Hello, everyone, and welcome back to a brand new episode

of the Financial Confessions.

It is me, your host, founder and CEO of the Financial Diet,

Chelsea Fagan.

I'm also a person who just loves talking about money.

And today, the kind of money we are talking about

is one of our most hotly requested subjects

for basically all three seasons of the financial confessions.

As a lot of you guys know, I am a bit of a watcher of reality television, although I have to be honest before bringing on our guest, that I haven't personally been a big follower of the Bachelor Universe, although to say several of our employees, our devotees, would be an understatement. There is always Bachelor Universe. Sorry, Bachelor Nation. Is that way you guys call yourselves? Oh, sorry. There's always Bachelor Nation discourse happening in the company Slack. And I'm generally sort of like passively aware of what's going on in the zeitgeist. And obviously for those of you who saw it, and if you didn't know, link you in the description, we did do a video at deep dive all about the finances of that particular show, for which I did obviously some research. But I've wanted for a while to talk to someone who's actually been through the experience themselves and who is both willing and able to talk about it from a financial perspective. Quite frankly, most reality TV people just don't, whether that's because they don't think of it

through a financial lens or they don't want

to talk about the finances.

I have a feeling it's probably often the latter.

But in any case, our guest today is someone

who we saw openly talking about the finances

of her time on the show and after the show as well

from a financial perspective.

So I knew I had to get her on the show.

And lo and behold, she accepted.

So without further ado, my guest today is contestant from season 22 of The Bachelor.

She is also co-host of the Chatty Broad's podcast.

And she is a 26-year-old mother of two and absolute sensation on Instagram.

I could go on, but I won't.
