Living Without Smell — A Conversation with Katie Boateng & STANA

When your world goes quiet, you notice what’s missing. In this powerful episode, hosts Stephanie Feuer and Mindy Yang of the World Taste & Smell Association speak with Katie Boateng, a leading patient advocate, co-founder of STANA (Smell and Taste Association of North America), and the incomparable force behind The Smell Podcast. Katie has lived with complete smell loss for more than 15 years — and in that time, she has transformed grief into community, purpose, and national advocacy. Together, we explore what it means to lose a sense that most people never think about… until it’s gone.
