This week the sisters sit down with Taylor Nolan, a Psychotherapist who appeared on ABC’s The Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise. Because of her portrayal on the show, Taylor received harsh criticism and cyber bullying--resulting in a nasty depression that took a lot of personal work and therapy for her to overcome. Today, Taylor is open about her struggles and uses her voice and her platform to speak openly about taboo topics like mental health and sexuality, sharing thought provoking interviews every week on her popular podcast “Let’s Talk About It!"


Taylor received her Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Johns Hopkins University and practices as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington state. Taylor is smart, bold and beautiful and shares some unconventional opinions and lots of wisdom in this episode, including:

Her upbringing: experiencing racism, moving around a lot, dealing with loss
Why she ultimately decided to go to school to become a therapist and what drew her into the work of wanting to help people
What prompted her to apply for the Bachelor, as well as return to the show (Bachelor in Paradise) after receiving backlash from the first
The depression that she experienced as a result of the show and how she pulled herself out of it
How she deals with cyber bullying and responds to negativity
What kinds of people can benefit from therapy and breaking down stigmas around it, especially when it comes to what a therapist should "look or act like"
Why she started the "Let's Talk About It" Podcast, and some of her favorite topics to dissect and demystify including sexuality, toxic monogamy and female masturbation
The difference between boundaries and ultimatums
What she's super excited about in her business and love life right now!
