BCM - How did your life change when you became a mom?

Bethenny - Everything else became inconsequential. I started to say no to other things and cleared the way to be able to spend every single moment possible with my sweet little angel.

BCM - What has been the biggest challenge for you in motherhood.  

Bethenny -I can't let go. I have guilt and anxiety missing even a moment-even if it's when I'm showering or eating. I don't want to miss anything. It whips by.

BCM - How can busy, stressed-out, exhausted moms find room for exercise?

Bethenny -I work out at home. I alternate doing my "Body by Bethenny" DVD with doing 30 to 40 minutes on the elliptical.

BCM - What are some of your favorite tips or tricks for eating healthfully?

Bethenny -Your diet is a bank account. My book "Naturally Thin" will teach you how to unleash your skinnygirl for life.

BCM - What motivates you to work so hard?

Bethenny -I have been broke most of my adult life and I just wanted to know that I could make it. However I just wanted to be able to pay my rent. Business is way more important to me than money.

BCM - Do you have any advice to share for other moms juggling successful careers while raising a young family?

Bethenny - Just try to get a good night's sleep. Balance ain't gonna happen.

BCM - What surprises you most about motherhood?

Bethenny -How single mothers with several children and no help do it is a miracle and mystery. I find it challenging peeing, pulling up my pants and buttoning them while holding a baby.

BCM - What types of activities do you like to do w/ Bryn?

Bethenny -Lunch, mani/pedis, we take walks, she travels with me, comes to work, eating, singing, everything!

BCM - What was the inspiration behind your latest book - "A Place Of Yes, 10 Rules For Getting Everything You Want Out Of Life?"

Bethenny -Women kept asking me how I got here and how it all happened. I wrote this book for my incredible fans to show them the way.

BCM - You've overcome a lot of struggles both personal and professional to achieve your success. What changed within you?

Bethenny -I constantly check in with myself and try to be a better person

BCM - What's the most important message you hope readers take away from your book?

Bethenny - All roads lead to Rome. It is about the journey not the destination but you will get there. Just be on the road. Things will get in the way, you may get derailed but get back on. Always be moving forward.
