The Audacity Tapes™ is a long-form podcast exploring what happens when conviction becomes non-negotiable.

These are not surface interviews. They are deep, unfiltered dialogues about the moments that demanded courage — the decisions that disrupted comfort — and the belief systems that refused to bend.

Hosted by Robbin Jorgensen, Founder & CEO of Women Igniting Change®, each episode examines the moments that reshaped identity, demanded courage, and forced a choice. What unites them is not title or platform — it’s moral clarity under pressure.

Formerly the Women Igniting Change® Podcast, this evolution reflects what has always been at the heart of these conversations: the audacity to imagine a better world — and the discipline to build it.

Our guests come from different paths and lived experiences, but they share one thing: a refusal to look away.

These conversations won’t just inspire you — they will recalibrate you. They invite you to examine your own convictions and take the next step toward the change that’s calling.

New episodes every Monday.

With listeners in 41 countries, The Audacity Tapes™ is a global platform exploring the moments that demand courage, conviction, and the audacity to choose differently.

  • FROM THE VAULT: The Audacity to Build 988 - Kristen Christy on Suicide Prevention, Stigma, and National Change

    FROM THE VAULT: The Audacity to Build 988 - Kristen Christy on Suicide Prevention, Stigma, and National Change
    2026/09/21

    What does it take to turn private grief into national change?

    In this deeply human and unflinching conversation, I sit down with Kristen Christy — a national leader in suicide prevention, military spouse, and the originator of what became the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

    Kristen’s story is layered with both love and loss: a life-altering stroke as a teenager, the strength of community in military life, and the devastating reality of losing her husband to suicide. But the story doesn’t end there. She speaks candidly about what families live with in the aftermath — the ongoing weight, the unanswered questions, and the lifelong impact on children.

    Out of that lived experience came a radical question, asked in the quiet hours of the night:

    Why do we have a three-digit number for medical emergencies — but not for mental health crises?

    That question became a decade-long fight through stigma, bureaucracy, and relentless “no’s,” ultimately helping bring 988 to life nationwide in 2022.

    This episode is about audacity at a national scale — and the way one woman turned grief into action, persistence into policy, and heartbreak into hope. Kristen also shares her three-step definition of real resilience, why “No” means “Next Opportunity,” and why hope isn’t a feeling — it’s a practice we choose, again and again.

  • FROM THE VAULT: Living Authentically in a World That Debates Your Existence with Gabrielle Claiborne

    FROM THE VAULT: Living Authentically in a World That Debates Your Existence with Gabrielle Claiborne
    2026/09/14

    Do we truly see one another — or do we reduce each other to labels?

    In this powerful conversation, Gabrielle Claiborne — author, TEDx speaker, leadership strategist, and advocate — shares what it means to live authentically as a trans woman in a world where identity is debated in headlines and policy rooms.

    This episode explores dignity, courage, visibility, and the cost of silence — and what becomes possible when we choose to see each other fully.

    Gabrielle speaks candidly about the quiet exhaustion of navigating systems that misunderstand you, the accumulated weight of small indignities, and the courage required to stay rooted in truth when your existence becomes political.

    She reflects on faith, family, leadership, and the responsibility each of us carries to move closer rather than further away from one another.

    This conversation is not about abstraction. It is about humanity.

    We talk about:

    • What it does to the spirit when your humanity is debated • The daily vigilance required to move through public spaces • The difference between symbolic allyship and real solidarity • The myths surrounding gender-affirming care • What bans and erasure communicate to entire communities • Why Gabrielle believes trans people model the hardest inner work humanity must embrace

    This is not a conversation meant to overwhelm. It is a conversation meant to humanize.

    Some of what you hear may land softly. Some may land hard. But at its core, this episode asks one central question:

    Are we willing to see each other as fully human?

    Key Moments

    7:48 — I am much more than trans

    10:59 — It’s like death by a thousand paper cuts

    22:24 — Your silence on matters that are personal to me will eventually become personal to you

    24:22 — Are you standing close enough to get hit by the same stones?

    40:54 — Trans people are the solution to humanity

    49:41 — Joy is a choice

    52:56 — You have to act on the truth of your heart

  • When Governments Come for the Universities: Mayda Hocevar on Venezuela, Academic Freedom, and the Erosion of Democracy

    When Governments Come for the Universities: Mayda Hocevar on Venezuela, Academic Freedom, and the Erosion of Democracy
    2026/09/07
    What happens when a government begins to see its universities not as places of learning, but as threats? Mayda Hocevar watched that transformation happen in Venezuela. She began her career as a professor of law and legal philosophy at the University of Los Andes, never imagining that one day she would find herself fighting to defend the institution that had shaped her life. But as Venezuela’s democracy slowly eroded, universities became targets. Funding disappeared. Autonomy was undermined. Students and professors were attacked. Independent thought itself became dangerous. In this conversation, Mayda takes us inside what that looked like as it was happening, including the warning signs that were easy to dismiss, the changes that gradually became normalized, and the moment she realized she could no longer simply remain a professor and look away. We also explore the larger questions her experience raises far beyond Venezuela. Why do authoritarian governments so often target universities? What happens to a society when political power begins determining what can be taught and what constitutes acceptable knowledge? And what responsibility do citizens have when democratic institutions they assumed were permanent begin to change? Mayda also reflects on growing government pressure on higher education in the United States, the January U.S. military operation that forcibly removed Nicolás Maduro, the limits and failures of international diplomacy, and the complicated road toward justice and democratic transition in Venezuela. This is not a story about a democracy disappearing overnight. It is a story about what happens slowly, incrementally, and sometimes almost imperceptibly, until the institutions people assumed would always be there no longer are. And what it requires of us to refuse to look away. In This Episode How a lifelong academic became a human rights defenderWhat happened inside Venezuelan universities as political repression intensifiedWhy authoritarian governments see independent universities as a threatWhat happens when governments begin controlling knowledge, education, and academic freedomHow Venezuela’s democracy eroded slowly enough that many people struggled to recognize what was happeningWhy attacks on universities can signal something much larger about the health of a democracyWhat Mayda sees when she looks at growing government pressure on higher education in the United StatesThe legal and moral questions surrounding the U.S. operation that removed Nicolás MaduroWhy protecting democracy ultimately requires individual responsibility, courage, and a refusal to remain silent Key Moments 01:26 — Before the Human Rights Defender 06:42 — When Being a Professor Was No Longer Enough 11:43 — Documenting the Attacks 16:37 — Why Authoritarian Governments Target Universities 20:50 — How a Democracy Slowly Erodes 26:30 — When Governments Pressure Higher Education 28:46 — Maduro, U.S. Intervention, and International Law 31:46 — The Failure of International Diplomacy 40:47 — Refusing to Look Away About Mayda Hocevar Mayda Hocevar is a Venezuelan lawyer, professor, researcher, and human rights defender whose work focuses on academic freedom, university autonomy, human rights, and democratic institutions. She is a professor at the University of Los Andes in Mérida, Venezuela, and founder and director of its Human Rights Observatory. The Observatory was established amid the violent repression of student protests in 2014 and has documented human rights violations and attacks affecting universities, students, faculty, and academic freedom. Her work has included advocacy before international and regional human rights mechanisms, human rights education, and extensive efforts to document and preserve the experiences of Venezuelan universities under authoritarian rule. Following Venezuela’s 2024 elections, increasing risks forced Mayda to leave the country. She subsequently joined the University of York’s Centre for Applied Human Rights through its Protective Fellowship Scheme, where her work has included preserving the memory of repression within Venezuelan universities and examining their role as spaces of resistance and human rights defense.
