I Thrive in Chaos

The mom of three, businesswoman and RHONY star knows how to multitask

Erin Lichy is one busy New Yorker. In addition to RHONY and her real estate agent work, she runs her interior design firm, HomeGirl, and recently launched her Mezcalum mezcal brand.

She’s also a mom of three. (The 37-year-old Bravo star shares Levi, 9, Layla, 7, and Elijah, 4, with her husband of 12 years, Abraham.) “It’s hard,” she says, “but it’s manageable for me. I’m one of those people who thrive in organized chaos.” Here, Erin talks to In Touch’s Fortune Benatar about her impressive balancing act, the upcoming season of The Real Housewives of New York City (the entire rebooted cast is returning, along with new faces Racquel Chevremont and Rebecca Minkoff), and her surprising connection to Meryl Streep.

How do you juggle it all?

EL: I have ADD. It sounds cheesy, but it’s a gift because my brain works in a million ways. I run multiple businesses on top of three kids. I can handle a lot.
