Motherhood & Entrepreneurship unleased: The raw, honest truths of what it takes to be a mum and an entrepreneur. Told by the women juggling ALL the plates- and living to tell the tale.

Running a business while raising small humans is whole different ballgame. If you, like me, and I’m in the thick of it right now- this podcast is for you. About you. By you.

Hosted by me: Rhiannon Louden, mum of two small humans (and two rescue pets), CEO of two small businesses, and a Canadian expat living in Scotland. Professionally I'm a photographer, branding expert and writer and at this point in my life, conversations on feminism, motherhood, the female experience and "having it all" are so important to me.

My guests? Women who are entrepreneurs and also mums. That's the criteria!

"The Self Employed Mum Podcast"shares 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.

Episodes air Wednesdays at 9 am, bi-weekly.

Please follow and leave a review- it helps a lot in getting this out the world!
