Hi, guys.

Welcome back to I-do Part 2.

It's your celebrity mentor, Jen Fessler, and I am sure you, like me, have been hooked on the Golden Bachelor and Golden Bachelorette. Amazing people looking for love. And this time on Bachelor in Paradise, they also brought the Goldens. I'm excited because she was well liked on Paradise, even though she wasn't there for long, but she's still out there dating and we're going to get into it all.

Welcome, April Kirkwood. Thank you. Yeah, I love doing the Paradise Show because I got to really

be myself. The first time I was on Bachelor, I had just lost somebody, Ralph.

Right, right.

So I wasn't quite in my gig, and I had never watched the show. So I really came in kind of

blindsided due to my, you know, own choosing of really not studying about it.

So then I took a couple years off, grew into myself and healed,

and now you get to see all those many facets of me, the inner child, the spitfire,

the spiritual one.

Well, yeah.

I mean, definitely there was a shift from watching The Bachelor to Bachelor in Paradise.

But could we start out because it's really, really interesting.

I think it could be really insightful for our listeners talking a little bit about your history in terms of relationships.

I think a lot of listeners who have watched the show know that you've,

you know, been through it a bit, especially.

You lost, I want to say you lost your partner over two years,

of 21 years over two years ago, right?

Right.
