In this powerful comeback episode of Brillantes, host Jeanne du Sartel welcomes Tanya Koenig, whose voice has shaped Swiss television, journalism, and live events for over a decade. As a journalist, moderator, and storyteller, Tanya opens up about navigating the evolving media landscape with authenticity at her core. From hosting G&G on Swiss TV to international events, she shares insights on embracing imperfection, building bridges across cultures, and redefining success on her own terms.
As she navigates the challenges of being in the spotlight, Tanya also opens up about the impact of pregnancy on her career and personal projects. She reflects on the closure of the Swiss show 'G&G' and its implications for the media landscape, while contemplating her future aspirations, including potentially working internationally. Throughout the dialogue, Tanya emphasizes the significance of authenticity, self-trust, and the evolving role of women in media.
This conversation goes beyond the glamour of TV to explore what it truly means to be authentic in an industry often focused on perfection.
