"If there’s one habit that I developed during the pandemic that I will never let go of, it’s the hot-girl-walk-and-podcast combo. No other practice is guaranteed to make me feel as inspired, productive, and–well–hot as prancing around my neighborhood while the sun is shining and a podcast is playing. Whether I’m tuning into a casual, chatty podcast, or taking mental notes from a deep dive with an expert, a great podcast is the key to getting me out the door and moving. Bonus points for hour-long episodes that cause me to wander to a new coffee shop or complete the whole two-mile loop of the park in my neighborhood.
turns out, you don't have to spend all of your free time cleaning
If you love a stroll-plus-podcast moment as much as I do, we have you covered. On The Everygirl Podcast, we discuss everything from manifestation to finances to health: there’s a little bit of something for every hot girl walker. Here are five podcast episodes so good, your life will feel transformed by the end of your walk.
1. Listen to This if You’re Tired of Waiting To Change Your Life: Brianna Wiest Part 2
Best-selling author and queen of the inner glow-up, Brianna Wiest is back for a raw and radically honest convo about what it actually takes to create a life you’re proud of—not just one that looks good from the outside. Josie and Brianna chat about: Why waiting until you’re “ready” is a trap; how to tell if you’re on the right path or just stuck in a loop; why changing your mind is not failure, it’s freedom; how to stop outsourcing your intuition and finally trust yourself; and what true success actually feels like (and why it’s like adding another leg to a table). It’s time to stop sitting in the waiting room of your own life–this episode is your sign to stop saving the good wine or fancy china, and start living your life now.
Listen if: You’re prioritizing joy over everything else this summer.
2. Summer Glow-Up Series: How to Transform Your Morning Routine (And How It’ll Change Your Life)
You’ve heard it before: wake up early, drink lemon water, do a 30-step routine before 7 a.m…. but what if your mornings aren’t about becoming “that girl,” and instead about becoming YOUR best self? Josie breaks down the psychology and science of why your first hour of the day sets the tone for your brain, hormones, and mood, and why your morning routine is a powerful self-worth practice (whether or not you’re aware of it). We’ll talk about how to become a morning person, the “Holy Trinity” you need in your mornings, and how to build a glow-up checklist with you in mind. Plus, Josie’s non-negotiable rituals, the morning mistake she had to unlearn, iPhone hacks, and why your routine should probably look different every single day.
Listen if: You’re sick of rushing to get ready or scrolling on your phone in bed.

Katie Austin is a fitness icon and featured Sports Illustrated model. In this refreshingly real conversation, Katie opens up like never before about the insecurities she struggled with growing up and how she learned to see fitness as a way to fuel joy, not punishment. This episode covers: What to do when you’re lacking motivation to work out, how long you actually need to exercise to get real results, Katie’s protein routines and hacks, and the surprising shift in mindset that transformed her confidence and career. Katie is rewriting the wellness rules so you not only actually love your body more, but can make the most of your entire life.

4. Summer Glow-Up Series: 3 Steps To Embody “It-Girl” Energy (The Psychology of Becoming Magnetic)
In this solo episode, Josie dives into It-Girl Energy—what it really means to be magnetic and fully confident. From the psychology of visibility and the power of taking up space, to cognitive biases you can use to hack confidence (hello, Spotlight Effect), this episode is your blueprint for shedding self-doubt and stepping into your best self. You’ll learn how to stop saying “I think…” before your ideas, how to retrain your brain for confidence, and why your energy—not your outfit or your body type—is what makes you unforgettable. This episode will teach you how to embody main-character energy so deeply that the universe literally reorients itself around you.
Listen if: You’re ready to become “that girl” this summer.
5. How to Radically Transform Your Life, with Julia Haart of “My Unorthodox Life”
If you’ve ever felt stuck in a life that doesn’t reflect who you really are or if you’ve ever wondered if it’s “too late” to start over, this episode is for you. In this raw and wildly inspiring conversation, Josie sits down with Julia Haart, star of My Unorthodox Life and fashion powerhouse, to unpack her journey from growing up in a suppressive ultra-Orthodox Jewish community to becoming a hugely successful fashion entrepreneur and global advocate for women’s freedom. They get real about the courage it takes to walk away from the only life you’ve ever known, how to reclaim your voice after being silenced, and what confidence actually looks like when you’ve had to rebuild it from the ground up. You’ll hear: Julia’s incredible story, how she completely transformed ingrained beliefs to transform her life, and her unfiltered take on religion, sexuality, and success. This one is a must-listen for anyone craving a reset, a reminder of their power, or proof that it’s never too late to rewrite your story.
Listen if: You have ingrained beliefs that are keeping you small.
