Today I’m joined by Stefanie Parker from the She’s All Bach podcast as I open up about my big return to television — and yes, it’s on HGTV! We chat all about filming The Bachelor Mansion Takeover (premiering this February), what inspired me to say yes to reality TV again, and how it felt stepping back into the spotlight after years away.

I also share the excitement, the nerves, and what it was like leaving my kids at home to take on this once-in-a-lifetime experience. Plus, we touch on a few Bachelor Nation updates — from Gerry Turner’s tell-all to a surprising contestant apology. No spoilers here.

This week on After Reality, I’m catching up after fall break and sharing a few family updates—then diving into some unexpected news that stirred up a few emotions. Let’s just say, Taylor Swift has been my soundtrack lately.

From there, I unpack the latest Bachelor drama, including Nicole’s bold “power villain” move on Mel Owen’s season, with a little help from the sharp minds at Game of Roses.

And to wrap things up, I celebrate the incomparable Diane Keaton with a touching Meryl Streep tribute and reflect on how Diane’s timeless spirit continues to inspire me.

I’m back! After a whirlwind few weeks working on a new project, I’m catching up with you all and sharing some personal updates — from our family’s fall break adventures to celebrating my five-year wedding anniversary. I also touch on the latest pop culture buzz, including Taylor Swift’s new album and the Nicole Kidman divorce news.

Then, I dive into The Golden Bachelor and its lead, Mel Owens — breaking down what’s working, what’s not, and why the ratings might be struggling. I share clips and commentary from fellow podcasters like Reality Steve and Game of Roses, who’ve had plenty to say about Owens’s low energy this season.
