Podcast Overview

Her Kind of Brave is a podcast for women who know that the hardest parts of life rarely make it to the highlight reel — and that bravery often lives in the quiet, unseen moments. Hosted by Chloe Davidson and Kellie Johnson, this show goes behind the glossy endings and into the real stories. The backstories. The messy middles. The chapters we live through before things make sense. Each episode features raw, thoughtful conversations with women who have faced loss, illness, identity shifts, motherhood, ambition, grief, rebuilding, and becoming — and kept going anyway. These are stories of building businesses while breaking inside, navigating bodies that don’t cooperate, grieving what was hoped for, and creating meaningful lives alongside uncertainty. Chloe and Kellie don’t show up as experts with all the answers. They show up as women in it — walking their own hard roads while holding space for others to tell the truth about theirs. Together, they create a warm, honest space where nothing needs to be wrapped in a bow and listeners are invited to simply be human. This is a podcast for anyone who has ever wondered if they’re the only one struggling behind the scenes. For anyone navigating the space between who they were and who they’re becoming. For anyone who wants to feel less alone in the hard stuff — and more connected to the strength it takes to keep showing up. Her Kind of Brave isn’t about perfect endings. It’s about courage in real time. And the power of sharing the story while you’re still living it. If you’re craving honesty, depth, and conversations that feel like a hand on your back saying me too — this is your place.

Who Looks After the Woman Looking After Everyone Else? | Linda Angledal on Losing Her Mum to Cancer, Caring for Her Dad with Alzheimer's & Raising a New Baby Alone

<p>In this powerful episode of Her Kind of Brave, Chloe and Kellie sit down with artist, florist and solo mum Linda Angledal for a deeply moving conversation about the motherhood she never expected.</p><p>After years of wondering if she'd ever have a child, Linda finally welcomed her daughter into the world as a solo mum. But instead of beginning motherhood surrounded by the support she'd imagined, life changed almost overnight. Within her daughter's first year, Linda was caring for her mum through terminal pancreatic cancer, supporting her brother through chronic illness and repeated hospitalisations, and caring for her father as Alzheimer's gradually changed the man she'd always known.</p><p>Rather than simply reflecting on everything she endured, Linda shares the lessons those years taught her about caregiver burnout, the invisible mental load, setting boundaries, accepting help, and why we were never meant to carry life's hardest seasons alone.</p><p>Whether you're caring for children, ageing parents, a partner, a friend—or simply feel like you're the one everyone depends on—this is a conversation about finding the courage to ask for help before you reach breaking point.</p><p><strong>Guest Bio:</strong> Linda Angledal is a Gold Coast-based singer-songwriter, florist, photographer, creative and solo mum.</p><p>Through her floral business, Angel Valley Flowers, and her original music, Linda creates work inspired by love, loss, hope and the resilience of the human spirit. After stepping away from music for several years, she has recently returned to songwriting and performing, using creativity as both a source of healing and connection.</p><p>You can connect with Linda on Instagram at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/angelvalley_flowers/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@angelvalley_flowers</a>, and listen to her original music on Spotify, including <a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/4xq6ZYugtYeLDLuolRUNVg" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Soul of My Soul</a> and <a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/3tJ8Ii1xLX9gclA8yLIvzT" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Seeker</a>.</p><p><strong>Support the brands that keep these brave conversations going:</strong></p><p><u><a href="https://monashivf.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">MONASH IVF </a></u></p><p>Call 1800 628 533</p><p>CENTRE FOR REPRODUCTIVE MEDICINE &amp; SURGERY - (Dr Kee Ong) –</p><p>Call 07 5519 1602</p><p><u><a href="https://www.instagram.com/drkeeong/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@drkeeong</a></u></p><p>IN HER OWN WORDS: IVF, LOSS &amp; MIRACLES BOOK:</p><p><u><a href="https://www.instagram.com/inherownwords_official/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Inherownwords_official</a></u></p><p><u><a href="https://amzn.in/d/c2wsW2J" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://amzn.in/d/c2wsW2J</a></u></p><p>KOSI</p><p><u><a href="https://kosi.au/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">kosi.au</a></u></p><p><u><a href="https://www.instagram.com/kosi_au/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@kosi_au</a></u></p><p>Use discount code HERKINDOFBRAVE15 for 15% off (exclusions apply)</p><p>MR CONSISTENT</p><p><u><a href="http://mrconsistent.com.au" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.mrconsistent.com.au/</a></u></p><p><u><a href="https://www.instagram.com/mr.consistent_/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@mrconsistent_</a></u></p><p>BESPOKE LONGEVITY –</p><p>bespokelongevity.com.au</p><p><u><a href="https://www.instagram.com/bespokelongevity_/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@bespokelongevity_</a></u></p><p>👉 Mention “Her Kind of Brave” for $50 off any treatment</p><p><strong>Where to find us:</strong></p><p>Be sure to join the chat in our Community Group www.facebook.com/groups/herkindofbrave/</p><p>Follow us on Instagram <u><a href="https://www.instagram.com/herkindofbrave_podcast/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@herkindofbrave_podcast</a></u> and Facebook <u><a href="https://www.facebook.com/herkindofbrave" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/herkindofbrave</a></u></p><p>Do you have a brave story, or are you looking to sponsor an upcoming episode?

Why Women Don't "Just Leave" | Siobhan O'Donnell on Domestic Violence, Coercive Control & Rebuilding After Abuse

<p>Domestic violence rarely begins with violence.</p><p>It often starts with love, charm, fast-moving commitment, and small moments that slowly chip away at your confidence, independence and sense of self.</p><p>In this deeply vulnerable conversation, Chloe sits down with law student, entrepreneur, podcaster and mum Siobhan O'Donnell, who shares her personal journey through an abusive relationship, coercive control, financial abuse, physical violence and the incredibly difficult path to leaving.</p><p>Siobhan speaks openly about the subtle red flags she missed, how pregnancy changed everything, why leaving wasn't as simple as "just walking away", and the practical support that ultimately helped save both her and her young son.</p><p>This episode is honest, confronting and incredibly important. Whether you're questioning your own relationship, supporting someone you love, or simply wanting to better understand domestic and family violence, this conversation could change the way you see it.</p><p><strong>Resources</strong></p><p>If this episode raises concerns for you or someone you know, support is available.</p><p><strong>Australia</strong></p><p>1800RESPECT — 1800 737 732 (24/7)</p><p>Lifeline Australia — 13 11 14</p><p>Women's Legal Services Australia</p><p>National Legal Aid</p><p>In an emergency, always call 000.</p><p><strong>Guess bio:</strong> Siobhan Freda O'Donnell is a law graduate, entrepreneur, podcaster, and survivor of domestic and family violence.</p><p>After surviving years of coercive control, emotional abuse, financial abuse, and physical violence, Siobhan made the courageous decision to leave and begin rebuilding her life alongside her young son. Her lived experience has inspired her to pursue a career in law, with a passion for supporting women navigating domestic violence and helping others better understand the legal protections available to them.</p><p>Alongside her legal career, Siobhan hosts the podcast Power Without Permission, where she shares honest conversations about resilience, personal growth, business, and navigating life's hardest seasons.
