Get to know Madison a little better below!
1. A taboo topic I love talking about is: I love talking about anything and everything, whether with a close friend or a complete stranger! I enjoy getting to know people for who they are, differing opinions or not. I also believe that discussing “taboo topics” allows you to get to know a person and their background on a much deeper level.
2. I think a celebrity couple that is the definition of #relationshipgoals is: Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively, of course! I love how they are best friends, first and foremost. Plus, I love some good, sarcastic humor, and they both dish it to each other!
3. My guilty pleasure is: Dessert after dinner. Even if it is just a piece of chocolate, I need to end dinner with something sweet! **Insert Spongebob scene “WhAt ArE tHeY sElLiNg?”... “CHOCOLATES!!!”**
4. The best relationship advice I ever received was: It is okay to move on.
5. My zodiac sign is ___________ and my most [insert zodiac sign] trait would be: I am a Libra! I don’t know enough about Zodiac signs to give a confident answer, but based on a quick Google search of female Libra traits, I would say I am a genuine giver who always makes sure her people are taken care of first.
6. My biggest pet peeve is: Nose whistles. You know when someone has a boogie and there is that little, high-pitched whistle when they breathe? That. Nose whistles. (Don’t get me wrong, I get ’em too. But it is still a pet peeve. 😂)
7. My last meal on earth would be: The blackened salmon filet from Rustica in Moorhead, Minnesota. *Chef’s kiss*
8. The song that always gets me pumped up is: “Till I Collapse” by Eminem and Nate Dogg.
9. My hidden talent is: I can knock out a 1,000-piece puzzle in a few hours if given the time. I am a nerd for puzzles.
10. The person that inspires me the most is: My little sisters, Meaghan and Myah. Meaghan is an RN in the emergency room and is the smartest, most giving person I have ever met. I also am not exaggerating when I say she is the funniest human I know. Seriously. Myah is studying at the University of Minnesota and thriving. Life has not been easy, but they still shine through adversity. I would not be the woman I am today without them.
11. The movie I’ve rewatched the most is: “A Star Is Born.”
12. My favorite emoji is: 🤪
13. My favorite part of being on “The Bachelor” was: The women! We all come from such different backgrounds, and it was so fun to be able to get to know some of them during the time I was there.
14. Being on “The Bachelor” taught me: To stay true to who I am despite the opinions of people who do not know me. I know the woman I am. I know the heart I have. And I know my intentions. ❤️
15. My celebrity crush is: That’s tough... I am not sure I have one?! Joe Burrow, maybe?
16. My advice for anyone who goes on “The Bachelor” is: Go with the knowledge that anything is possible, good or bad. There are so many emotions when it comes to going on “The Bachelor,” and you must have the emotional strength and support system to be there for you through the highs and lows.
17. If I had to hang out with only three people from Bachelor Nation for the rest of my life, it would be: Elyse Delbom, Susie Evans, and Gabby Windey!
18. Something I still have from my time on “The Bachelor” is: The cork from the champagne bottle we had in the limo! I have a vase with corks from special moments in my life, like the cork from the champagne I popped when I bought my house, the corks from the wine I had on my business’s one- and two-year anniversary, etc.
19. When Bachelor Nation fans approach me in person and/or online, the first question they ask is: Do you regret it? 😂 (The answer is no, by the way. Do I regret some things? Maybe. But I don’t regret it as a whole.)
20. Where do you see yourself in 5 years: I hope to be happily married to a man that is not only my best friend but a partner in life. I hope to have a house on or near water. And who knows, maybe a baby will be in the picture?! I see my business growing with more clients and a bigger team of employees. But, most importantly, I see myself stronger than I am today because of the lessons I learned. Everything happens for a reason. Life isn’t about the cards you’re dealt. It is how you play them.
