Ep. 10 - I'm Here For The Right Reasons

In this episode I’m joined by my friend, social media influencer and owner of The Social Vine, Stephanie Llewellyn. For the first time in many years, I watched the season premiere of The Bachelor with Matt James. We break it all down for you with a behind-the-scenes look at what really goes down that first night. We talk about how much things have changed, yet stayed the same (think buzz words like “journey” and being there “for the right reasons”) since my time on the show. If you like the Bachelor, you won’t want to miss this!

Have you been a Bachelor and Bachelorette fan since the beginning? If so, you might remember me, Jen Schefft, one of the show’s original stars. I “won” the proposal from The Bachelor Andrew Firestone on season 3 of the infamous ABC television series, that relationship ultimately ended, but I was given another chance at finding love as The Bachelorette - and I was the first Bachelor or Bachelorette star in the show’s history not to make a match! The backlash I experienced led to me writing a book, Better Single Than Sorry: A No-Regrets Guide to Loving Yourself and Never Settling. After leaving the limelight, I DID find love, and married Joe Waterman, who I met on a blind date. We left Chicago after close to 20 years, and settled into an adorable little Ohio suburb outside of Cleveland with our two daughters, Mae and Charlotte. From The Bachelor To The Burbs chronicles my life as it is now - a relatable 44-year-old suburban wife and mother of 2, dealing with all the joys and struggles that come life’s way. From chatting about the Bachelor and my incredible experiences on the show to commiserating about the highs and lows that come with marriage, parenting, working, health, beauty and aging - you won’t want to miss it! Will you accept this rose, and join me on this journey?
