[Music] What's up? What's up, y'all? Welcome back to What's the Reality. Today, I have a beautiful, stunning guest with me. I have Taylor Krauss from season 7 of Love is Blind with me today. And let me let me correct myself because I was just corrected. It's what is your what is your name again? Full name? Um, Yoseman's Krauss. Yo's Krauss. Okay. Don't play with my girl. They combine their names. Not a lot of people do this, but maybe this was just our very like logical people brains like at the time that it's traditional for a woman to take a man's last name. At the time, I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm not sure if I'm ready for that. It doesn't it doesn't feel like I've thought through this. And for him, he was like, I I feel like also that you should be taking my last name, but I don't know why. Right? we need to think about like what are the reasons why we're feeling this way and then we compromised by saying okay well you feel like you still want me to take your last name I still want to keep part of my last name but I think it would be fair if we both changed our last name um so then we ended up just hyphenating our names together and Yoseman's Krauss just was alphabetical and sounded better and just worked out that way I love that I love that. I love like unconventional but works for you. And I think that is such the epitome of marriage. Like it doesn't make sense to everybody else. Doesn't have to. This is what we agreed on. It works for us. I love that is literally like the epitome of a great way of saying it. Like unconventional, but works for you. I love that. Thank you. So, welcome to What's the Reality. Thank you for having me. Of course, girl. So, it's been almost a year since your season aired. catch me up on what's going on since I last saw you and I like to call him G because you call him G. Yeah. But since you and Garrett said I do at the alter. Catch me up. So we recently moved to Washington DC. Um which is amazing. We bought a house together. A duplex, y'all. She's so modest. She is a landlord, y'all. I own property. Yes. With a man. And you do crazy lifeing. Um, which is like a really, you know, I think that's a big milestone in a relationship. And like for me personally, I didn't think that I'd be doing that this quickly and moving back to a city that I love and like where we fell in love. And so, um, it's very new. We just met all of our neighbors and figuring out all the things that go with the house. But yeah, it's been an adventure for sure. I know. I kind of saw your journey on social media. Like every time I would go through like your stories, I'd be like this girl, are they ever going to find a house? Are they ever going to find? And then you end up find the most beautiful place. And then I love the post that you guys made like with your like the pictures that you guys took like outside and it's just so pretty, just so modern and very DC. We're there's some anxiety about making that post because obviously we live in a digital world with like crazy people, but I you we could be cautious, but I don't want to be live in fear. I want to be able to share the really happy moments like buying a house is a is a big fun moment. So, thank you. I appreciate that. Oh my gosh. Okay. So, what have you been up to since season seven? Oh, super bored. Nothing's been going on. Um can't tell. I what it's been a blur. I can't believe it's only it hasn't even been a year since you know my secret marriage became right. Public knowledge, right? Public knowledge. Um but I think a lot of it's just been I think getting used to the new reality of like living a public life and being married. Uh your relationship is just always evolving together and you're meeting I'm still meeting family. He's still meeting family. We're still combining lives. it doesn't happen overnight. Um, and so I think the biggest thing is moving to a new city together on just like starting our new life together in a lot of ways. I love that. So are there any like new work or passion projects that you're currently working on? So I was working in policy for almost 10 years. I was working at a think tank and then um obviously we had a really big election that completely changed what my life looked like overnight. I was doing I was doing content creation part-time and really trying to work with brands that I I think align with my values um and ended up being able to do that at a full-time capacity and just wasn't feeling fulfilled by my job and policy anymore. So, I recently have gone full-time content creation, which welcome to the dark side. Yeah. I'm like, "Wow, everyone's going I felt very anxious about making the decision and feeling the the judgment, but I I got over it." And I genuinely think that there's so many different ways that you can work on content creation that are fulfilling and fun and creative and it's a once in a-lifetime opportunity to jump into it. So, I'm right now some tips from you, girl. Girl, just listen. If it makes money, it makes sense. That's my tip. It's fun. It's hard, but it's worth it. And as you can