Real Housewives of New York compared her life in Connecticut to prison, Bethenny Frankel boasted about recent move to Florida during her Just B podcast.
The Emancipation of B:
“Connecticut was a prison,” explained Bryn’s mom. “That’s the honest truth.”
“I could say it another way, but for my personality, at the point of my life, Connecticut was a burden. It was a trap.”
“It was stifling, depressing, soul-crushing.” But, B didn’t feel this way because of the state of Connecticut itself, “which is beautiful.” The issues was her “life there.”
“Because I am older, I spend a lot of time alone, I work a lot. I want to feel every day like I’m connected to some version of nature. And while I would walk in Connecticut and go on nature walks, and it was nice, now every day I jump in the ocean. I am in the salt water. I walk on the sand. I feel the sand in my feet,” she continued.
“I can’t believe this gets to be my life. This is what connects me to the Earth. Some people love the mountains, some people love a lake, some people love a desert, some people love a cactus, some people love an open field. Love what you want. Some people love the concrete jungle. I like the ocean and jumping in the water.”
Frankel added that she “could not be happier” now because all she needs is to be able to “connect to the ocean.”
Hotel living is over for B:
The former RHONY star also said she’s happy having roots in multiple places instead of having to stay in hotels. “So my life is, now that I have a better relationship with New York, I have a place in Miami. I have another place in Florida.”
“I have created the greatest life for myself, where I don’t stay in hotels in New York or in Miami. I have a beautiful home there if I want to go there to do work, or to go on a date, or to have fun, or to go out and dance, or to drink. I’ve worked so hard and I still work so hard to get to live this life.”
Bethenny has to remind herself that her life now is real. “It feels a little bit like I’ve never felt imposter syndrome in what I have and in what I’ve earned and what I’ve created and how much money I have or fame or any of that stuff. I have some cousin of imposter syndrome where I can’t believe that this is my life.”
