Bethenny Frankel is featured in the Summer 2012 issue of Michigan Avenue!
In the issue she talks living in Chicago in the early 2000:
“I really didn’t know anybody. I would go to the East Bank Club and try to stretch my workout as long as I could, just to have something to do during the day. You could really kind of hang out there. I don’t have any place like that in New York. It was a transitional time. I really didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life. But I knew it was time to hit my stride. It may seem bizarre, but when I think of Chicago, I think of omelets. I miss the omelets.”
She talks her new talk show Bethenny:
“It’s important to have a point of view,” says Frankel. Fans of her Bravo show, Bethenny Ever After, can testify that she’s brimming with that. What would she bring to daytime? “Being honest, being relatable, having fun…being me,” she says.
She talks having boundaries:
She won’t talk about Hoppy’s business or confirm her own profits, but that’s about it—with one small exception. “The interaction with the baby on camera is very limited,” says Frankel. “That’s just not a choice that she is old enough to make.” She considers being there for Bryn her “biggest success.” If Frankel is traveling somewhere for more than a day, she brings her daughter along. “I’m able to be with her for every meal, every bath. I’m there when she wakes up from every nap,” says Frankel. “I think that’s definitely what my definition of success is.”
Bethenny premieres Monday, May 11–check your local listings!
