How often do you stop to wonder who the person behind the reality TV star really is? You could look them up on the Internet, but what's the fun in that when you can hear it straight from the source? In this episode, Erin Lichy, of the Real Housewives of New York, is here to share her side of the story and what life is like for her as a serial entrepreneur, real estate agent, and mom.
When watching a reality television show, we tend to forget that we are only getting a small glimpse into a person's life, there is so much more that we don't know. Despite having much of her personal life edited out of RHONY, Erin is a multi-tasking renaissance woman in real life. She is not only a real estate agent, but also the founder of two businesses, Homegirl, a renovation and interior design firm, and Mezcalum, an organic mezcal brand. She is also the mom of three. For Erin, not much has changed since she appeared on the show. According to her, "I don't think we're that famous."

Many of us today have been conditioned to believe that happiness will come after achieving a version of success based on money and titles that have been spoon-fed to us our entire lives. Anu Muralidharan, COO and Board Member of Expensify, reached a low point six years into chasing this version of fulfillment. Gripped by crippling depression, she knew she had to find a new definition of success.
In an attempt to escape her circumstances, Anu immigrated to the United States to attend business school, accumulating $120,000 worth of debt in the process. Before she landed a job at Citibank, Anu cold-called hundreds, if not thousands of companies. As Anu describes it, she was always chasing after the next big thing, never stopping to ask herself if she was happy. Anu realized it was up to her to change her trajectory and began to follow her heart in an experiment that would lead her on the career path she is currently on. Throughout her career, Anu has faced self-doubt, a critical inner voice, and imposter syndrome, which has led her to offer keynote speeches on how high-achieving women can conquer all of these. Mentoring up-and-coming women entrepreneurs now brings her joy.

On a mission to help as many women as possible to heal their acne, Danielle Gronich aka The Acne Guru and Kayleigh Christina, a holistic nutritionist, partnered to create Clearstem, the first-ever toxin-free skincare brand that tackles acne and anti-aging simultaneously.
Both Danielle and Kayleigh have struggled with acne. After trying to resolve her skin issues for years, Danielle became an esthetician and founded the San Diego Acne Clinic. In a last ditch attempt to solve her problem acne, Kayleigh met Danielle after becoming a patient. They immediately connected and spent hours discussing skincare. This naturally led to the creation of Clearstem. While Danielle and Kayleigh agree that navigating a co-founder relationship is challenging, they are dedicated to solving problems immediately when they arise and learning to laugh even under the most stressful circumstances. While their business continues to grow, Danielle and Kayleigh remain committed to their mission, keeping peace and happiness at the center of everything they do.

As Mielle Organics celebrates its 10th anniversary this year, founder and CEO Monique Rodriguez promises an enormous celebration! And there sure is a lot to be excited about. In recent years, the Queen of Hair has broken barriers and given Black female founders everywhere a reason to celebrate.
After losing her son during a high-risk pregnancy in 2014, Monique founded Mielle. Her turn to God and faith during this time led Monique back to her true purpose of working in the beauty and hair care space after working as a nurse for almost a decade. Through sharing her hair journey on social media Monique began to heal and was inspired to build a brand of natural hair products. She has experienced incredible success since the launch of her brand. Not only is Monique a self-made millionaire, but she has accomplished two historic milestones within two years: first, by becoming the first Black woman ever to raise the largest non-controlling investment of over $100 million with Berkshire Partners, and second, by being acquired by Proctor & Gamble, the largest exit a Black female beauty founder has ever made.
The focus of Monique's brand has always been her online community and keeping her consumers' needs at the forefront. While Monique remains CEO of the company, she believes the real work has just begun. She now puts her focus on her real-life community, including her family and her non-profit Mielle Cares.

Despite working on multi-million dollar projects and hosting her own design television show, Toronto-based Ali Budd of Ali Budd Interiors didn't set out to be a superstar. According to her, she isn't even goal-oriented.
In response to her father's advice not to make a decision based on fear, Ali enrolled in an interior design school. Having worked under some of Canada's top designers, Ali decided to start her own business in 2010. Divorced with two small children, Ali found herself even more motivated to succeed, fueling her current success. She now manages a team of ten women and is one of the most sought-after designers in North America. The key to Ali's success is not following a prescribed path and being open to opportunities that come her way, including her new TV show, House of Ali, streaming on Hulu. With this "authentic reality" show, Ali hopes to celebrate and uplift women in the interior design world.

A professional dancer's career is not easy. A complete commitment of your time, body, and most importantly your heart is required. It is for this reason that many women end their careers early or wait until later in life, after retiring, to have children. Dancer Eran Bugge is blazing a new path in the modern dance world by showing the industry that she has room in her heart for both dance and a child.
Eran always assumed that she would retire and then become a mom, but then the pandemic hit and changed everything. Not ready to give up performing and not knowing when the pandemic would end, Eran and her husband decided to have a baby. After having a child and returning to dance, Eran became one of the first women since the 1980s to do so. Being a mother has allowed Eran to expand her heart even more while doing what she loves.
