The Texas native, who first made an appearance on season 23 The Bachelor in 2019, revealed that she would, however, “of course” do her own spinoff show.

The “Demi Goddess” podcast host, however, told Us that she’s not alone. “I talk to the [Bachelor] women still and I do think we have such incredibly strong women and a lot of us are still single,” she said. “I continue to be inspired by them because they’ve shown me heart in, like, whenever I’ve needed them in times, they’ve shown up for me.”

“I have my standards, I have my boundaries, and if you don’t want to meet them, you don’t have to be here,” Burnett confessed, adding, she wants to “take away the stigma” of being single. “I have a lot of options out here! I’m not ready to settle down yet!”
