Episode 256: In this week's episode, Nat chats with Bachelor alumni Susie Evans! Susie, a multi-faceted creative, shares her eclectic background, from her Virginia roots and global adventures to launching her own photography business. Her entry into the The Bachelor world was as unexpected as it was transformative, offering her a platform that propelled her into a career of content creation. Beyond the glitz, Susie opens up about her experience on reality TV, the mental health toll it can take, and reveals what really happens behind the scenes. She also gets real about navigating a relationship in the public eye, how she and fellow Bachelor alumni Justin Glaze got out of the friend zone, and the complexities of working together. Through it all, Susie's story is a testament to adaptability, resilience, and the unexpected paths life can take you when you embrace opportunity!
