There's more to Brooke Blurton than what you see on TV

What does it take to try and find love on national television, not just once, but three times? Brooke Blurton made TV history this year when she became the world's first openly bisexual Bachelorette. Not only was she representing the LGBTQIA+ community, but she also had the pressure of being the world's first Indigenous Bachelorette too. If that sounds like a lot of pressure...it is!  In this episode, Brooke shares with Sean about carrying the expectations of the different communities she represents, balancing the pressure for television ratings versus starting important conversations, becoming an accidental advocate and gaining confidence through owning her truth.
