Welcome back to The Viall Files: Bachelor Gossip Edition. Today we are joined by New York Times Bestselling Author, Podcaster, and mental health advocate, Allison Raskin! On this episode we reflect on the fallout from Shayne's interview and talk about his relationship, what we learned, and where Shayne should go from here. We dive into Natalie's responses to the interview, and invite both of them to come on for a mediation session where they could leave feeling like they're in a better place. We also talk about what defines a hero and a villain in reality television, how we bring our personal experiences and biases when we watch these shows, and what is happening in Bachelor Nation. We also breakdown Allison's new book, Overthinking About You, that brings insights into dating and mental health, highlighting how to be open in these conversations and how to overcome adversity.
