In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, I wanted to shine a light on the incredible Latina podcast hosts that I’ve been following. These podcasts have been a source of career advice, entrepreneurial tips, mental health support, and of course, a little bit of chisme that we all need sometimes. Through their stories, I’ve found encouragement, perspective, and a sense of community. Whether it’s a tough day or a moment of celebration, these Latina-led podcasts have been there for me in more ways than one.
As we celebrate, it’s also important to bring awareness to issues that affect our community. Latina Equal Pay Day falls on October 3rd, highlighting the ongoing struggle for equal pay—something that’s not a celebration but a reminder of the work still to be done. These Latina hosts use their platforms to give us a voice and empower us to speak up and ask for what we deserve.
Here’s a breakdown of the podcasts I’m currently loving, categorized by theme—each bringing something different to the table but all full of wisdom, inspiration, and realness.
