Bach After Dark is back! To kick off Season 2, I asked the hilarious podcaster Leanna Joan to co-host with me from the Hello and Goodbye podcast! Our guest is the spicy and immensely talented Natascha Bessez! If you watched the Bachelor spinoff show, Listen to Your Heart, you'll recall her being the beautiful Latina who shook things up and added some passion when she paired up with Ryan on stage! I was dying to get her on the pod to discuss the show and that wildly hot video she made with fellow Bach Nation heartthrob, Mike Johnson (she spills all about their chemistry in Part 2!) On a deeper note, we discuss her past abusive relationships, the valuable lessons she learned from them and her current dating life. Part 2 coming soon! 

Kelly Jo Higgins, now Kuharski, was runner up on Bob Guiney's season of The Bachelor which aired in 2003, and nearly became The Bachelorette! We connected after I read about her historic run in the newly published How To Win The Bachelor, by Game of Roses' Chad & Lizzy. She shares how different applying for the show was in the early 2000's, and her hilarious submission video! Tea was spilled, and behind the scenes dirt shared! I ask the juicy questions, and she doesn't hold back, you don't want to miss this Bachelor tell all! Follow Kelly on Instagram @kellyjohiggins and this podcast @getncozywitherin.
