    Meeting Mr. Right, with the Fashion Icon Nicky Hilton Rothschild

    Welcome back to the Morning After Series on SUPERWOMEN, sponsored by Magnum Ice Cream! In the second episode of this four-part series, Candace Bushnell, the creator of “Sex and The City,” and I sat down with the fashion icon Nicky Hilton Rothschild, to talk about her experiences with dating and how “SATC” has shaped her life.  Nicky is a New Yorker, born and bred. She grew up in the city secretly watching “Sex and The City” when she was a teen, and blowing her entire allowance at Patricia Field’s boutique in Greenwich Village on Saturdays with her sister Paris. But her love life hasn’t mirrored that of the show’s leading ladies. “I wish I had some more salacious stories for you, but I was always that monogamous girl. I was always in, like, a multi-year relationship,” she tells us, “so I didn’t get to play in the Manhattan dating playground.” Nicky gives us the scoop on the best places to meet elusive bachelors, how she knew she met The One, which “SATC” character she sees herself in, her cameo that never was, and the one fashion item she still scours the Internet for. Magnum Double Raspberry bars are the perfect indulgent treat for chocolate and fruit lovers this Valentine’s Day! When it comes to self-expression, indulgence, and chocolate, more is more with Magnum Ice Cream. Find it at retailers nationwide and at magnumicecream.com. Trust us, you’ll love them. Hope you enjoy the episode and more to come over the next couple of months!  Thank you for listening!

    This Scrunchie Could Literally Save Your Life, with Shirah Benarde, the Gen Z CEO and Co-Founder of NightCap

    On SUPERWOMEN, I talked to Shirah Benarde, the 22-year-old CEO and co-founder of NightCap. When she was just 16, Shirah found out that one of her friends had been roofied. Not long after, she got to work, taping together a pair of pantyhose and a scrunchie to make a prototype of a device that can help protect people from drink-spiking.  Cut to one year later: Shirah and her brother Michael pitched the product on “Shark Tank” and secured a deal. But launching her business as a Gen Z founder was far from easy. “I knew deep down that I had no idea what I was doing, and that made it really hard for other people to see me in a professional way,” she told me. Shirah pushed herself to really understand her business, making costly mistakes along her journey. “We definitely spent a lot of money on things that we didn’t know that worked,” she said, “but it was a huge learning lesson.” In the process of building her company, she discovered how to get people to trust her vision: “You have to take yourself seriously.” NightCap has since taken off, partnering with nonprofits, and over 200 universities. The company has also been spearheading legislation to help people stay safe when they go out.  This week on SUPERWOMEN, I talked to @shirahbenarde, the 22-year-old CEO and co-founder of @nightcapit about drink-spiking and her life-saving (literally!) accessories that help people stay safe when they go out. Shirah lets us in how she deals with the stigma of being a Gen Z woman in business, her time on “Shark Tank,” and how she personally convinced the CEO of a multinational fashion company at a conference to team up with her company.

    Exposing the Dark Side and Hidden Threats of Technology with Laurie Segall, the Investigative Tech Journalist

    On the SUPERWOMEN podcast, I’m sitting down with Laurie Segall, the founder of Mostly Human Media and a former senior technology correspondent and editor-at-large at CNN. Throughout her award-winning career, Laurie has investigated the dangers of technology, and has interviewed some of the most powerful figures in Silicon Valley, like Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey.  Laurie had always dreamt of being a journalist and started at the bottom of the newsroom as a CNN intern. Fast-forward several years, and she was leading the organization’s tech coverage at one of the most pivotal moments in modern history—the rise of social media. Her groundbreaking reporting has shed light on some of the most terrifying consequences of the digital era, including unregulated A.I. chatbots, tech addiction, revenge pornography, and more. After she spent nearly a decade at CNN, at the top of her game, she left it all behind in 2019 to start her own media company, where her work has continued her push for a safer future. She has also written a memoir, “Special Characters: My Adventures with Tech’s Titans and Misfits,” an unflinching look at how she built her career alongside the tech startup nerds turned giants, who have shaped the world as we know it today. In this episode, Laurie shares her best advice for women who feel intimidated by the challenges of starting a business, the YouTube video that inspired her to quit her dream job, and how she plans to take on her latest target: MrDeepFakes.