see, it's pretty lucrative. And um if you get a chance to like show people that you can influence them in different ways and not just from beauty and hair and clothes and stuff, then I think the impact of for content creation is bit bigger. you know, talk about things that you care about that that you actually Yeah. care about. Um, so how's Garrett and why isn't he here? We kind of miscommunicated about being on the podcast. I told him I was coming to LA and doing some podcasts and he's like, "Cool, I'll go fishing." Oh. So, he's out on a boat right now. Okay. Fishing. Okay. Um, but yeah, that's surprising news. He's he loves fishing when we come out to California and can get the opportunity. So, but he's been doing really well. He's still doing his full-time job. Um, obviously, it's super different for guys versus like women coming from um reality television. So, um it's it doesn't really make sense for him to become a full-time content creator. I don't know if that's exactly what he even wants to do, but we've been just having a ton of fun doing it together. Do you guys get recognized a lot? Oh, all the time. Yeah. Yeah. How's that been? Um, it's fine. I I've gotten used to it, which like feels weird. It's mostly when we're together. Yeah. That people recognize us more. I think they're like, "Oh, that's it." But most of the time, everyone's like super nice and pleasant. There's been, you know, a couple instances where it's like, "Oh, this is my personal space." But besides that, like, it's been fine. You know, it's so funny. I'll go out with like Olly and I'll be holding his hand like we'll be in the mall holding hands and then somebody will walk up to me and be like, "Oh my god, congratulations on your baby and your engagement and then they'll look at him like so yeah, congratulations." And he's like, "Do who do they think you're with right now?" Like who? Like they don't even acknowledge him. They'll just be like and then like there'll be times where they'll walk up to Olly and they'll be like, "Hey Ollie, you're from Love is Blind. I love you." And I'm just like, "Hello." Hello. Well, that might change, right? once like Perfect Match comes out, right? You know what? It might. Who knows? So, how has your relationship with Garrett grown and evolved since you got married? Um, it's drastically evolved and grown. I think when you go from being a completely single woman, Yeah. who's probably learned a lot of lessons about men. You go into it, I think, having a certain like idea of like how to expect things to go, but you can't do that in a marriage. I think you're always evolving and figuring out what are those person's triggers? Am I being um am I bringing something to the conversation? If you ever have a disagreement that is from previous relationships and when you're bringing two lives together that were super independent before and then like put through this like meat grinder social experiment an experiment. Yeah. And then um you have the world overnight weigh in on it and the human brain is not supposed to have that much attention and we have these little phones that tell you what to think and um different opinions. It's been it was crazy but we've come out so much stronger from it and I think have given each other a lot of grace and accountability. Um so it's been a beautiful process. I love to hear that there's been quite a bit of time between the show wrapping and airing. Did you and Garrett ever have any marital hiccups? This is actually going to be the third divorce exclusive that AG did. Not today. Not today. The rumors are true. Not today. Um I'm sorry. What was the question again? Oh, I'm just going to I'm so triggered by that word divorce. No, I'm just I'm wondering has there been any marital hiccups in your relationship since the show wrapped and aired? Um, I guess like I don't know about any huge hiccups, but in terms of disagreements, low moments, of course, our relationship is not it's not perfect. It's perfect for us, but like in terms of it being a really incredible way to have met someone in a fairy tale in its own ways, it's still a real marriage. We don't we don't always disagree. I can be grumpy. He can be grumpy. There's something where we don't see eye to eye on. So, it does it does happen. But the way we've gotten so much better at communicating, you know, when you have a boyfriend and you get in a fight, you're like, I'm not going to talk to you for a couple of days. Yeah. Yeah. I'm going to put you on ice. Yeah. Can't really do that with a husband. No. You have to be really You have to both be respectful of each other and talk through it. And that was really hard for me. I think when we first started our marriage in such an incredible way and I moved to a smaller town where I didn't have my friends and family. I wasn't expecting to live here and still processing like a big life decision like that. So, it was not perfect. But in terms of like a specific instance, I can't think of a really terrible one. I love that for you. Oh, thank you. I really do love that because love is blind. Love is tough. And