Carly Waddell is more than a Bachelor Nation fan favorite. From $5k/month on a cruise ship to $25k for a BIP wedding, and BTS to her music career studying with Lady Gaga!

This week, Jason is joined by Bachelor Nation fan favorite turned singer-songwriter, Carly Waddell!

Many know Carly from her time on The Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise, but what you may not know is that Carly comes from a long history of singing and songwriting where she even toured the world as a headliner for the cruise industry before being discovered by producers of the Bachelor franchise. While Carly took a break from music to see through her experience in Bachelor Nation, raising her young kids, and eventually going through a very public divorce, Carly has recently jumped back into the music world, releasing her first debut EP.

Carly gives insight to getting into Tisch Music at NYU and transferring to Oklahoma, wanting to get into Broadway, how she landed her cruise line gig, how she learned to negotiate, how her brother made it to hometown dates on The Bachelorette which lead to her being on the show, and how social media has changed since she was on the show. Carly also reveals how she made income after Bachelor in Paradise the first time, how she felt after the first season, how she changed her ring from her engagement from BIP, what the wedding was like on Bachelor in Paradise, BTS of her podcast with Jade, how her and Evan kept finances separate, using a mediator during the divorce process, and how she got back into music. Who else dropped out of Tisch the same time she did? What season of the Bachelor did they offer her originally? When did she make the most money? 

Carly reveals all that and so much more in another episode you can’t afford to miss!
