Chill Chat
The formerThe Bachelorettestar chats about self-care, wellness, and winningSpecial Forces.
Spoiler alert:She won alongside soccer player Carli Lloyd.
This show puts contestants through the absolute ringer with grueling challenges from the actual Special Forces selection process.
The show showed me that I was so strong.
What is your typical morning routine?
Im not the biggest morning person.
I stay on agood sleep routineso that I can wake up a little bit more refreshed.
I also try toget some natural sunlight first thing.
Right now Im readingThe Ruthless Elimination of Hurry.
I venture to eat around 11 after my workout, which could still be considered breakfast.
Sometimes I’ll have a banana, but my favorite is thebreakfast tacosmy boyfriend makes at home.
It has to be with theSiete almond tortillas.
This is of course with someCholula hot sauceon top.
Maybe its because Im feeling more in tune with my body.
I’m super minimalistic.
Oh, and always aLaneige Lip Sleeping Mask.
I put that on my lips in the morning because they tend to feel dry when I wake up.
Then I brush my hair and put it up so I can work out.
My psychiatrist and therapist really wanted me to get intostrength trainingbecause it’s agood mood booster.
Did you feel physically ready when you showed up atSpecial Forces?
But I knew that I have a strong work ethic and would do the best that I could.
The last challenge was horrible.
It was called the interrogation.
I really tried to drown out the noise.
I would talk to myself or venture to find a calm place to go to in my mind.
I thought to myself, “OK, you’ve been in pain before.
You’ve been in uncomfortable situations.
It won’t last forever.”
That’s what I would tell myself as I breathed.
This too shall pass is another thing I kept saying in my mind.
That sounds incredibly intense.
How do you decompress after being on a TV set?
I’m just now learning a healthy way to decompress.
After this past show, we met each other in France and had the most romantic two weeks together.
