Life Is Good as Gold(en) with Dorinda Medley

Dorinda Medley has made it nice, been put on pause, and now she's pressing play on a whole new chapter! The RHONY icon joins Scheana to talk about her return to reality TV on E!'s The Golden Life, addresses speculation that she joined the show following Jill Zarin's ousting, and explains why she's enjoying her freedom a little too much to settle down again (unless he's handy around the house).

Dorinda reflects on the many lives she lived before Bravo, from selling cashmere to Princess Diana to owning the manor her ancestors helped build. She also opens up about love, loss, motherhood, and why she wouldn't change a thing about her past—even the marriages that didn't last.

Plus, Dorinda reveals her surprising DJ origins, shares her philosophy on money (including why you should set some aside just to blow it), and explains why you shouldn't go into the new year with your Christmas decorations still up. With her new book, I Know a Thing or Two About a Thing or Two, on the way, she's also sharing some hard-earned wisdom about independence, reinvention, and knowing your worth. After all, reality TV may have made her a household name, but as Dorinda reminds us, she was already the cake—Bravo was just the frosting.
