You don’t often hear people touting the benefits of seeing the glass half-empty, but Anna Harman believes that’s what makes her an effective decision maker in tumultuous times.
After launching Studs piercing stores in 2019, the company quickly needed to grow an online presence in order to make it through the pandemic without closing permanently. Luckily Anna’s long-term vision helped them navigate a path to success. Now customers can get a top-notch piercing experience in 15 locations throughout the country, and find quality, affordable jewelry on Studs’ website 24/7!

In 2018, Rebecca Minkoff started the Superwomen podcast to give successful women a platform to tell their stories and share all the gritty details of what it took to become the women they are today. After interviewing hundreds of incredible women, the tables have turned. In this exclusive episode, former guest Jamie O’Banion, founder of BeautyBio, sits down to interview our very own superwoman, Rebecca Minkoff.
Starting in September, Rebecca will launch a year-long 20th anniversary celebration of Rebecca Minkoff, her name-sake brand. Rebecca might seem like she's got it all, a mom, a designer, podcaster, author, and founder, but peeling back the layers, it took a lot of work and sacrifice to get to where she is today. Having the courage to be uncomfortable contributed to Rebecca’s success, and now, she is empowering more women to start businesses through the Female Founder Collective. Over the years, Rebecca has learned that the most successful women are strong as f**k!

The CEO and Founder of Sweet Loren's, Loren Castle, is on a mission to enhance the lives of as many people as possible with her delicious "better-for-you" baked goods. As the #1 natural cookie dough brand in the US, Sweet Loren's is taking indulgence to a whole new level.
Having endured a life-altering battle with cancer at just 22, Loren pleaded with the universe that if she not only survived, but thrived after, she would turn her struggle into her greatest strength. Loren realized that the only way she could beat cancer was by staying positive, so she devoted all of her energy to becoming healthy and baking delicious treats. Sweet Loren’s was born from Loren's passion to create a gluten-free, vegan cookie that was equally delicious. Loren quickly realized that this was no longer about her, but creating a brand that would impact millions of people’s lives for the better. Deeply fueled by her mission, Loren makes sure to live her life with no regrets and only expect greatness.

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.
