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.

50: Challenging Industry Stereotypes and Redefining Measures of Female Health & Fitness

We talk a lot on this podcast about challenging industry "norms" and breaking the "rules". Taking a stance on what you believe in, even if it's not the popular opinion.

And there is no industry that's more relevant in than health & fitness- especially when it comes to health & fitness for women. We have all grown up being told our bodies should be smaller, that our worth is tied to a number on a scale. That exercise should be about being smaller, or punishment for eating, or focused solely around burning calories.

Thankfully that is changing, and my guest on today's episode is leading the way in a new way of thinking. Lynsey Ferguson is a women's health and exercise coach with two decades of experience in the industry. With a degree in sports medicine and specialist training in working with women who are pre and post natal, as well as women in the peri-menopause and menopausal stages of life she has a wealth of experience and specialist training and is working hard to get a new message out: one about the long term physical benefits, the mental health benefits, the confidence boost and ability to live your life to the fullest.

Lynsey and I chat about breaking outside traditional measures of "success", whether that's around fitness, entrepreneurship or in life in general. We talk about backlash for speaking out in a new way, why finding unique messaging is important and how the longer you're in business, the more confident you become to do things your own way.

Lynsey also shares lots of insights into how to start incorporating little bits of exercise into your day- and how to get started with weight training if it's something you've always wanted to do, but thought wasn't 'for' you.

Thanks for joining the conversation! Don't forget to like/follow the podcast to stay up to date on new episodes, and if you like what you hear please give us a share!
