Bravo's Real Housewives of New York City star Bethenny Frankel sat down with Premier Guide Miami to talk about her new docu-series "Bethenny Gets Married?", her departure from the Housewives franchise, balancing motherhood and career, her Skinnygirl empire, and why she has nothing left to say to Jill Zarin.. Premier Guide Miami sat down to find out what that means — and what comes next.

Bravo's Real Housewives of New York City star Bethenny Frankel has dispensed with drama and chaos for a more intimate and focused lifestyle. The fast-talking New Yorker now stars in her own docu-series, "Bethenny Gets Married?" — an intimate look into her life as she juggles motherhood, career, and falling in love with New York businessman Jason Hoppy. Notwithstanding all the drama that surrounded her in season three of the Real Housewives, Bethenny had an amazing year: two New York Times bestsellers, a successful Skinnygirl cocktail line, a new baby, and a hit series that debuted as Bravo's highest-rated premiere with over two million viewers.

PGM: Is "Bethenny Gets Married?" a departure from the Real Housewives of New York City?

Bethenny Frankel: Absolutely. I think everyone at Bravo is actually surprised by that. It is so different. You get into the details of my life, my relationship with my husband, what it is like for me to get down the aisle pregnant, and all the changes in my life. It is really funny, but also emotional and not catty. I do not have to yell at anyone for it to be entertaining. I don't have to be at a cocktail or charity event and rip someone a new one for it to be entertaining. That just gives you a headache.

PGM: So no more Real Housewives of New York City?

Bethenny Frankel: I don't know. If I were in a lesser role, maybe. It's enough. What else is there to do? It is the top of the party and I really want to leave.

PGM: On balancing career and motherhood:

Bethenny Frankel: I have learned how to be balanced, reasonable, and not obsessive. The good news is my office is at my house and the filming crew works around me. All the seeds I have planted have grown up. Skinnygirl Margarita is nationwide, my books are New York Times bestsellers. It is hard with breastfeeding — I am not Julia Roberts. I haven't been successful all these years where I could take time off and be on a farm as a homemaker.

Love Miami

Love Miami covers the city's conversations — the interviews, the creative voices, the tastemakers and innovators who define South Florida's cultural identity. This is the pillar where Miami speaks for itself.

PGM: On pregnancy likes and dislikes:

Bethenny Frankel: Dislike: not being able to wear my shoes. The wheels came off after my wedding — I was like a big balloon. Likes: feeling like a woman, you feel special, like a miracle. I like that it was a whole experience, something new every day. I also liked the red velvet cake at the Cheesecake Factory.

PGM: On weight loss and diet after pregnancy:

Bethenny Frankel: Women should be healthy before and after their pregnancy. I did not do anything drastic. The entire time I was pregnant I ate sensibly with a bit of indulgence. If I wanted cheesecake for lunch, I had it, but not for dinner. Your diet is your bank account — I guess I had a bigger bank account. Walking and yoga helped.

PGM: On Jill Zarin:

Bethenny Frankel: She is not in my life anymore, and this is the time I want people who are good for me and good for my family. What am I going to say to Jill? I have nothing to say to Jill. When she announced the birth of my baby on Twitter, my honest reaction was: she can't get out of her own way.
