EP71: OLIVIA CARIDI - Bachelor Production and Self Destruction

I am SO excited to be sharing this episode with Bachelor Legend and Podcast Extraordinaire, Olivia Caridi!  Olivia first came into the public eye when she was a contestant on Season 20 of The Bachelor, during which she immediately caught the eye of Ben Higgins.  However, her connection with Ben fizzled out when the producers saw her confidence as a trait that could be molded into a character flaw.  After being portrayed as the season's villain, Olivia's mental health plummeted and she suffered with depression for several years.  However, being the strong, confident person that she is, Olivia was able to garner the resilience to start her own podcast in which she gives reality stars the platform to share their own stories, without any meddling from producers.  Olivia is such an inspiration for aspiring podcasters like me and young women everywhere, I have absolutely no doubt that everyone will LOVE this episode.  Plus, if you stay tuned until the end, you will here Olivia and I discuss our predictions for Matt James' season!  You can follow Olivia on Instagram @oliviacaridi and listen to her podcast Mouthing Off with Olivia wherever you stream your podcasts!