like all relationships have their things, but when you go through it, what we went through in such a short amount of time, not only are you still getting to know your person, but now you're still you're getting to know a version of you that didn't exist 6 weeks ago. It's a good way to put it. And you're trying to like figure out you and figure out your person and figure out this new life. And it's it's hard. It's very hard. It it's amazing the I think the process, but if you can get through that with your person, it's like a marriage boot camp. Yeah. In a way. I feel like it. Yeah. We're very lucky to have had the opportunity and the process, but it was it was hard. So, the first year of marriage is known to be the toughest. What advice do you give future Love is blind couples? The advice that I give future love is blind couples is that there there is no perfect way to do it. You need to figure out with your partner what works for you guys and that you're each other's number one. Yeah. You obviously need to take care of yourself first. It's I think my biggest thing is mental health with the process. I thought I was a very mentally strong and confident woman going into it and um it was really tough on me and if I'm not showing up for myself, it's hard for me to show up for my partner. And so you guys need to just constantly communicate and figure out what your relationship needs. Just like communicate, communicate, communicate. Like we had daily check-ins when it was going on. And um we also had I like mental health resources making sure that you're talking maybe with a licensed professional that has a third party in there to help out. Yeah, let's get some sage advice in here. Yeah. So, yeah, that would be my biggest like recommendation is is making sure that you're overly communicating and making sure that you're checking in on each other constantly. Yeah, that's really good. I always say like if people are like, "If I were to go on Love is Blind, what would you say?" And I'd be like, "Go to therapy first, then go on the show, and then go on therapy after." Always like a therapy sandwich. I would recommend 100% whether you end up married or you get engaged and it doesn't work out. therapy sandwich is what I like to say because you you don't you like you said you think you're this strong confident person and you are in essence but this world is it's a little bit different. It's really weird if you like know exactly how to handle this. But, you know, you sit there for a year, they tell you that you have resources that can help you. Um, you're your own adult. You can decide to do that. I'm really glad that I worked with a therapist for 6 months before the show aired, so we got to know each other. There's more background rather than kind of waiting when you're in a crisis. Finding a therapist is not a straightforward process. It's really hard. that you think you Yeah, we don't talk about it enough, but it was it was not easy for me to find a therapist. Love you, Keller. You're the best. But um I love mine, too. Amazing. Doing the Lord's work. Purple hearts around for our therapists. They need a support group for I know. I know. I wish I could have my therapist on this couch, but then that would be weird, right? I think they're not allowed to do that kind of stuff. No. Yeah. I've never met mine in person. No. But we can have a therapist on c on the couch. Not mine, per se. So, a big conversation for you and Garrett on the show and after the show was where you guys were going to live. We kind of talked about it a little bit, but how did you work through that and decide on DC? So, on the show, it made it seem like we were going to move to San Diego immediately, which was actually not the case. Um, we were planning to do digital nomading, which sounds really cool, and we kind of did that a little bit between the show, and it's exhausting, especially for like a new couple that should probably work on their marriage. Um, we decided that San Diego was something that could happen later, but for him, he was really struggling with the idea of not being close to his family, not being where he grew up his entire life. And he got a lot of for that. And I empathize ob me like above everyone should be upset about it. But when I really love my husband, I see a future with him. I know that your relationship can evolve and maybe my husband needs more time. Maybe I could change my mind. Like let's find what a middle ground is for where we can give our marriage the best shot possible. And so DC, ironic, ended up back in the city that, you know, the show was based out of. Um, so it it was a happy medium and we really love DC. It's close. It's an hour and a half away from his family and friends. We come back to California often. I have family and friends in DC. So that's how we ended up there. And we're open to what the future has. We bought a house intentionally. Yeah, with the opportunity um looking at it from like a financial standpoint of like we could actually move from this place. So, we've thought very strategically about it. He's we've thrown out