Smart is the New Sexy, Season 3 is in motion and this year it is ALL about meeting our community where they’re at and moving forward collectively through the experiences of others.
So being that you're apart of our community, your voice matters! We want to hear what's most important to you. Let us know which topics below interest you most or if you have others you'd like to hear about.
Smart Is the New Sexy is an uplifting talk show and online platform that highlights the power of dreaming big through storytelling, connection, community and heart.
For two incredible, eventful and sometimes life-changing seasons, Arsiak has been inspiring audiences around the world to dream big with her signature brand of storytelling.
In Arsiak’s own story, she has been closely acquainted with self-doubt, the doubt of others, heartbreak and financial distress. Through self-discovery and the stories of others’ challenges and triumphs she has turned the tide and found love, success and purpose. Smart is the Next Sexy’s goal is to empower others to do the same.
On the show we seek out inspiration through others experiences, lessons and unique challenges. The common thread among each guest is they live with purpose —and their purpose drives their passion. They’re turning their dreams into reality every day.
Smart is the New Sexy believes every person should have the chance to feel seen and be heard. If you truly want something, you are capable and it’s possible another person’s story could propel you, as they did for Arsiak.

Season 1 - Where it all Began
Smart is the New Sexy ( SITNS™ )
Smart is the New Sexy empowers women to raise their voices. With outstanding guests and key players in women’s communities around Chicago, I’ve compiled conversations that hope will strike a little inspiration for you each week.
FEATURED SEASON 1 EPISODE
Sorry Not Sorry: How to Stop Apologizing for Your Success
In this episode of SITNS, Terri get’s intimate with us about her earliest encounters with an unequal balance of power, the many WTF moments and how it led her to where she is today. She discusses how severe the unequal balance of power can be in the growth of a person but as well as with the economy. By changing it and putting diversity in tech, we can pave the way to a more empathetic and successful economy.
Season 2 - Bridging the Gap
This Chapter we’re changing up the trend of women’s empowerment and bridging the gap between men and women. Truth is, there are a lot of great men out there who support women and if we want big change, we need to work together. We interviewed women, couples, and even just men. Before you pass judgement, I encourage you to stop and listen. Everyone has a story to tell. And I’m here to amplify it.
This Chapter is all about inclusivity, inspiring, teaching, and having a little fun along the way. Can't wait to hear your thoughts!
