The world met Desiree Hartsock Siegfried as an ABC Bachelor contestant and star of Season 9 of ABC’s The Bachelorette and quickly fell in love with this down-to-earth girl looking for love. But those shows were really only the beginning of her journey that led her to marrying her husband who she met on the show, becoming a mother of two boys, creating her Desiree Hartsock Bridal line, and launching The Heart of Purpose podcast. Desiree lives life in Oregon with her family and you can connect with her at www.DesireeSiegfried.com.
We chatted about:
- The path for her book The Road to Roses
- The season before she was cast for the Bachelor and her Cinderella experience sewing the dress for her limo entrance and learning cost effective ways to look amazing on camera
- Her second chance coming back to be The Bachelorette - what was different and was she nervous/excited?
- Something she wishes people knew that they didn't see on the show
- How she knew Chris was the one + encouragement for listeners searching for "the one"
- The season AFTER the show - she moved to a new city (which was isolating), with a new man, a new job, and dealt with new fame