like different cities that we love and he's now that he's been able to do a baby step toward that like not living at home and around like your family and friends which genuinely is all that matters. Um, I I'm really grateful that he's been doing that because that's hard for a woman that you you just met. I know I'm great. I know. I'm really Maybe he needs like a little bit more time. Yeah. Yeah. So, we're just a lot more open-minded, giving each other like picking each other, finding a middle ground of where we can foster a relationship and becoming our own unit family in a way. So, what's next for you and Garrett? In terms of what's next for Garrett and I, um, we are just, I think, settling into our new home together and just trying to get, I think, like 10 toes down and feeling like we have a new rhythm in a new city and always been open to the opportunities that this new lifestyle throws at us. You know, for example, we're now last minute like hopping on a plane to go do a a FIFA partnership in DC for the World Cup. And wait, that's really cool. Thank you. We're really excited about it. And just all the opportunities that we can do as a couple of like creating memories and like finances for our future family. Kids are not on the the near term radar, but um we definitely are are thinking about that like in the future. But Who knows? We're living right now. Yeah, we're living. What part of the experience was the hardest for you? Was it opening up in the pods, the reveal, transitioning into real life? I think the hardest part for me was probably opening up in the pods. I think it's really weird to get that vulnerable with a wall. Um, I I did not go on to the experiment thinking that I was going to find a husband or even go very far. So for me, I really kind of got surprised by getting so far, finding such a intense connection with someone, and then being like, I have to share all of the Yeah, it's weird deepest parts of myself on TV in a fishbowl in 10 days. In 10 days, but it felt like a lot longer. And it does you talk about things that you otherwise wouldn't talk about on a date, right? Like we're talking about finances on day three, literally. And sex on day four, like engaged on day eight. Yeah. Engaged on day eight. Great time, great outcome. 0% recommend, but one star cuz I can't give zero. Um, why was it so important for you to keep your ethnicity private while in the pods? I didn't think about it too intensely at the time. I thought it was really important for me to keep my ethnicity private because I thought that gave away how I looked. Um, and for me, in order for the experience to like really go all the way, I wanted to just actually do it. I think it's um, it's not shown on the show that you can you can share what you look like. they you get clips of it, you know, like Megan Fox or other things like that that um for me I just thought that I was really playing playing by the rules. Um, obviously for that there is a part of being in the pods where people took it the wrong way that Garrett was being like it he had a problem with my ethnicity and in that context there's actually um we talked about ethnicity like times before that and like it wasn't an issue for him. I was having trouble opening up in the pods. I just I just shared that. So when he feels like in that instance and it just happened to be on that like obviously important conversation topic like it it definitely could be seen in a different way. But I I think Garrett was like very open-minded to whatever ethnicity I went I was playing by the rules and also having trouble opening up. No one really knows how to respond, how to like do this really well. So yeah, I was so such a rules girl as well. Like I didn't I gave nothing. Absolutely nothing. I gave nothing. Like what do you look like? I don't know. Who's your celebrity twin? I don't know. I gave absolutely nothing. I couldn't. And I'm sure you're proud of yourself for that. I am. I am because again like the show is love is blind. It's not love drops a little bit of hints of what I might look like just in case you want to fat ass in small like small ways like nope. Sorry. Like what she could what she could. No, but I just thought like when I would hear we would go back to the lounge and be girls would be like, "Yeah, I know exactly what he looks like." I'm like, "Well, what is the point of this? What is Yeah, I know. I had I vividly remember Marissa one time like we were in the kitchen and she's like, I know Garrett's doppelganger. Do you want to know? And I was like, obviously I want to know, but don't like don't tell me. I really want to know. So, um, yeah, it that kind of those temptations Yeah. are always in the lounge and then you start making up a person in your head. Yeah. And you can't do that because then like it's it just I mean you could and then you figure it out, but yeah, it just it I don't think it's a recipe for the best. No, it's not. So, we saw in the show that your family was a bit hesitant um about the cameras at first. How do they feel now about you and Garrett being in the public