Four Podcasts Every Female Founder Should Add to Her Queue
I'm a true crime podcast lover at heart.
But when I'm in business mode, podcasts become something else entirely.
They're a source of inspiration when motivation feels low. A confidence boost when I'm second-guessing myself. A reminder that every successful founder has faced challenges, setbacks and moments of uncertainty along the way.
As a branding studio owner, I spend a lot of time helping founders uncover their ideas, build their brands and share their stories. So naturally, I'm drawn to podcasts that offer honest conversations, fresh perspectives and practical insights from women doing incredible things in business.
If you're looking for your next listen, these are four podcasts I find myself coming back to again and again.
If you're a small business owner, this is one of those podcasts that might quickly become part of your weekly routine.
1. My Daily Business
Hosted by business coach Fiona Killackey, My Daily Business blends practical business advice with insightful interviews from some of Australia's most recognised brands and founders.
What makes this podcast particularly valuable is its balance. Some episodes are short, actionable coaching sessions that help you tackle specific business challenges. Others are in-depth conversations that offer a behind-the-scenes look at how successful businesses have grown and evolved.
With hundreds of episodes available, there's something relevant whether you're in your first year of business or preparing for your next stage of growth.

Insights from Australian business owners and brands
Honest conversations about growth, systems and sustainability

2. CEO Yourself
If you've ever wondered how successful founders think, communicate and lead, CEO Yourself offers a fascinating glimpse behind the curtain.
Hosted by Hermione Olivia, each episode explores a specific topic through conversations with inspiring female entrepreneurs and business leaders.
One of the reasons this podcast stands out is its focus. Rather than covering everything at once, each episode dives deeply into a single idea, allowing listeners to walk away with tangible insights and a new perspective.
The storytelling episode featuring Olivia Ferdi <link> is a standout, as she reflects on the challenges, lessons, and moments of naivety that ultimately contributed to her brand’s success. It’s packed with practical insights and inspiration, and offers valuable takeaways for founders, leaders, and anyone looking to build something meaningful.

3. Fine Form
Running a business isn't just about strategy and growth.
It's also about navigating life alongside it.
Hosted by Rebecca, Fine Form explores the realities of modern entrepreneurship through conversations with women who are leading, creating and building success on their own terms.
The discussions cover everything from work-life balance and motherhood to ambition, identity and resilience.
What I appreciate most about this podcast is its honesty. These aren't polished success stories. They're real conversations about what it takes to build a business while also managing the complexities of everyday life.
It's a refreshing reminder that there isn't one definition of success and no single way to build a meaningful career.

4. Process The Podcast
Creativity can often feel mysterious from the outside, but Process The Podcast pulls back the curtain.
Hosted by Arielle, the podcast features conversations with creatives, founders and industry leaders across a wide range of disciplines.
Instead of focusing solely on outcomes, the conversations explore how ideas develop, how creative work evolves and what happens behind the scenes before something successful comes to life.
As someone who spends a lot of time immersed in creative thinking and brand strategy, I find this podcast endlessly inspiring.
Listening to how other people approach their craft often sparks new ideas and reminds me that there are countless ways to solve a problem, tell a story or bring a vision to life.

Podcasts Are Such a Powerful Tool for Founders
One of the biggest challenges of being a founder is that it can feel isolating at times.
I’ve realised over time that podcasts have a way of changing that.
There are so many incredible podcasts created by and for women in business, but these four remain some of my favourites.
They've helped me think differently, build confidence, strengthen my business and stay inspired through every stage of entrepreneurship.
Whether you're building a brand, launching a business or navigating your next season of growth, I hope they do the same for you.
And if you have a favourite business podcast that isn't on this list, I'd genuinely love to hear about it (there's always room for one more episode in the queue.)
