Mumbai, India — January 29, 2026 – Launched on International Women’s Day, March 8, 2025, Behind The Strength is a purpose-driven podcast that goes beyond achievements to uncover the unseen struggles, emotional battles, and defining moments that shape real resilience. Created and hosted by Priya Kapur, the podcast is a response to a world that often celebrates success without acknowledging the cost of getting there.

Priya Kapur’s Vision: What Lies Behind the Smile

At the heart of Behind The Strength lies Priya Kapur’s deeply personal vision — to create a safe, honest space where stories are told without filters. The podcast was born from her belief that behind every confident smile, public persona, or successful title lies a journey filled with doubt, sacrifice, grief, courage, and quiet perseverance.

Priya Kapur set out to shift the narrative from “look how strong they are” to “look what they survived.” By focusing on the rawness behind success, the podcast challenges the culture of performative strength and highlights the humanity behind every achievement. Behind The Strength reminds listeners that resilience is not about being unbreakable — it is about showing up, even when life is heavy.

A Platform That Celebrates Strength in Its Truest Form

Behind The Strength celebrates stories where vulnerability meets courage. Each episode invites guests to share not just what they built or achieved, but what they endured — the failures, emotional toll, inner conflicts, and turning points that shaped them. The podcast resonates with anyone who has ever felt unseen behind their accomplishments or expected to stay strong without space to be honest.