eye? Um, my family is obsessed with Garrett. Yeah. To like a disgusting degree of they love and gush over him all the time. Um, I think as a parent, you you want to protect your kid and this is something you don't necessarily understand and it's it's a lot and you have probably a vision for how your kid is going to get married. And obviously at halfway through the show my parents are like, "Jesus, take the wheel. we're all in. Taylor's going to do what she's going to do. And so now in terms of the the public eye and part of it, um I don't My mom just got on Instagram. She did was not on social media before, so she is like a toddler with an iPad of of following me. Um and they're super supportive, really excited. Obviously, they're always concerned if you know some they see something on Facebook or something like that, but besides that, it's been wonderful. Amazing. So, who is still in the group chat from your season? Like, who are we still talking to? Who are we still friends with? I will be completely transparent and honest. Like, I don't have a problem with any of the girls. I'm just not like super close with a lot of the girls. And I don't think that's because we don't like each other. I think it's more um that my life changed overnight and I had to focus on my marriage and I moved to a town that was almost 2 hours away and you know people are going through a breakup where I'm working on a marriage. I'm still really close with Ashley. I think that we went through a very crazy situation together and really trauma bonded over that and I think that she is a really good wonderful human and um we're she's definitely the friend that I'm closest with but in terms of like the rest of the girls I'm not really in a group chat with if we're like at in the same city I would get a drink with any one of them and wish them all the best and hopefully I can see them more often now that I'm like in the same city But yeah, a at least there's no bad blood cuz things get so weird after these shows. Like you never know who's friends with who. You never know. I'm I'm quite literally like the last person to have bad blood. Well, not even have bad blood. Just to know about that kind of stuff. I feel like I I admit that I can be like a little aloof sometimes. Even in the pots, like the last day that you finally start talking about like who who is with who, Marissa had like a a yarn board and like told me and I was like, "Oh my god, I had no idea." She's like, "I know you're dating Garrett." And I was like, "I didn't tell anyone. This is crazy that like everyone knows everything before me." But yeah, after the show it gets Yeah. It emotions are high. Drama in the real world happens. People are going out with each other. But I just kind of like Did you watch season 8? Yes, I did watch season 8. How do you feel about it? Hot takes. Um, I love Taylor and Daniel. Yeah. I wish that like they lived in the same They're so cute. They're so stinking cute. Really nice salt of the earth people. Midwest people are just completely Midwest. Yeah. They're so different. I was like, "This feels really polite." Yeah. Even though like I know you guys are yelling at each other, it still feels like you're saying please and thank you. They're yelling in lowercase. Like very sweet, very calm. It was at the Don't Ruffle Father season. I loved it. I mean, and they can drink, can they? I think that one bar. Oh, one bar. There was one bar that they all drink at. I feel like they talked about like drinking a lot more than Maybe I missed that, but I was just like the Midwest is built different. It's a bit different than the than the Mormon wise, right? because they drink a lot of soda. Just hyped up on soda. Maybe we're doing it wrong. We're doing it wrong. Anyway, can you share any behind the scenes or secrets that no one knows about your season? I think the only thing and it's just not shown is that like I had I had another connection and Garrett had another connection and um it was like a big thing when So Katie was Garrett's connection. Okay. when they showed up to like the cast party and so we thought that it would be like this this big thing of them talking and then it ended up being the conversation with Nick D that was super highlighted and so it was just it is funny that interesting who was your other someone we know no he didn't really make it on I think any of it sorry if you did I don't remember but that's okay that's okay um so sadly Very sadly, there have been a lot of divorce announcements um recently within our Love is Blind family with Ashley and Tyler, Colleen and Matt, now Lydia and Milton. What are your thoughts on all this recent news? Yeah, obviously being a person that was married in this experience and you hear about other divorces that happened, it's it gives you anxiety. I feel really strong in my relationship. I'm I'm crazy about Garrett. I think we're we're financially invested in each other. U not to say that that's like what keeps people together, but we are our families are about to like vacation together and we're we're really excited about that. I I still