals I am going to set for myself, as do many other people. Whether you are trying to become more focused in school or work, hit the gym a little more, eat healthier, or improve any part of your life, listening to an inspiring and motivating podcast is the perfect way to start off 2020.

Here is a list of 10 of the most motivational and inspiring podcasts I have ever listened to, and plan to continue to listen to as we head into the new decade.

1. "Inspire Nation"

This podcast features professional speakers who are very informed on topics from health and wellness, to spirituality, to wealth and money-management. The diverse speakers and wide array of topics make this podcast a go-to for those who want to take charge of their lives.

2. "How I Built This with Guy Raz" by NPR

Whether you're an aspiring innovator, entrepreneur, idealist, or none of the above, "How I Built This with Guy Raz" is sure to motivate anyone as it takes the listener behind the scenes into some of the biggest companies in the world and explains how they came to be. This series features innovators from all kinds of different companies telling their stories on how they came to be where they are today.

3. "Where There's Smoke" by Brett Gajda

"Where There's Smoke" is hosted by Brett Gajda, who is one of the most interesting people I have ever come across. He has been to every continent and seen countless things I cannot even imagine.

This London-based podcast talks about all things feminism, including the insecurities, hypocrisies and fears of the principles. We all have our beliefs and we should stand for them, even if sometimes we can get a bit shaky.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
