Books and Podcasts Worth Your Time

Happy day 5 of the 12 days of CHRISelle!

As you guys know, I LOVE reading, audiobooks, and podcasts. I love sharing what I’ve been reading and listening to with you all so I wanted to check in and let you know what’s actually worth the time right now (in my opinion). It dawned on me the other day that I haven’t written an updated post about what I’m into in a while, so I thought now would be the perfect opportunity to do so! With the holiday break coming up, now’s the time to get a checklist going of all the things you want to listen to and read.

Although it’s much harder for me to find quiet time to read a book, you can always one by my bedside! I love to read when I travel for work, but since I haven’t traveled in a while, audiobooks and podcasts make for a great alternative. And no matter how busy I am, something about holding a physical book inspires me so much. Here are my top must-read books at the moment:

Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead by Sheryl Sandberg 

Postnatal Depletion Cure by Oscar Serrallach 

This is How it Always Is by Laurie Frankel 

Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens

I Am Malala by Malala Yousafzai

American Like Me by America Ferrera

And thanks to my hour-long commute to and from the office, next up, we have a long list of podcasts I’ve been obsessing over nonstop. Each podcast inspires me to become a better person for different reasons, to think outside the box, and also motivates me in both my personal and work life. My list below is a mix of self-help, interviews and biographies that all create deep thought and a great mental headspace for me.