even feeling solid get my own anxieties about like okay, this could not work out. But I I don't think that that's a bad thing. I think that there's people that get married in the normal way that get divorces all the time. I also don't think divorce is a a terrible bad thing. It's not the end all. It's not the end all and it's it works. It's for some people that's how you end up learning a lot and building the life that is is right for you and maybe finding your next person. So, it gives me anxiety, but I will never live in fear of getting a divorce. But I will, it does, it does make me work harder at my marriage. I feel like your relationship with your partner um is always evolving. And if you're not working on it, you might be drifting. You you're probably drifting apart because you're still learning that person. Like you'll never know your partner fully. You feel like you do, but you you will never know that person fully and you should always be working to try to understand them more and also work on yourself. Like there's just not enough hours in the day. Right. Right. No, I hear that. And kind of like you said, like divorce is unfortunately more common than we know or that we actually do know how common it is. And it's like kind of unfortunate that because these ones have played out on national TV or like in the public eye that it's like scrutinized so intensely. Yeah. I think in terms of the way that being in a couple in the public eye, it puts so much pressure on your relationship sometimes. um whether you like it or not, how you handle that, how maybe even the pressure makes you grow and change as a person that you're not compatible with that other person anymore. Yeah, it's there's it really depends on on the couple. I think probably across all the couples that didn't work out, they all have different valid reasons of why it didn't work out. So, um I'm I'm never I'm I feel very confident in my relationship and good, but there's nothing to say that you never know what life is is going to throw at you. And statistically, for the love of science, for the love is blind, like couples that got married compared to like real world averages, I know it's like not the same sample size of but like it's it's pretty good. It's pretty high. It's pretty high. I'm not mad about it. There was one on my season and they're still going strong. So shout out Amy and Johnny going crazy. I love them. They're so cute. I know. So we are in such a crazy crazy social media world and people get online and say the wildest things. Are there wild things people are saying about you or you guys live in scotfree? I mean we're pretty I think normal and in the be and like the most normal way you can be. I recently just saw today this has never really happened like a breakup rumor. Of course, it was on Facebook. I don't really check Facebook, but I mean, yeah, just things like that of saying wild things about your relationship that you have no idea. And if you're a a couple that's like has a social media presence, people are checking if you're in the same if you're in the same city. If, god forbid, you take your ring off to do a little moisture on your hands, it's where's the ring? People will literally stalk every like everything that you do and then correlate it to they're breaking up. They're not together. They're not happy. Yep. And I think it's a mix of people that probably are they're rooting for you and really like you and just want it to work out when amid all these other things of multiple divorces being announced. Like it's putting all the fans on edge. But we're good. We're good. We're good over here. We're good. All right. Now, let's switch gears a bit. skirt skirt and play a little game. This is called science or nonsense. Great. Hopefully, I'm good at this. Otherwise, I'm sure you'll be fine. I'm going to read popular beliefs about dating in love and you will decide whether they're backed by science or a bunch of nonsense. Okay. Okay. First one. Men fall in love faster than women. Science or nonsense? I'm going to go with science. M ding ding ding. Can I get a bell? Can I get a ding ding ding ding ding ding? Science. Ding ding ding. Right. Thank you. Okay, next statement. couples who fight early on in a relationship are doomed. Nonsense. Ding ding ding. I love that for them that if they don't fight, it all works out. You know what? Love that for you. People are doomed after 50 years. So, yeah, that's true. Can never count. That's how you fight. That's how you fight. A good relationship means you don't have to work at all. Add it. What a nonsense. Ding ding ding. Don't need a STEM degree to to know that one. No work required for good things whatsoever. It just falls in your lap. Yeah. Okay. You can tell if someone is interested in you if they are mirroring your body language. Oh, science girl. Oh, science. Let's say behavioral science. