"Two months after calling it quits with her Bachelor boyfriend Brad Womack, Emily Maynard continues to struggle to find her true identity post-breakup.\r\nIn an emotional new interview with Bachelor host Chris Harrison, single mom Maynard, 25, says she retreated inward in the wake of calling off her engagement from Womack.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;Right now I just want to focus on being a mom, and not have to worry about&amp;#x2026;not knowing who to trust,&amp;quot; she tells Harrison in a preview from the chat, airing on Monday&amp;apos;s episode of The Bachelorette. &amp;quot;It&amp;apos;s been really hard on me. You don&amp;apos;t know who to turn to so you end up staying by yourself and that makes you even more sad.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nAs she focuses on raising her 6-year-old daughter, Ricki, in their hometown of Charlotte, N.C., a source tells the new issue of Us Weekly Maynard is slowly coming out of her shell. In the time since her split, Maynard has expressed a firm interest in appearing on The Bachelorette -- but not necessarily to find love again.\r\nThough she once said appearing on the series was &amp;quot;the last thing on my mind,&amp;quot; the insider tells Us Maynard wants to use her stint on the show to jump-start a broadcast career. &amp;quot;She wants to be famous,&amp;quot; the source says of the aspiring TV host.\r\n\r\nMaynard is equally as eager to move on from Womack.\r\n&amp;quot;He has issues, and you could tell from the start that it was never going to work with Emily,&amp;quot; another insider says. Still, Maynard tried her best, a pal confirms to Us: &amp;quot;She gave it everything she had.&amp;quot;\r\nBy Allison Corneau for Us Weekly.
