Happy Thursday!

Today on the show we have the very lovely, very bubbly, Brooke Blurton. You may remember Brooke from her time on The Bachelor and The Bachelor in Paradise, but in truth, Brooke’s story is about far more than her short foray on reality TV.

Our conversation covers her childhood, her identity and her love of her job as a youth worker.

If you love Brooke as much as we do, find her on Instagram @brooke.blurton. We are @shamelesspodcast!
