Balancing Acts: Entrepreneurship, Real Estate, and Motherhood in the Spotlight- An Encore with Erin Lichy of Real Housewives of New York

Superwomen with Rebecca Minkoff

This episode originally aired February 2024.

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."
