The best podcasts for uplifting, showcasing and supporting female solopreneurs.

Who am I?

I believe that women are changemakers. I've dedicated my work as a productivity coach to uplifting female solopreneurs who've had the guts to build something meaningful. Often doing so after going through something hard, like cancer, divorce or the loss of a partner. I know the path because I am living it. I show up daily not because it's easy, but because it matters. I want every woman walking this road to know she is not alone. This playlist is personal. I created it because I know what it feels like to need a little boost—a reminder that what you’re building has value and that your voice is worth hearing. I’ve spent over a decade interviewing groovy thought leaders and small business owners on my podcast, Gratitude Geek, and I’ve learned this: stories heal. They inspire. They connect. That’s what this playlist is about—highlighting podcasts that tell real stories from real women doing the work.

My Show

What is my podcast about and/or how does it relate to the playlist topic you chose?

Gratitude Geek is where I have candid conversations with solopreneurs and experts about small business strategy, productivity, and gratitude. It’s not fluff—it’s real, tactical, and heart-centered. The episodes often come out of my own lived experience or what I see my clients facing. And yes, we talk tools like Canva and ChatGPT, but we also talk about showing up when life gets messy. Because business doesn’t happen in a vacuum.

What is my podcast playlist about?

This playlist, "The Best Podcasts for Uplifting, Showcasing and Supporting Female Solopreneurs", is a curated collection of shows that do what I aim to do every week—amplify women’s voices, share practical wisdom, and celebrate women building businesses on their own terms. Whether you're looking for inspiration, insight, or just a reminder that someone out there gets it, these podcasts are for you. They’re for us.

The podcasts I picked and why

1. Feminist Founders: Building Profitable People-First Businesses

Why this podcast?

I added "Feminist Founders: Building Profitable People-First Businesses" because it speaks my language—no hustle culture, no BS, just real talk about building a business that centers people and purpose without sacrificing profit. It’s empowering, values-driven, and exactly the kind of content I want more women solopreneurs to hear.

You are a business owner who wants to prioritize people and planet over profits (without sacrificing success). That can feel lonely—but you are not alone! Join host Becky Mollenkamp for in-depth conversations with experts and other founders about how to build a more equitable world through entrepreneurship. It’s time to change the business landscape for good!

2. Here's What I Learned: Ditching Biz-as-Usual for Values, Freedom, and Doing It Your Way

Why this podcast?

I chose "Here's What I Learned"because Jacki Hayes doesn’t just talk about values—she lives them. Her honest, reflective take on ditching business-as-usual resonates with women like me who are done with playing by someone else’s rules. She reminds us that freedom, authenticity, and alignment are possible in business. This show is a breath of fresh air for solopreneurs carving their own path.

4. Mindset Unlimited: Tips, Tools, and Inspiration for Women Leaders

Why this podcast?

I chose "Mindset Unlimited" because mindset work is the foundation for everything—especially for high-achieving women carrying invisible weight. This podcast helps unravel the limitations we’ve been conditioned to believe and reconnects us to our inner wisdom. It’s deeply grounding, insightful, and empowering. Every episode feels like a reset button for the soul.

Your Mindset Unlimited is a podcast for socially conscious women leaders who are on a journey to release learned limitations and live a more present, intentional, and enjoyable life.

In this podcast you'll find tips, tools, and inspiration to help you shift the patterns that create imbalances in the world starting with the internalized patterns that limit us in our own lives. Engaging these limiting mindsets and habits not only expands the impact of our work in the world but also creates more joyful relationships in all areas of our life.

Some of the topics you'll find here are: finding fulfillment, habit shifting, motivation, time management, money mindset, stress management, impostor syndrome, productivity, work/life balance, communication, boundaries, leadership, social activism, burnout, building a business, motherhood, and more.

Your Host, Valerie Friedlander, is an ICF certified coach, sociologist, intersectional feminist, artist, business owner, and mom. Based in Chicago and supporting clients world-wide, she helps high-achieving, multi-passionate women leaders create success on their own terms, honoring all aspects of their life.
