This podcast gets straight to the patriarchal nitty gritty :
Why are you still waiting for that pay rise?

Why have you been conditioned to stay small so others can stand tall?
Expect raw, unfiltered conversations between Jo and her guests about:
The hard truths of being a woman at work—without the sugar-coating.
Allyship that actually drives change (not just empty words).
Real stories from women who’ve been there, done that, and fought back.
If you're ready to remember who the f**k you are, subscribe RIGHT NOW so you don't miss an episode.
And make no mistake...
This isn’t fluffy nonsense.
This isn’t performative empowerment.

“We’re seeing the equipment, we’re seeing the protective—we’re not seeing the personal.” – Katherine Evans, Founder of Bold as Brass
Jo Phillips is joined by Katherine Evans, founder of Bold as Brass, to talk about why personal protective equipment (PPE) is still failing women—and what we can do to fix it.
From ill-fitting safety gear to the invisible barriers women face in male-dominated industries, Katherine shares her powerful story of challenging the status quo in heavy industry and designing PPE that actually fits women’s bodies, identities, and needs.
They explore how something as ‘practical’ as workwear can either protect or dehumanise—and why seeing the person behind the PPE is the first step to systemic change.
Episode Highlights
(02:10) – Katherine’s mission behind Bold as Brass
(03:40) – The problem with “unisex” PPE: when protection becomes exclusion
(07:20) – Why representation matters
(10:00) – PPE and the body: why gear designed for male frames puts others at risk
(14:25) – What does truly personal protective equipment look like?
(19:10) – Catherine on bringing her whole self to an industry that wasn’t built for her
(24:00) – The language of change: why words like “grit” and “resilience” just don’t cut it
(29:30) – Advice for women in male-dominated sectors
About Our Guest: Katherine Evans
Katherine Evans is the founder of Bold as Brass, a Linkedin group designed to provide inclusive, dignified, and genuinely protective PPE for women and underrepresented groups in heavy industry.
Having worked in sectors where safety and identity are often compromised by one-size-fits-men gear, Katherine launched Bold as Brass to redefine what safety looks and feels like. She’s a passionate advocate for visibility, safety, and systemic change in workplaces where women have too often been treated as an afterthought.