    Being Your Own Mr. Big, with Candace Bushnell, the Creator of “Sex and the City” and Real-Life Carrie Bradshaw

    Welcome to the Morning After Series on SUPERWOMEN, sponsored by Magnum Ice Cream! In this four-part series,Candace Bushnell, the creator of “Sex and The City,” and I are going to be chatting about everything from career and adulting to relationships, friendships, and, of course, love (or the struggle to find it) here in New York City. Plus, we’ll have some awesome guests joining us on the podcast. Candace first captured the lives of beautiful, ambitious, single women in the city through her column in theNew York Observer, which later became the basis of her bestselling book and hit HBO series. But, before “Sex and the City” became one of the biggest cultural phenomenons in modern history, it was simply the reality of Candace and the women around her—navigating life in a city full of all kinds of possibilities.  In this episode, Candace dives into the lasting impact of her work, the pains of modern dating, why successful women still struggle to find great men in Manhattan, and what it means to be your own Mr. Big. She also gives us the scoop on who she thinks the Carrie Bradshaw of today is, what series she thinks is the “SATC” for Gen Z, and her upcoming one-woman show, “True Tales of Sex, Success, and Sex and the City.”  Magnum Double Raspberry bars are the perfect indulgent treat for chocolate and fruit lovers this Valentine’s Day! When it comes to self-expression, indulgence, and chocolate, more is more with Magnum Ice Cream. Find it at retailers nationwide and atmagnumicecream.com. Trust us, you’ll love them.

    Building the Business and Life of Your Dreams with Kathleen Griffith, a Bestselling Author and Entrepreneur

    On the SUPERWOMEN podcast this week, I’m joined by Kathleen Griffith, an award-winning business strategist and bestselling author, to talk about her book, “Build Like a Woman: The Blueprint for Creating a Business and Life You Love,” and her path to empowering female entrepreneurs. Kathleen started her career in corporate, working for big advertising agencies, but felt that her work was engineering insecurity in women rather than emboldening them to do more. She left and founded her own companies: BUILD, a global platform that guides women in transforming their businesses and lives, and Grayce & Co, a female-focused marketing and media consultancy. Her work has been featured in numerous publications, including TIME Magazine, Forbes, The New York Times, Business Insider, and The Wall Street Journal, and she has been recognized as a “Top 40 Disruptor” by ADWEEK, “Leading Woman in Business” by Fast Company, “Creative Innovator” by Condé Nast, “Most Powerful Woman” by Fortune, and more. In this episode, she reflects on finding opportunities in life’s challenges, building confidence through setting and achieving goals, and why we, as women, need to forge the right mindset—not just the skillset—to turn our dreams into a reality.

    This week, Nicole Wegman, the founder and C.E.O. of the fine jewelry company Ring Concierge, returns to the SUPERWOMEN podcast to discuss how she’s transforming the industry with her women-first approach. When I first interviewed Nicole, in 2022, she spoke about the value of scaling a business slowly and strategically. Nicole launched Ring Concierge in 2013, when she was 26, to help women find forever pieces that are both inspirational and attainable. Since then, the company has exploded in growth, expanding from e-commerce to brick-and-mortar locations in New York City, Los Angeles, Houston, and, as of November, Boca Raton. In this episode, Nicole explores her struggle to find work-life balance, especially as the mother of two young children, while running a thriving company, the silver linings of mastering the less emotionally rewarding aspects of running a business, and how staying connected to her clients has driven innovation. Listen to her powerful insights on leadership, intuition, and the two things that any person starting a company should do.  Plus, as a special gift for our superwomen this holiday season, we have an exclusive discount code!
