After Reality with Courtney Robertson

In today’s episode of After Reality, I’m joined by my dad (your favorite) Papa Robertson for a February check-in—and some simple, practical ways to feel better now and keep that momentum going into the rest of the year.
We talk about a few lifestyle goals that can make a big difference: choosing real, direct human communication, staying physically active, and tightening up finances by cutting those sneaky little daily expenses that add up fast. Papa also shares his go-to wellness advice—moderating alcohol, steering clear of overly processed foods, and taking a step back from the stress of the 24-hour news cycle.
We also get into minimalism and doing an “energy audit”: focusing on the people and habits that lift you up, and letting go of the toxic stuff that drains you. And to wrap it all up, we lean into personal growth—reading classic books, spending more time in nature, and finding joy in new hobbies (yes, including Papa and his ukulele era).

In this episode of After Reality, I’m joined by Jaydi Samuels Kuba — a Hollywood matchmaker, dating coach, and former Family Guy writer — to talk all things modern dating and what it really takes to find a lasting relationship. Jaydi shares insights from her newly released book, Your Last First Date: Secrets From a Hollywood Matchmaker (out January 27), and breaks down why dating can feel extra complicated in high-pressure worlds like entertainment (and honestly… just in general these days).
We get into her matchmaking philosophy — focusing on quality, true compatibility, and ethical boundaries, rather than promising a certain number of “matches” like some high-cost agencies. Jaydi also opens up about her own love story, including the wild (and very unconventional) way she met her husband… who was originally a client, and yes, she eventually broke her own rules.
Plus, she gives practical, actionable advice you can actually use right now: how to navigate physical attraction, communicate boundaries without killing the vibe, and update your online dating profile so it reflects the real you (and attracts the right people).

In this episode of After Reality, I’m joined by Reality Steve and we’re breaking down the latest Bachelor Nation headlines. We kick things off with Mel Owens and his final pick Peg Munson, and share why their recent podcast appearances came off defensive and rubbed a lot of people the wrong way.
Then we get into Kat Izzo spilling the tea on her breakup with Dale Moss—what she’s said publicly, what stood out to us, and why Bachelor Nation can’t stop talking about it...
We also weigh in on the controversial casting of Colton Underwood on The Traitors, share an update on the ongoing legal investigation involving Laura Owens, and wrap with a few lighter tangents on nostalgic pop culture, winter weather, and whatever we’re currently into. Hot takes, honest opinions, and plenty of laughs along the way.

In today’s episode of After Reality, I’m joined by my husband, Humberto Ramon Preciado — back on the mic with me after a long break. We’re sharing a real-life catch-up on what’s been going on behind the scenes, from his career shift (from criminal prosecutor to personal injury attorney at a local firm) to some eye-opening thoughts on insurance, work culture, and what he’s learned along the way.
We also get into the heart of our current season: parenting three little ones. Humberto opens up about what it was really like running the house solo while I was away filming, and we talk honestly about the chaos, the pressure, and what actually helped us get through it. Routine worked because it gave the kids predictability and gave Humberto a game plan. Same anchors every day = fewer power struggles, less chaos, and more peace.
Along the way, we touch on Humberto’s personal backstory — including his early FBI dreams and the academic path that helped shape his career — and we wrap things up with a few sweet kid milestone updates and some fun streaming TV recommendations to add to your watch list.

In today’s episode of After Reality, I’m joined by registered dietitian Abbey Sharp for a refreshing, evidence-based conversation about nutrition that isn’t rooted in restriction or diet culture. Abbey breaks down her “Hunger Crushing Combo” — a simple framework built around fiber, protein, and healthy fats — and explains why focusing on what you can add to your plate is often more sustainable than obsessing over what to cut out.
Abbey also opens up about her personal history with orthorexia and how that experience shaped her mission to help people build a more peaceful relationship with food. We talk about blood sugar balance, honoring hunger cues, and what “healthy” can look like when it’s actually realistic for real life.
Plus, we get into the impact of social media on body image, along with practical wellness topics like supplements, sleep, and navigating nutrition through menopause. If you’re looking for a grounded approach to feeling your best — without the all-or-nothing mindset — this episode is for you.
