Bethenny Frankel is going through a bitter divorce and a nasty custody battle but she says that her motto for managing her life is: "you don’t complain, you don’t explain."
The 42-year-old mom appeared on the new talk show The Real where she explained how she’s juggling working on her own show and parenting her 3-year-old daughter, Bryn Hoppy.
“It’s just like Nike says – you just do it. You have to be organized, what choice do you have? You don’t complain, you don’t explain,” she said matter-of-factly.
Bethenny said her philosophy is an old fashioned good work ethic.
“I always say pros play hurt. You’re tired too bad. I’m so lucky I have such a blessed life. I’m organized, I’m on my game.”
She said that she is able to compartmentalize between being a mom and being a talk show host.
“When I’m working I’m working and then the second I’m not working I’m with my daughter and that’s all I want to do. It’s just quality time.
