Courage & Chaos
Embrace the mess: the raw truths and unspoken realities of 'having it all'. Courage + Chaos is the podcast for women who are juggling ALL the plates. With a focus on the challenges of managing entrepreneurship and careers, motherhood and advocacy, and all of the other day to day roles we are expected to play as women (proudly and without complaint) Courage and Chaos is about bringing women together, offering resources and a sense of community and challenging the societal "norms" we have been conditioned to (quietly) follow. Sharing stories, tips and perspective from women who are somehow doing it all.... and surviving to tell the tale. This is a community of women who truly get it, and will make you feel less alone in what you're dealing with and how you're feeling. Women whose stories and experience are relatable, inspiring and full of great advice. Women like you. Hosted by Rhiannon Louden: proud owner of two small businesses and mum to two amazing girls, the youngest of whom has a rare genetic disorder and multiple disabilities. Juggling a busy career, motherhood, and now the new role of health advocate for a non verbal, mobility impaired toddler has made this podcast feel more important than ever for Rhiannon. As a writer, photographer, brand strategist and mentor Rhiannon is a fierce supporter of female entrepreneurship and since becoming a parent seven years ago conversations on matrescence, motherhood and gender inequality have become equally prevalent in her life. So here we are! Episodes air bi-weekly on Wednesdays- going live at noon. Please give us a follow and leave a review- it helps a lot in getting these important stories out to the world and growing a community of like minded women too!

The traditional, corporate, patriarchal business setup wasn't created with women in mind. And it certainly wasn't created to feel manageable for women who are also mothers and carers.
Setting your own rules for your business, your lifestyle, and your own version of success is how you create a business you love- instead of a business you start to resent.
And when you build your business...
