Obviously, you're going through a very, very public breakup right now. It's like not under the best circumstances that we're sitting down together. I think it was a shock to the world. We're going to find out today if it was a shock to you. But just like overall, how are you doing right now?
um it's different every day i'm doing okay i would say some days are better than others like one day i'm like feeling kind of empowered i'm like you know what yeah it's okay like i'm excited to be on my own and then the next day i like can barely get out of bed and i just miss him and i'm sad about everything um so yeah it just comes and goes it's different every day
I think that like why I especially want to talk to you today and what we're going to get into, though, is like even you just saying that is so relatable. Like probably everyone watching this has been through a breakup and a breakup is like not linear where you're like one day like, oh, my God, I'm perfect again.

i obviously want to talk to you about everything that's happened but first i do think it's kind of important we just kind of go back to like when you met matt on the bachelor why did you want to go on that show oh my gosh it's actually a funny story i didn't want to go on the show okay did not sign myself up for the show my friends nominated me and they didn't tell me that they nominated me i think they put in
Just some, you know, the filled out the online thing and I got a call. I was grocery shopping. It was like middle of COVID.

Got a text from the same phone number. Didn't open the text. I was like this.
I thought it was like a job. I was applying for jobs everywhere. It was like one of those things where it was like, you know, I don't think anyone knew what was going on in the world. So I just was seeing what could happen. And so I thought it was a job getting back to me And then I got a voicemail.
