What Is the Made to Thrive Podcast and Where Can You Listen?

Updated

Made to Thrive is a weekly health and wellness podcast hosted by Kris Carr, aimed at people who want to feel better, live bolder, and build a more meaningful life. New episodes are released every Wednesday, and you can listen on Apple Podcasts and other podcast platforms. It's a good fit if you want practical, encouraging health guidance in a listenable weekly format rather than a structured course.

What the Podcast Covers

According to the show's description on kriscarr.com, each episode combines inspiring advice with expert insights to help listeners thrive. The stated focus is threefold:

  • Feeling better — health and wellness guidance
  • Living bolder — encouragement to act on your wellbeing
  • Creating a more meaningful life — a whole-person angle that matches the site's broader "body, mind & spirit" framing

The podcast sits within a wider site that also covers recipes, emotional health, cancer care, and general wellness, so episodes may draw on those areas. The page does not list individual episode topics or a full guest roster, so check the podcast feed itself for the current lineup.

Who It's For

The show is positioned for listeners who want to improve how they feel and are looking for regular, expert-backed input. It suits people who:

  • Prefer audio learning they can fit into a commute, workout, or chores
  • Want a consistent weekly touchpoint rather than a one-off read
  • Are drawn to Kris Carr's background — she describes her wellness journey as beginning with a Stage IV cancer diagnosis in 2003, and she is presented on the site as a New York Times bestselling author and wellness leader

If you're looking for a structured program with coaching and community instead, the site's membership is the closer match; the podcast is the free, open listening option.

Where to Listen

The site directs listeners to Apple Podcasts with a "listen now" link, and describes the show as available on podcast platforms generally. To get started:

  1. Open your usual podcast app (Apple Podcasts is the explicitly linked option).
  2. Search for "Made to Thrive" with host Kris Carr.
  3. Subscribe or follow so new Wednesday episodes arrive automatically.
  4. Play the most recent episode or start from the beginning of the feed.

Expected result: the show appears in your library and new episodes surface weekly. If a search returns several similarly named shows, confirm the host name before subscribing.

Common Questions

Is it free? The site presents the podcast as a listenable show linked from its homepage; no price or login requirement is stated for listening. Any access restrictions would appear in the podcast app itself.

How often are episodes released? Weekly, on Wednesdays, per the show description.

Does it replace medical care? No — it's general wellness content. The site's cancer-care and emotional-health sections are informational, and personal health decisions belong with your own care team.

Where can I find more from Kris Carr? The same site links to a free wellness tracker, a membership with coaching and monthly wellness plans, books, courses, and a blog — useful next steps if the podcast leaves you wanting more structure.
