Polished-ish

Life is not polished—it’s Polished-ish. What happens when we stop pretending everything’s perfect and start talking about the messy, unfiltered parts of life? Polished-ish is a podcast where longtime friends and collaborators Ruma Bhagat, Julianne Wurm, and Gerry Somers serve up honest conversations about the lessons hidden in our imperfections. Together, they unpack personal stories of failure, resilience, and growth—from saying “no” when it’s hard, to embracing setbacks as stepping stones, to finding humor in life’s unexpected detours. With warmth, wit, and vulnerability, the hosts give listeners permission by example to let go of perfection, challenge social myths, and embrace the unpolished truths of their own journeys. This isn’t a self-help sermon or a highlight reel. It’s a shared table where mistakes become wisdom, where laughter softens the sting of failure, and where imperfection is celebrated as the most authentic path
