Hosted by former TV journalist Smitha Rao, this show explores ambition, reinvention, relationships, career pressure, identity, modern adulthood, and the moments no one posts about on social media.

In this first episode, Smitha shares the story behind why she launched the podcast, what “Unglamorous” really means, and how life in New York City — and beyond — often looks very different behind the highlight reel.

From career pivots and personal growth to dating, success, vulnerability, and starting over, this podcast is about creating honest conversations around the realities we’re all navigating in real time.

Because sometimes the most unglamorous moments… are where the real story begins.
