Summary

Ben Higgins—best known from The Bachelor—joins Ginny Yurich for a rare, honest conversation about what it’s like to be visible to millions and still feel deeply alone. Ben shares how a painful childhood marked by his father's illness, a career-ending injury, and addiction shaped his hunger to be seen, and why fame never healed the ache he hoped it would. This episode traces the turning points that changed his life: choosing connection over numbing, faith over performance, and purpose over applause. From carrying heartbreak in public, to building a marriage and becoming a father, to telling other people’s stories through his book Alone in Plain Sight, Ben reflects on what actually makes a life meaningful. This is a conversation for anyone who’s ever felt overlooked, misunderstood, or exhausted by pretending. It's a reminder to show up where your feet are.
