She recently shared her candid thoughts about living in Connecticut.

Builders originally constructed the historic three-acre Greenwich colonial mansion, dubbed Applejack Farm, in 1743. While the home is stunning, Bethenny just did not enjoy life there and <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/articles\/bethenny-frankel-sells-greenwich-home-164026927.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:sold the home;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">sold the home<\/a> for $7.39 million after moving to Florida.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Bethenny Frankel found living in Connecticut \u201cdepressing\u201d before her Miami move<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cConnecticut was a prison. That\u2019s the honest truth,\u201d Bethenny shared on her Just B podcast. \u201cI could say it another way, but for my personality, at this point in my life, Connecticut was a burden. It was a trap. It was stifling, depressing, and soul-crushing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Strong words indeed, but Bethenny has <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/bethenny-frankel-slams-harry-hamlin-183230107.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:never been one to hold back;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">never been one to hold back<\/a> or sugarcoat her opinion. She clarified that she didn\u2019t feel that way because of the state of Connecticut itself, but because of her life there.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cBecause I am older, I spend a lot of time alone, and I work a lot. I want to feel every day like I\u2019m connected to some version of nature. And while I would walk in Connecticut and go on nature walks, now every day I jump in the ocean,\u201d she explained. \u201cI am in salt water, I walk on the sand and feel the sand in my feet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">She added that she can\u2019t believe this \u201cgets to be her life now.\u201d Bethenny <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/articles\/bethenny-frankel-reveals-real-reason-154910270.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:moved to Miami in April;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">moved to Miami in April <\/a>for personal and professional reasons. The main reason was for her daughter, Bryn Hoppy, to support her academic and athletic goals. Now, she is loving living in the Sunshine State.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cSome people love the mountains, some people love the lake, some people love the desert or concrete jungle. I like the ocean and jumping in the water,\u201d Bethenny said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">She shared that she couldn\u2019t be happier with the life she\u2019s built for herself.
