In this episode, we chat with creative entrepreneur, author, artist, reality star, and content creator, Annaliese Puccini. She talks us through her time being on “The Bachelor” and “Bachelor in Paradise”, and how life went on after that, especially during the time she lost her father. She also talks about how our past can eventually take hold of our views on dating, and what she thinks is an important thing when getting into a relationship. [3:34] Rapid Questions “I’ve always been that. They just projected me in a light so that people would just think life started after The Bachelor.” [7:48] The Bachelor “Once you’re in this pressure cooker environment, oh my God. You do not recognize the person that you become sometimes.” [17:04] Watching a Stranger “So many of my close friends were like ‘I couldn’t watch you on the show because it wasn’t you.’” [23:40] Behind The Scenes “They made it seem like a very one-sided relationship, like he wasn’t as in to it, but then, the things that were said between us or were caught on camera even, but weren’t aired, was a very mutual thing.” [26:35] Break-up and Loss “Everyone was assuming that it was because of the break-up, and I was like ‘No, I don’t care about that’. There’s much bigger things going on in my life; life and death things.” [32:40] Daddy’s girl “I was so much like my dad. I think that’s why I pushed him away for so long, because it scared me that I might turn into him, and I desperately didn’t want to be like my dad.” [39:08] Blinded “Sometimes it’s very hidden. It takes a long time to see those things, so when you see it in somebody, like recognizing what it is, what may be things that you were overlooking because you liked them.” [42:06] Dating “I love my family, but maybe I need to spend a little bit more time independently or with other people.” [54:20] Bringing Something to the Table “When you feel confident in that area, then you just like exude confidence in other areas too. And it just makes you feel like ‘I don’t need you’, and that’s the best thing, is to not need someone.”   Follow Annaliese on instagram @annaliesep Please download, rate & review this episode and share it with friends!  Connect with Kelly here: Rejection to Redemption, self love course Feeling stuck & burnt out?
