Susan Noles’ Post-Golden Bachelor Life Explained

Susan Has Been Busy Since The Golden Bachelor Ended

After The Golden Bachelor, Susan has continued to exemplify what it means to be a fabulous older woman. Whether she was serving as a trusted advisor to Rachel Nance in Joey Graziadei’s Bachelor season or shining a light on relationships between older people on the Bachelor Happy Hour: Golden Hour podcast with her co-host and best friend Kathy Swarts, Susan has been making an impact. Susan also served as Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist’s wedding officiant during the Golden Wedding. In addition, Susan is very active on social media, showing her fans that women over 50 are still vital and vibrant.

Susan is the perfect choice for Q50 because she’s proven that there are endless possibilities for women who are over the age of 50. Susan and her fellow Golden Bachelor stars have broken new ground by representing older women, who have traditionally been regarded as invisible in society. Susan has given a voice to women her age, showing that they’re dating, having adventures, and enjoying their lives. She’s a strong woman who has made it her mission to teach other women to love themselves. Susan is setting an incredible example for girls and women of all ages.

Since she has been so influential since she appeared on The Golden Bachelor, Susan should be considered to be the first-ever star of The Golden Bachelorette. The spin-off series was announced by ABC, but the lead has yet to be revealed. With her hilarious personality, kind demeanor, and inspiring positive outlook on life, Susan would be perfect for the role. For now, it’s wonderful to see that QVC has recognized Susan’s amazing impact since her Golden Bachelor journey. She’s an extraordinary person, and she truly deserves this honor.
