Summary

This week, Scheana sits down with RHONY star, entrepreneur, and author Erin Lichy for a raw and relatable conversation about love, accountability, and why sometimes the messiest chapters make the best stories.

Fresh off the success of her book She’s a Host: An Unbuttoned Cookbook for Elegant Entertaining, Erin shares what inspired her passion for hosting — and why she might think twice before writing another one. She also opens up about when cameras could start rolling again for the new season of RHONY, the tension between the OG and reboot casts (and which former Housewife she’d actually welcome back), and why her former costar Brynn blocked her on social media.

Scheana and Erin dive deep into marriage, infidelity, and what it really takes to rebuild trust after betrayal — with Scheana sharing her own experience navigating Brock’s affair. The two swap stories about NYC nightlife, motherhood, and how Erin’s mezcal brand, Mezcalum, is shaking things up. Tune in!