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Okay. I feel like I'm at 50%. That's passing. No, you won. Oh, I'm one. Yeah, you won. Amazing. Girl's a scientist. She knows Ghana. Okay, now let's do some superlatives. Okay. From season seven of Love is Blind. Okay. You'll have to walk me through the the structure. I got you. So, I'm going to read out different superlatives and then you have to assign them to somebody from your season. Okay, let's go. Best dress. Me. Duh. Did you see her at the reunion? I I dream about that. Thank you. I really truly do. Thank you. I put a lot of work into it. I'm glad it it it landed. Everything, the hair, the makeup, like the the slick pony. I can literally like if I had to like draw it out right now, I could see the whole vision. pony, the gold corset, the skirt. Thank you. I was too stunned. I had I had a hair stylist who does drag and so he did my ponytail and that thing was not moving. No, no, no, no. That was a look. Thank you. That was a look. Okay, I agree. Ding ding. Most transformed emotionally or physically? I think Leo did a really great job. Ooh, I think that's so hard to go from you you watching him, you probably really hate what he's saying and you're like this guy and then by the end of it like he had I think handled it with such grace and made fun of himself and like figured out like oh I shouldn't have done some said those things and I think he really had a amazing comeback and then I mean trans physically transformed obviously my husband it's I think He looks the same but with better. Talk about it. Talk about it. His hair. It was like a international sensation. I did not vote. I didn't even vote for him on being one of the top Love is Blind moments. But that I think that speaks to it and I have a lot of people asking about like his hair routine. I'm like you have to message him. Yeah. I don't know what goes on, but it's doing great. I love that. Okay. biggest flirt. Oh, Nikki D. Nikki D be up there flirting. He does. He was even on social media still. Is he's a realtor, right? He is a realtor. I think I saw something that popped up recently. You'll have to tell me. Oh god, I swiped real fast. I was like, what is he about to say? But I like it just it gave the tone of flirty and I was like, Nikki, I hope that helps him sell some houses. Get that commission, baby. Whatever it takes in this economy life. Whatever it takes. Okay. Most dramatic moment. Um, I would say the most like dramatic moment, which isn't a bad thing, is probably Marissa and Ramses's breakup. When I watched that, my heart felt broken. you know, we're watching it on an iPad before you go into the reunion and I'm like I'm crying and it it was hard. It was really hard to watch. Obviously, you're watching like a really difficult breakup happening. Um, so dramatic isn't bad, but it definitely was a really hard moment to watch. Agreed. Okay. Most likely to be on another Netflix show. I really hope it's Hannah. I want to see what I was thinking. I really hope I see Hannah like on another show. She's a big personality. Let's get our girl a redemption. She She needs a redemption. She needs a redemption. I want to see her find some love. Maybe she learns some things from our season. Yeah. And yeah, I'd love to see her on a show. I will be tuning in. Hannah, period. First of all, I just want to thank you so very much for coming and joining me on What's the Reality? But before we go anywhere, what would you say is your biggest takeaway from not only filming your show airing the public response, what was your biggest takeaway from Love is Blind? I think my biggest takeaway from Love is Blind, obviously as for my personal take, I think my marriage is obviously really important, but I grew so much as a person. um is to show up as yourself authentically, unapologetically, and if you're a good person and you work at it, you'll be rewarded for it. And so I I was really nervous going through the experience thinking that I'm going to be super boring or people are going to hate me, but I'm at this point all I can do is just show up as myself and try to be a good person. And I I think it worked out really well for me. And so I've really tried to carry that forward in the content that I'm now creating, which is this brand new world to me. Um, and I think that that could be useful for literally anyone else, right? I'm really really I'm so excited to have um a happy woman standing here, happy in her marriage. It's been a long a long few weeks for what's the reality, but I'm really really happy because I am newly engaged. I'm planning a wedding and it just like no shade to anybody. Yeah. No shade to anybody going through what they're going through. But it does it is a breath of fresh air to have Thank you. someone that is so confident and strong in their relationship and still so strong in your individuality be here and express that and show the world that yes, this does work if you do the work. And if it didn't work for you, that's your story. But there's the proof is right here in the pudding that it can work. So, well, you're an incredibly inspiring woman. I'm so excited to see you just absolutely thriving and killing it. I'm sure you're very tired, exhausted. But you're doing great. Thank you. You'll sleep. You'll sleep later, baby.
