"I decided what kind of woman I wanted to be—and I get to define what that looks like." — Rhiannon Louden on Taking Up Space
06.12.2024
Meet Rhiannon Louden, the powerhouse behind this week’s episode of Take Up Space! Rhiannon is a branding specialist, photographer, podcast host, and community builder who somehow balances all this with being a mum to two girls—one with a rare genetic condition—a rescue dog, a cat, and a husband. Her life? Beautifully chaotic.
But Rhiannon’s story is more than just her impressive juggling act. It’s about how she’s redefined success on her terms, challenged outdated ideas of professionalism, and found ways to unapologetically take up space, even when life gets messy. 💪
In this episode, we get real about:
💡 Letting go of societal “shoulds” and embracing your authentic self.
🤯 How Rhiannon balances her health, creativity, and motherhood.
👩‍🎤 Redefining what it means to be bold, rebellious, and professional.
This conversation is a powerful reminder that taking up space doesn’t mean fitting into a mold—it’s about owning who you are and unapologetically showing up for yourself.Â

"The People-Pleasing and Self-Abandoning Led to So Much Dumb Shit" – Jazz Kirby on Taking Up Space
26.11.2024
In this episode of Take Up Space, Cat & Jess sit down with Jazz Kirby, an inner work coach and all-around powerhouse who’s transformed her life from the inside out.
Originally from the UK and now living it up in Australia, Jazz shares what it’s taken to move past people-pleasing, set boundaries, and unapologetically create the life she wants.
Jazz opens up about learning self-love, navigating tricky family dynamics, and why moving across the world wasn’t a magical fix for old patterns (though it made for one hell of a starting point!). She also shares how small rituals, like walking barefoot on the beach, keep her grounded in the chaos of everyday life.
This is a candid conversation about real growth – the kind that’s messy, uncomfortable, and absolutely worth it. If you’ve ever struggled with putting yourself first, Jazz’s story will remind you that you’re not alone and that change is possible (even if it means rethinking everything you thought you knew about yourself).
