What springs to mind when you hear the word ‘strength’? Muscles and brawn maybe. But strength comes in all shapes and sizes; from brute force to mental resolve, and at times finding this strength can take an Amazonian effort.

In this episode of The Heart of It, Estée meets Emily Read, founder of Pro-wrestling Eve, a feminist-punk-rock wrestling promotion, and talks about her own experiences of having her strength tested.
