Forget overpriced therapists. Many of us can’t or won’t try therapy. It might feel funny to go and share your private thoughts with a stranger, or it is just simply too expensive.
Of course, there is a time and place for professional help, but there are ample opportunities out there to try and help you work things out yourself first.
The podcasts in this list cover many self-help topics. They will help you with practically anything, from dealing with anxiety, stress to finding happiness. Most of them are free, and you can listen to them when and where it suits you. So, what are you waiting for? Go and become the best version of yourself.
