PEP IN YOUR STEP Try out these podcasts on your next walk.

Over the last year, you’ve probably done your fair share of walking around the block. After all, during the pandemic, walking—alone, with family, with friends— became one of the best ways outlets for stress-free exercise, mental clarity, and a much-needed change of scenery. But merely walking the same loop over and over again may be getting old. That’s why you should consider listening to a fabulous podcast while you walk. Here are a few podcasts for you to consider:

For surprising conversations: Armchair Expert

Dax Shepherd, actor, father, and husband spends most of his time on his weekly podcast, Armchair Expert, where he brings in scientists, celebrities, politicians, and more for super in-depth and thoughtful conversations. Listen in as they discuss the “messiness of being a human’’ on your next walk.

For self-improvement: Happier

Gretchen Rubin is on a mission to make everyone just a tiny bit happier. As the author behind The Happiness Project, Rubin is a tried-and-true happiness expert who, along with her Happier podcast co-host Elizabeth Craft, helps

teach people small but meaningful ways to find more happiness in their day-to-day routines.

For intimate, personal confessions: Death, Sex & Money

Get ready for some real talk. The Death, Sex & Money podcast, hosted by Anna Sale, is for all those conversations you were told to never bring up at the dinner table. From pandemic dating to the death penalty, sexual identity to addiction, this podcast is a onestop-shop for everything deliciously taboo—but perfectly packaged in tight, fascinating interviews— which makes it perfect for a solo walk with your headphones in.

Ask open-ended questions YOU

ARE YOU LISTENING? Improve your listening skills

You may believe you listen to other people when they’re talking—but do you really? Are you engaged in the conversation, or are you multitasking as you scroll through Instagram? Do you allow yourself to digest what they’re saying, or are you mentally preparing your response? Being a good listener is a skill that requires practice. Want to be a better listener? Start by working on these tips:

If you’ve ever tried to chat with someone who gave you one-word answers (your teenager), you understand the frustration of not being able to keep a conversation going. Part of learning how to listen is using what you hear to then explore new ways of asking the same questions. When trying to navigate a problem—from a missed work deadline to a sink full of dirty dishes—asking open-ended questions can help someone feel heard.

Focus on compassion

When you seek to listen, make a conscious effort to be empathetic toward another person. Maybe it’s understanding why your partner feels neglected at work and is taking it out on you. Whatever the case, it’s essential to consider every conversation to be an act of compassion.

Make time for 1:1 conversations

While some people thrive in group situations, others turn into wallflowers who pull away. As a manager at work, or the ringleader of your household, scheduling 1:1 time with each colleague or family member will improve your listening abilities. This dedicated ‘meeting’ is a time where you can understand how each individual communicates.

Give your undivided attention.

When someone is talking to you, it’s time to clear the decks. This means, you’re only listening to them—either looking at them or zeroing in on their voice while chatting on the phone. Maybe you need to step away from your computer, put down your phone or turn off the TV. In short, you need to be fully present, so you can digest what they’re saying.
