  • Fantasy Suite - Not So Sweet

    Hi Ditchers! We cover the latest episode of The Bachelor, Fantasy Suite Week edition! Otherwise known as "Sex Week" *eye roll*. Learn why we hate this title for the 2nd to last episode of the season and all other breakdown information on Zach's dates with Ariel, Gabi, and Kaity. We talk about eating bugs in Thailand, does talking about plans (or no plans for sex) kill the romance too early on a date, how to navigate anxiety while out with your boo, and how much to disclose to your partner about your (recent) sex life! We go over it all, including our thoughts on how Zach could have supported Gabi much better while she was expressing her concerns (before and after the infamous overnight), and our debate on if Zach really should have told Kaity about his sexcapades with one of the other ladies. In this, we talk about feeling guilt and shame after doing something that you know isn't so great and definitely might have a negative impact on your partner. Is coming clean really the best or most responsible choice? What does it mean to sit in that guilt and shame to allow this experience settle before deciding what doing better in the future looks like.


    But first!.. we talk about pre-date rituals. What they can look like, how they help, and what it looks like if you don't plan for them. Let us know about your pre-date rituals in the comments!

  • Navigating Change and Rejection

    How do you feel about change? Do you thrive in it, or feel like you're jumping off a cliff you'd really rather not be on? On this episode of Ditch the Script, we talk about how to deal with the anxiety that often comes up in the wake of big and small changes. We offer some practical insight on how to recognize you're having a pre-change freak out and what to do with it so you can keep it pushing and move toward your goals! 

    Of course, we cover the latest episode of The Bachelor. Your hosts break down what made Gabi's one-on-one date so successful and our thoughts on Greer's reactions throughout the episode, especially that awkward zoom date #IYKYK 

    The group date gave us more to discuss than you'd think! Zach's absence caused a lot of the girls to feel rejected. This episode of DTS discussed what we mean by "feelings aren't facts", and how to validate how you're feeling without letting these feelings takeover and change the context of your experience.

  • How Anxiety and Shame Show Up While Dating: The Bachelor

    This episode covers the latest episode of the Bachelor, and we'e going to the BAHAMAS folks!!! Well, we're not, but we do learn that Bri has been manifesting a sexy getaway there at the same time that this episode aired. A coincidence? I think not!!!!

    Ditch The Script covers all the details from Zach's 1-1 with Kat, the infamous group date that led to Anastasia's timely departure, the incident with Kylie that kicked this all off, and Brooklyn's fun 1-1. We talk being vulnerable on dates, how to receive that vulnerability, and the purpose of taking responsibility and sitting in that shame to make use of it in the future for your benefit. This episode also breaks down the subtle yet distinct differences between using physical touch to relieve anxiety and seek reassurance vs. having physical touch shows up as a result of magnetic energy drawing two people together. Spicy!!!!

    As a bonus, Alex and Bri thought it would be important to follow up about the latest news between Raven and SK, from Love is Blind Season 3, following Raven's interview disclosing the details of her experience finding out about SK's chronic infidelity. You're going to want to hear the information DTS adds to the chat on this one.

  • Bachelor Predictions: Looking Back On Zach

    If you love Ditch The Script for the bff banter between Alex and Brianna, this is the episode for you. As we build up tension before our coverage of the next Bachelor season, we revisit what we know about Zach Shallcross to get a feeling for what might be in store for us this season. Like in our own relationships, sometimes it's helpful to look backwards and take an objective look on what worked and what didn't to help find success in our future relationships! Zach is no exemption as we review his time spent with Rachel on the last season of the Bachelorette. If you think Zach is an underwhelming pick for this season, we hear you! But hear us as we check in with what we know about him to get a better sense of why he's a solid pick for one lucky lady coming this season. 


    In this ep, Alex and Brianna also riff off of their current thoughts about dating games. How to spot a player and how to avoid playing the game yourself just to match the energy of others. If you've ever felt tired of the dating game and all of it's rules, kiki with us as we talk about how frustrating that is and what to do about it instead.
