Actress, producer and entrepreneur Tebogo Thobejane is stepping into a new chapter with the launch of her podcast, “Beyond the Glow”, a platform aimed at exploring the stories and experiences behind the public image.
Known for her work in television, production and entrepreneurship, Thobejane has built a career in the public eye while navigating personal challenges, loss, betrayal and intense public scrutiny.
Now, she is using her own experiences to create a space for women to tell their stories and reclaim their voices.
‘Beyond the Glow’ is about the woman behind the image
The podcast will move beyond traditional celebrity interviews, with Thobejane promising conversations centred on love, money, wellness, culture, faith, healing, womanhood, personal growth and reinvention.
The show will feature well-known personalities alongside women from everyday life who have faced difficult circumstances and are rebuilding their lives.
For Thobejane, the podcast is also closely connected to her own journey.
“’Beyond the Glow’ is part of my healing, my growth and my purpose. I want women to know that their voice matters, their story matters and their glow-up matters,” she said.
The actress, who survived an assassination attempt, has previously spoken publicly about the impact of the incident and the changes it brought to her life.
A platform for stories of survival and reinvention
Rather than focusing solely on the polished lives often presented online, “Beyond the Glow” will explore the experiences that happen away from the spotlight.
The podcast promises conversations about survival, reinvention, personal growth and purpose, while creating a space where women can speak openly about the realities they have faced.
Thobejane says the vision is to build something that goes beyond entertainment.
The platform will focus on connection, healing and transformation, with the intention of allowing women to be seen, heard and celebrated for more than what appears on social media.
Tebogo Thobejane invites women to share their stories
Women with powerful personal stories are also being invited to potentially feature on the podcast.
Thobejane and her team are encouraging women who want to share their experiences to send a direct message for consideration.
The podcast comes at a time when Thobejane is embracing a different kind of storytelling — one that places vulnerability, resilience and personal growth at the centre.
With “Beyond the Glow”, she is hoping to remind women that there is value in telling the stories that exist behind the image.
“Your voice matters. Your story matters. Your glow-up matters.”
