Summary
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).
