Social media, like so many things, is ever evolving, but it takes real talent to discern which trends will have the power to shape popular culture. Call it skill, call it intuition, call it witchcraft; Fadia Kader has honed her ability to distinguish all the noise from the Next Big Thing, and it’s given her an edge every step of her career.
Starting in fashion in Atlanta, then joining the entertainment industry in New York, Fadia specialized in branding and promoting before taking her connections in the music industry into the world of social media. One of the early adopters of Clubhouse, the audio-only app where users can listen or join in live conversations, Fadia knew this was a new platform with incredible potential. She is now the Global Head of Strategic & Media Partnerships for the brand. Though she’s often ahead of the curve, Fadia has learned that when she trusts her instincts they lead her straight towards success.

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!

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.

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."
