  • Looking for love as The Bachelorette, while unconventional, is exactly what Jenn Tran needed to break toxic dating patterns and relearn how to trust her gut instincts. In this episode, Jenn opens up about her journey from growing up as a first-generation Vietnamese immigrant to studying medicine to navigating the highs and lows of being the first Asian Bachelorette. Jenn shares the challenges and perspective-shifting gifts of her upbringing, opening up about the coping mechanisms she's unlearning and the power of therapy in healing generational trauma. Discover how she handles social media criticism as she steps into the role of a public figure and the unexpected lessons she learned from dating 25 men at once. Plus, Vic and Jenn bond over being Swifties! Tune in to get a sneak peek into what we can expect from the rest of her season and what’s next for Jenn after the show. #bachelornation
