We’re living in the age of information (too much information if you ask me), available to us at the pulse of our fingertips. Between work, family, and everything else on our plates, who has time to sift through countless hours of content to find the gems or the right voices to guide your life and career journey. It’s overwhelming. Well, don’t fret. That’s where we come in.
The podcast space has become a goldmine for Black women seeking authentic conversations about money, entrepreneurship, and building generational wealth. These aren’t your typical shows filled with jargon and outdated advice (we’ve had enough of those, tbh). These are real women having real conversations about the challenges and triumphs of building freedom — whatever that looks like to you (career, financial, relationship) — while navigating a world that wasn’t always designed for our success.
Whether you’re looking to launch your first business, master your budget, scale to seven figures, or heck, even just survive as a Black woman living in America these 10 podcasts deserve a spot on your regular rotation.
She’s So Lucky
This show is at the top of the list for a reason. Formerly known as Balanced Black Girl, Les Alfred’s podcast has evolved into a space where self-development feels real and attainable.

It’s the kind of podcast that reminds you growth is just as much about rest and clarity as it is about hustle.
