5 Personal Development Youtube Channels You Need To Follow

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at FIU chapter.

If you love self-help content like me, you probably enjoy books, podcasts, blogs, and videos geared towards personal development. Chances are that you have a list of favorites or go-to’s that you use daily. If you are still new to self-help content or are interested in learning more about how you can use such tools to improve and enhance your life, this article is for you. 

One of the most popular media platforms for content creation that has tons of helpful videos on self-growth and personal development is Youtube. And if you’re someone who prefers watching and listening to someone talk rather than reading books, blogs, or listening to podcasts, this is the perfect tool for you. There are so many Youtube channels devoted to personal growth, productivity, motivation, health, etc. And to help you find some of the most useful videos to watch, I’ve created a list of curated Youtube channels that you need to follow for all self-help content. Here are five personal development Youtube channels you should consider following: 

1. Valeria Lipovetsky

In her channel, Valeria shares her passion for self-growth and self-love, personal style, beauty  tips, and nutritional expertise.

She connects deeply with her viewers and is so transparent giving them an inside look on her life all while sharing tips and advice on various topics such as confidence, self-motivation, financial advice, health and wellness, and lifestyle routines. With an audience of over 1.2 million, she is a total boss woman inspiring women of all ages.

Sarah is a 28-year old content creator and Youtuber who shares all about money, business, and personal transformation on her channel. I recently discovered her Youtube channel and had to include it in this list as all her videos are so informative and helpful. Her videos are centered on learning to manage money, personal finance, creating healthy financial goals, cultivating healthy money habits, lifestyle, etc. She even has 2 series in which she uploads weekly educational and personal videos on managing money. My personal favorite is her “‘Money Stories With Sarah” series where she shares all about her personal stories, goals, and experiences on all things personal finance. Her other series is an educational series titled  “Personal Finance and Investing For Beginners” which is perfect if you are interested in learning about personal finance and investing basics. If you want to learn more about financial wellness, Sarah’s channel is your go-to. By watching her videos, you will confidently learn to make financial decisions and secure your financial future.
