Hi Aasha,
I can personally recommend any audio (or written) teachings by Ajahn Sumedho a westerner who is an ordained abbot of the Theravada Thai Forest Tradition previously at the UK Amaravati Monastery. I was fortunate enough to attend a number of his offline teachings and also received personal advice from him about my practice, before he eventually retired to Thailand last year.
He is a gentle, kind man of great wisdom and integrity and gets right to the heart of the teachings in his talks, using many of his own personal life experiences as examples.
You can find his talks on this website. I also recommend you investigate any texts and audios relating to Ajahn Chah who was Ajahn Sumedho's teacher. The other ajahn's on the website are also from the same tradition but I haven't listened to all of the talks myself.

I hope that helps.
With kind wishes,
Aloka
