When Aliza Licht (aka DKNY PR GIRL) left Donna Karan after 17 years, she was simply known as Aliza from DKNY. With no title to fall back on, Aliza knew she had to figure out who she was now and reshape her own narrative.
Aliza’s journey in self-reflection led to her writing her second book On Brand: Shape Your Narrative. Share Your Vision. Shift Their Perception. By retelling her journey, Aliza shows readers how she rebranded herself and took control of her own story. Aliza believes that every individual is responsible for taking an active role in their own brand in today's ever-changing, noisy world. For Aliza’s full back story, be sure to revisit her first guest appearance on Superwomen.

Depending on who you ask, plastic surgery can conjure up a lot of different images. Today, beauty ideals are changing and everyone has their own definition of beauty. World-renowned, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Lara Devgan believes that plastic surgery is an art, and there's no reason you can't have it all while looking cute. 
Dr. Devgan, rated the #1 female plastic surgeon in NY, has mastered the art of what she calls "facial optimization", empowering her patients to "be their own kind of beautiful" as ethically as possible. Additionally, Dr. Devgan has vertically integrated her skincare line Dr. Devgan Scientific Beauty to give women access to the best medical grade skincare from the comfort of their homes. Besides being a surgeon, Dr. Lara is also a wife and mother of six who knows first-hand just how difficult it can be to balance family, business, and surgery. According to Dr. Lara, women can have it all, but not at the same time, and when faced with challenges, just take the next right step.

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."

Although Lydia Fenet believes everything in life happens exactly as it should, she didn’t become one of the top charity auctioneers in the world by chance alone. For over two decades, Lydia worked tirelessly to become "the most powerful woman in the room."
Lydia Fenet spent over twenty years working for Christie's, a world-renowned auction house, beginning as an intern, and eventually becoming one of the world's most well-known auctioneers. A series of events, including a car accident, led Lydia to leave the security and comfort of Christie's and take a risk on herself. Having realized her true value, Lydia "claimed her confidence" and founded Lydia Fenet Agency, a boutique auctioneering agency representing talented charity auctioneers. Today, Lydia is the best-selling author of two books: The Most Powerful Woman in the Room and Claim Your Confidence, a podcast host, speaker, and Founder and CEO of the Lydia Fenet Agency.

Italian-American award-winning chef and television personality Giada De Laurentiis blazed the path for female celebrity chefs. A pioneer in a still predominately male-dominated industry, Giada followed opportunities that ultimately led to her 21-year stint on The Food Network.
As Giada recalls, most of her career was "edited." Wanting to rewrite the script to show a truer version of herself, she decided to get out while she was at the top. Giada launched her lifestyle platform Giadzy to pursue her heart’s true calling – entrepreneurship. With Giadzy, Giada showcases her love of Italy while weaving together the stories of each hand-selected product, creating an emotional connection with the consumer and building a community with her new membership program. Despite having faced her own struggles as a female chef and entrepreneur, Giada believes it is essential to enjoy the journey on the path to success.

Unedited: Overcoming Pressures, Aging Gracefully, and Embracing Entreprenurship with Giada De Laurentiis, Founder of Giadzy & Emmy Award-Winning Chef

The restaurant industry is notorious for being highly stressful, extremely competitive, and still primarily dominated by men. Owners of the critically acclaimed Raf's New York, sisters Jennifer and Nicole Vitagliano, along with their female chef partners, have created a safe space that raises women up and challenges the status quo.
Just celebrating their one-year anniversary, Raf's has become an iconic neighborhood restaurant “where everyone wants to come and no one wants to leave." Following a romantic idea of opening an old-world style bakery near Jennifer's first restaurant, Musket Room, Jennifer and Nicole established a female “forever team” to align their values and vision. As they have created a space for each other to be themselves, they have been able to offer grace to each other during stressful circumstances. This has largely translated into the restaurant's vibe and the community they have built around it.
