  • Summary

  • 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.

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

    47: Goals in Motion: How to Set, Shift, and Succeed as a Female Entrepreneur
    Jan 10 2025
    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.

    Nicole explains to us what mindfulness is, how to practice it in small ways and in big ones, and how to implement tiny changes into your day that will make a big impact. She walks us through the science behind mindfulness and why it's so important- especially as women who are jugling a lot.

    45: Growing a business from side hustle to thriving career- and the many hurdles along the way
    Nov 27 2024
    Never mind the highlights. It’s the hurdles we’ve overcome that tell the most honest- and interesting- story.

    Courage and Chaos is back for a new season- and I’m starting this one out by sharing the real, raw, honest truths about my own business journey as a female entrepreneur.

    With a focus on five major obstacles and the ways I overcame them, I’ll walk you through my seven years of full time self employment (and the many years of side hustling before that) to get to where I am today: with two thriving business, co founding a community of female entrepreneurs in Scotland and raising two small humans.

    Covering a move overseas and setting up a business in a new country, matresence and motherhood, disability parenting, a worldwide pandemic and a host of other things that tested my determination (and stubbornness) this episode is all about learning things the hard way, adapting, and celebrating growth and perseverence- even when it looks different than you thought it would.
