Juliana Pascarosa, welcome to train seekers. Thanks for coming on.

Thanks for having.

How are you, it has been, of everyone that we're having on today, it has been an absolute whirlwind for you, a quick sprint into the mayhem of everything. How are, how are you doing? I'm doing good. Yeah. Everybody's been so awesome here. It's been so fun. Like, life has just taken on a ride of its own, and I'm just buckled in. You're buckled in. You are buckled in. and not only are you buckled in, but the one and only Rachel Kirkconnell's buckled in. She's behind us there. We love it. Another cameo. All right. So talk to me about life before you went on The Bachelor. What did it look like for you? Career-wise and just all things. It was actually funny. I had just left my job of five years

when I got the initial call for The Bachelor. What was that job? It was for a broker-dealer. So still in

the finance world. And I accepted my new job with a wealth management financial planning firm.

And I'm still with them. But it's been, I don't know, I think I do a lot of the same things I did before,

so it's just kind of like managing new things like this trip and meeting all these new people

and trying to kind of just like make time for that as well. Before we get into that, tell me a little

bit about what you do in wealth management. I work with the financial advisor who, of course,

he does asset management in a sense in wealth management. I work with the financial advisor who of course he does asset management

in a sense in wealth management but he also has like a network of individuals where he looks at

like your whole financial picture and kind of like incorporates everything. So, you know, we work

with some really cool people, people who are really invested in like their future and just like want to know more about like their financial life and how things kind of correlate. Sure. And yeah, so I'm kind of like I'm the point of contact for a lot of them. They'll call me to get to him and I'm like in charge of his calendar and his life a little bit, which is cool and he's's awesome, and Winthrop Wealth is amazing.

Yeah. How do you have a job like that and then go on a reality show? Like, what did that? How did you ask them off? Oh my gosh. Yeah. It was crazy. I kind of sprung it on them a little bit. And I was just like, listen, like my sister signed me up. I just got the call. They want me to go. and it was a conversation for a little bit. You know, at first, it was,

if you go, like, this job's not going to be here for you. Sure. And then they took some time, and then they came back. And they were like, okay, we'll give you like X amount of weeks. And if you're not back by then, we're going to fill your role. And then it was like, just go, we'll support you. will hold your position, blah, blah, blah.

And they were so awesome that they even, like,

helped throw a party for the first episode at my favorite restaurant with all my friends and

family. Wow. All right. So they were supportive. They said go. Did you have any reservations

on going on the show? Totally. Oh my gosh. I mean, I am like a private person, which has been so hard for me to

kind of like join this new space because I like my people. I like my life. But now I'm kind

of opening up doors and possibilities. So I'm trying to navigate that. But I also was single for
