Kim Richards appears to be staying on the healthy track.

After a difficult summer that included legal troubles and a stay in rehab, the former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star is happy to tell fans that life around her has taken a turn for the better.

"Everything is good…It's a good time for me right now," she revealed on Brandi Glanville's podcast titled Brandi Glanville Unfiltered. "I'm really happy things are going good."

Her daily routine also appears to be a little less dramatic now that she's not documenting her life for reality TV. E! News previously confirmed that Richards and Glanville would not be returning to the Bravo reality series. While filming is well underway for the new season, both ladies feel a lot less stressed.

"We were both saying it's relaxing for us and we're not so stressed out with everything that we would normally be stressed out with," Glanville explained. "We wake up with smiles on our face and we don't have to deal with the drama."

Richards added with a laugh, "Well, not every day. It's good. It's better now. It was a rough time for a bit there but it's just putting everything back in order and just really focusing on my family and me."

Today, Kyle Richards and Kathy Hilton's sister says that she remains close with her children. Her relationship with ex-husband Monty Brinson remains great. And while some challenges and hurdles could be in her future, Kim has developed a mindset that has proven to be helpful.

 "Living in the present for me is just the best way and it's the only way for me today," she explained. "Realizing today is beautiful and I'm super grateful for right now and all who's in it."
