  • How To Fight Fair

    This week's episode of Ditch The Script has some true gems in it! Alex and Bri take on Week 3 of Bachelor in Paradise and give out a surprising amount of green flags! We talk everything about the falling out between Genevieve and Justin, Genevieve and Aaron's reconciliation, Brandon and Serene's swoon-worthy date, and Michael and Sierra's tearful departure! You already know Kira's return and Romeo's awkward departure needed an analysis of its own. Needless to say, Ditch The Script covers a lot of examples of healthy conflict and what it means to truly find conflict resolution with your partner. 


    Before the Bachelor In Paradise breakdown, Alex and Bri answer a listener question asking how they can prevent engaging in narcissistic behavior on their side of the relationship. We love the self-awareness! Alex takes us through some accessible steps to support someone who may notice engaging in toxic patterns that could be classified in Narcissistic tendencies and what to do next with that information.

    4. Shit We Should Stop Caring About While Dating

      What DON'T we cover on this episode? Alex and Bri get off on a few details that we have been conditioned to be aware of, and even hide, while dating and imagine what it would be like to let it all go. This theme carries us through the rest of this week's topics, how to best navigate dating someone with complicated family relationships who may or may not have decided to cut off communication entirely. Is this a red flag or a green flag with more context? Listen to the full episode to hear Alex and Bri talk about the best signs to look for and how to use communication to tackle this with your partner. We also debunk another internet question, "am I alone in finding it rare to be attracted to people?" and what does Bri and Alex find most important in their personal experiences that add up to attraction they find in others!


      We're getting ready to begin covering Bachelor In Paradise for next season! BIP airs 9/27/2022. Come join us as we unpack the new season with all your recent Bachelor/Bachelorette faves!

    6. Great Relationships Are Created, Not Found

      Ditch The Scripts wraps up the final episode of the Love Island UK (Season 8) and the reunion!! You already know we had a lot to say about the results of the finale and how we feel the votes cast reflect our views of relationships in society. We have a long way to go people! But that's why we make this podcast, we have always set out to peel back the narratives we're fed to get clarity on how this hurts us rather than helping us. ANYWHOOZERS. In this episode, we do a deep dive into the difference between passion felt with a toxic partner and secure, hot, connection with someone whom you can trust. Spoiler alert, they feel VERY different and we help explain why. Finally, we get into platonic relationships outside of a romantic relationship and the age old question, "can men and women be friends?". Can we sustain, and even allow to grow, deep platonic friendships with people we may be attracted to? The answer is yes but not without boundaries. Ditch The Script discuss more how to facilitate those boundaries and navigating this while in a relationship who may struggle to feel safe about your platonic and hot bestie.
