00:00You look so happy out there does this feel like maybe the start of a new
00:04journey a new chapter for you and what have you been joining?
00:06Yeah absolutely it's been a sort of a new journey for me it's a sort of a
00:10journey for me just pouring energy back into myself and really just healing and
00:14focusing on me and it's been truly amazing I've always wanted to be on
00:18Dancing with the Stars I've always wanted to learn how to dance and it just
00:22feels really good to be able to conquer a fear almost too because I do have
00:26stage fright and it was like kind of scary to be out there but I had so much
00:29fun. Has the rehearsals and putting everyday work into this helped like keep
00:35focus and maybe drown out outside stuff and like just like raise your focus on
00:39one item? Yeah absolutely I mean obviously there's a lot going on and for
00:44me the best part of it all is again I could just pour energy into myself and
00:47focus on something that I've always wanted to do and Sasha's been great too
00:51just helping me out being such a positive light every day so yeah okay
00:59okay and you need to button your shirt. We love that and in your personal life
01:02has there been someone who's been a big cheerleader and kind of helped motivate
01:06you along this way? Someone in my life? Yeah who in your life has been like your personal cheerleader here?
01:12He's been really great honestly we spend so much time together I feel like we're just like best
01:17friends so quickly and he's really really helped and yeah I mean my brother
01:22obviously he's been so great as well my mom just all my friends and family have
01:26really come together and also my community online have just come together
01:30to support me and I couldn't be more grateful for it truly. That's wonderful to
01:35hear. Has your time on The Bachelor helped you as far as like any lessons
01:39when you learned being on that show? Have you applied them to being here as
01:42far as like you know just like how to be on a show and how you carry yourself?
01:49Two very different shows but I think with being on The Bachelor and The Bachelorette I
01:54just have to be myself and give it everything I can and do it with an open
01:59heart and I'm doing the same thing here as like being myself doing the best I
02:02can and doing it with an open heart so absolutely it's definitely helped me.
