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!

47: Goals in Motion: How to Set, Shift, and Succeed as a Female Entrepreneur

Season 4 · Episode 3

vendredi 10 janvier 2025Duration 26:03

Repeat after me: I do not need to reinvent myself this year.

Or set a big list of goals you haven't actually given much thought to- just because there are messages everywhere telling you that's what you "have to" do to become a "success."

The first episode of 2025 is all about saying goodbye to the "New Year, New You'll bullsh*t we see every January and instead taking some time to think honestly about what you want out of 2025.

I start with sharing my own perspective after what was the most tumultous year of my life in 2024, and why I'm not setting big showy goals for 2025. I talk you through the difference between dreams, intentions and goals and the importance of choosing a select few goals that are the right fit in every aspect of you life- not just your business. 

From there I share my simple five step process for setting goals you can actually achieve, focused around defining, sharing, planning, accountability and celebrating every win along the way. 
 
This is a short and sweet solo episode and I hope you'll find it helpful, relatable and a little bit inspirational too.

EP 37: Small Fish Big Pod becomes The Self Employed Mum

Episode 37

mardi 9 janvier 2024Duration 08:26

Small Fish Big Pod is now The Self Employed Mum Podcast!

The podcast is shifting focus- from a female entrepreneurship podcast to a podcast specifically for entrepreneurs who are also mums.

I thought about this a lot, as I don’t want to leave anyone out- I really don’t want to separate women into different categories as we are all figuring this out together.

But running a business while raising small humans is an entirely different ballgame and for those of us who are in the thick of it right now- this is the kind of content we need. The kind of discourse we are passionate about creating and sharing. The kind of conversations we most need to participate in.

So here we are! From now onwards the podcast will share stories, tips and perspective from female entrepreneurs who are also mums- and the topics we cover will be related specifically to the challenges of running a business while raising children.

Listen in more detail above (it's a very short solo episode!)- regular episodes resume next week!

EP36: Decluttering your space- and your business mind- with Elaine McKinlay

mercredi 23 août 2023Duration 01:18:42

Clutter- it's hard to avoid it when you're busy and juggling ALL the plates.

For some of us, it's physical clutter in our space. For others, it might be mental clutte. Or disorganization in our business or schedule. For manby of us (me!) it can feel like all of the above.

the good news is- if you acknowledge it, and start working on the causes we CAN start decluttering our lives... and that's what this episode is all about.

This week I chat with Home & Lifestyle Coach and Professional Organizer Elaine McKinlay, who explains why clutter happens, how it affects us, and why it's important to identify and acknowledge where declutter is needed.

Elaine also talks us though her process and shares practical tips and advice for making a start on decluttering our own lives (and businesses!)- and keeping them clutter free.

If you feel like your mind, your home or your business could use some decluttering, this episode is for you!

EP 33: Why money isn't the root of all evil (and it's ok to make some) with Ray Dodd

Season 3 · Episode 2

jeudi 1 juin 2023Duration 01:02:06

Uncomfortable with the 'money' aspect of running a small business? You're in good company. Most small business owners and freelancers find things like pricing and selling difficult to navigate and uncomfortable to talk about. But they're kind of an important part of running a business- we do need to make a living after all!

This episode I interview Money Coach Ray Dodd, who talks us through why many of us have negative perceptions about money, self limiting beliefs surrounding money and our worth, and offers an alternative perspective on what more money can mean not only for our own lifestyle, but for the world around us.

She also shares her own business story and journey (the tough stuff too- not just the highlights!) and gives us some great tips for challenging our current beliefs and perceptions around money, limitations and future goals.

If you feel like your perceptions on money are holding you back, this is the episode for you!

Episode 32: Surviving the return from maternity leave (barely)

Season 3 · Episode 1

mardi 16 mai 2023Duration 24:05

Episode 32- the podcast is back for season three, and I'm back from materntiy leave!

I've actually been back to work from mat leave for a while, but it's been quite the adjustment around here.

This is a solo episode and it's all about my experience with maternity leave as an entrepreneur, and the struggle to find a new normal as I return to work. I talk about hiring a virtual assistant to keep things ticking over, trying to take a "proper" leave from your business and how I staggered my return back (or tried to anyways).

If you're planning for mat leave, or planning to return from one this episode is full of honest truths and perspectives on how it felt for me, what the biggest challenges were and what I'm working through now, almost one year in to my return.
