Podcasts for Moms: Homemaking, Faith & Family Life

Sharing is caring!

Wether you’re looking for a podcast about raising kids, getting out of debt, living out your Christian faith, or learning a new homemaking skill, this list of podcasts for moms will have something for you.

I just started listening to podcasts just before the pandemic hit. I had been pretty old school up until then still listening to my cd’s from high school or my very limited iTunes library.

If I remember right, It was when we were trying to get out of debt the second time that I started searching for inspiration and tips that led me to the wonderful world of podcasts.

I love listening to a good podcast. It really does make cleaning the bathroom after three boys (who can’t seem to aim where they’re supposed to) not seem like such a terrible chore. So here we go, I hope you find something in this list that helps or encourages you.

New to Podcasts? Here’s How to Get Started

If you’re new to the podcast world, don’t worry, I was too not that long ago! The good news is, it’s super easy. You can listen to podcasts for free using apps like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, SiriusXM, or even just by going to the podcast’s website and pressing play.

I usually just pop in my wired earbuds or use a small bluetooth speaker and let it play while I’m doing dishes or folding a mountain of laundry. No fancy setup needed, just a phone and a few quiet minutes (which I know can be hard to come by, I get it!).

When I Actually Find Time to Listen

I know what you’re probably thinking—when in the world am I supposed to listen to a podcast?! 

I felt the same way at first. But I’ve found that squeezing in an episode during the ordinary parts of my day has actually made those tasks feel a little more enjoyable.

I listen while I’m making dinner and doing dishes, driving to pick up groceries, folding laundry, or even while taking a walk if I’m out by myself.

Basically anytime I’m doing something mindless, I’ll throw one on. It’s kind of like having a friend keep you company while you get stuff done.

Why Podcasts Are the Perfect Mom Companion

One of the reasons I love podcasts so much is because they’re kind of like mini life-coaching sessions you can squeeze into the random cracks of your day.

You can learn something new, feel encouraged, or just get a much-needed mental break when you need one.

Whether I’m looking for a quick tip on getting stains out of toddler clothes, need a little spiritual boost, or want to feel less alone in something I’m going through—there’s a podcast for that.

Some episodes have literally made me laugh out loud while folding towels, and others have given me practical wisdom I’ve carried with me for years. They meet you right where you’re at, and that’s what makes them such a gift in this season of life.

1. Simple Families with Denaye Barahona

Dr. Denaye Barahona, a mom of two with a Ph.D. in child development, shares practical advice for simplifying family life. She talks about everything from minimalism with kids and decluttering toys, to setting healthy boundaries and handling tough parenting moments. I love her seasonal gift guides and how real she is about motherhood.

2. Wellness Mama with Katie Wells

If you’re into natural wellness, this podcast is a gold mine. Katie Wells interviews doctors, researchers, and health experts on topics like functional medicine, gut health, and non-toxic living.

I’ll be honest, some episodes are way over my head, but I always come back to her show and blog when I’m researching a new natural remedy or trying to improve our family’s wellness routine.

If you have questions about a specific health topic and are looking for a natural remedy, The wellness mama podcast is a great resource and place to start.

​3. Homemaker Chic Podcast

Hosted by best friends Shaye Elliott and Angela Reed, this podcast feels like listening in on a cozy phone call.

They talk about homesteading, homeschooling, homemaking, and all the beautifully imperfect parts of motherhood, with lots of laughter and wine along the way. Their down-to-earth conversations are a breath of fresh air.

Each episode is about an hour long so I usually don’t catch everything they say, but since it’s more like listening to two besties chatting on the phone its an easy listen.

4. Simple Farmhouse Life with Lisa Bass

This is one of my all-time favorites! Lisa Bass is a homeschooling mom of eight, who shares everything from sourdough tips to home decor and natural living.

I’ve learned so much from her. Because of Lisa, my sourdough starter (which my husband jokingly calls our “fourth child”) has been going strong for six years now!

Trust me when I say you will be inspired and encouraged on your journey through motherhood and daily keeper of your home. I certainly have been.

5. The Bible Recap with Tara-Leigh Cobble

If you’re trying to read through the Bible and want help making sense of what you’re reading, this podcast is perfect.

Each episode is only eight to ten minutes long and gives an easy-to-understand breakdown of the day’s reading. I’m a few months behind on my chronological plan (who’s counting?), but this podcast has helped me so much.

6. Fearless with Cissie Graham Lynch

Cissie Graham Lynch doesn’t shy away from the tough stuff. She talks about cultural issues, biblical truth, and what it means to live fearlessly for Christ in today’s world.

Some episodes are hard-hitting, but they always leave me thinking and reflecting on how I’m raising my kids in light of God’s Word.

Fair warning: This podcast can get controversial and political at times.

7. The Rachel Cruze Show

Rachel Cruze (yes, Dave Ramsey’s daughter!) offers relatable financial advice for families.

She talks about saving money, budgeting, getting out of debt, and how to live within your means. My husband and I follow the Ramsey principles, and thanks to them we now live a debt free life!

I have read Rachel’s and Dave’s books, and I highly recommend them to anyone feeling overwhelmed by their finances.

Podcasts That Are On My List to Listen to Next

Okay, so I haven’t listened to these next ones yet, but they’ve been recommended to me by other moms I trust, and they are totally up my alley.

If you’re already familiar with the ones I’ve shared above and want to try something new, here are a few more podcasts for moms that are on my list to check out next:

8. Risen Motherhood Podcast

This one has been on my radar for a while now! It’s hosted by Emily Jensen and Laura Wifler, two Christian moms who talk about real-life motherhood through the lens of the gospel.

I’ve heard they’re super relatable and encouraging, especially when it comes to letting go of mom guilt and leaning into grace. It’s all about finding Jesus in the everyday moments of motherhood, which I’m all about.

9. The Homemaking Foundations Podcast

This is another one I’ve been meaning to dive into.

Jami Balmet covers all things homemaking with a biblical foundation, from routines and time management to spiritual growth and finding joy in your role at home. From what I’ve seen, she also offers online courses and printable resources for Christian moms who really want to dig in.

Definitely planning to start this one during my next batch of laundry folding!

10. Minimalist Moms Podcast

I keep seeing this podcast pop up, and it looks so helpful for any mama trying to simplify life (and let’s be honest, who isn’t?).

It’s hosted by Diane Boden, and she shares practical tips for decluttering, simplifying your schedule, and parenting with intention. I love the idea of creating more space, physically and mentally, for what really matters.
