Summary

Today I’m joined by Stefanie Parker from the She’s All Bach podcast as I open up about my big return to television — and yes, it’s on HGTV! We chat all about filming The Bachelor Mansion Takeover (premiering this February), what inspired me to say yes to reality TV again, and how it felt stepping back into the spotlight after years away.

I also share the excitement, the nerves, and what it was like leaving my kids at home to take on this once-in-a-lifetime experience. Plus, we touch on a few Bachelor Nation updates — from Gerry Turner’s tell-all to a surprising contestant apology. No spoilers here.
