About this listen

So many of us have been shaped to believe it “takes balls” to show courage and get big things done. But we’re tired of this old, sexist trope, because we know that it’s regularly women who are pulling on the threads of progress and mustering up the courage to push forward.


It Takes Boobs is a new Women’s Agenda special podcast series supported by Stella Insurance that challenges the long-held stereotype of it "taking balls" to be courageous. It shines a light on stories of female trailblazers who embody courage, grit and resilience from all walks of life.


It Takes Boobs is part of a broader campaign by Stella Insurance that looks to expand our vernacular around bravery, looking at how women exemplify courage in their lives and careers.


This podcast series is produced by Agenda Media, publisher of Women’s Agenda.
