Holiday headphones: 7 Inspiring podcasts for conscious living

Road trips, flights home, or just chilling by the beach - holidays are podcast prime-time.

Here are some of my fave mindful pod's promoting conscious living.

Better health for you, and the planet 

Low Tox Life

More than just a podcast, Low Tox Life is really a movement and a community. Australian host Alexx Stuart has some great conversations with experts covering everything from nutrition and food, to gut health, hormones, hidden toxins (like candles!), responsible businesses and change makers.

And if you get a little bit addicted to this one there are also multiple online courses to help us live cleaner, healthier, low-tox lives.

All your wellness topics in one place, including inspiring entrepreneurs and how to reduce your enviro impact.

Again, this podcast is part of a bigger wellness hub if you want to deep-dive.

Live Planted

Practical vegan living, with so much more - an awesome one even for the non-plant-based! 

Host - and enthusiastic thrifter! - Alyssa shares her tips and interviews some great eco influencers and experts on living a lower-impact life. 

Think food choices, reducing waste and toxins, mental health and wellbeing, and slowing consumption.

It may just encourage you to eat more plants too...

Ethical and sustainable fashion

Vogue Australia's sustainability editor Clare Press is behind this one, so you know there are going to be some great questions and awesome guests!

This podcast is choc-full of inspiring responsible business owners shaking up their niche industries and overall working towards fairer, lower-impact fashion. 

Inspiring conversations

Conversations with extraordinary people. Just binge this one if you haven't already!

These are some amazing conversations, usually in front of a live audience, with the likes of former Australian Greens Party leader and long-time environmental activist Bob Brown, to OzHarvest founder Ronnie Kahn and On Being podcasting legend Krista Tippett.

Green Dreamer host Kaméa Chayne

This is high on my list this holiday season as I only just discovered it - and it's aimed at eco creatives!

Think conversations with zero waste queen Bea Johnson, to tackling food waste and questions like why sustainability doesn't make headlines in mainstream media.
