In this episode of The Real Mabel Podcast, Mabel reflects on how stories—books, shows, poems, and songs—begin to meet us differently as we heal and grow. From rewatching Game of Thrones to revisiting The Handmaid’s Tale and the poetry of Mary Oliver, she explores how shifting perspectives reveal emotional healing, nervous system awareness, and evolving identity.

This episode isn’t about dissecting entertainment—it’s about noticing ourselves. How trauma and healing shape what we tolerate, what we empathize with, and what no longer rings true. Mabel invites listeners to reflect on the stories that once comforted, challenged, or mirrored them—and how those meanings change as we do.

In this episode of The Real Mabel Podcast, Mabel speaks candidly about her evolving relationship with Valentine’s Day — and how grief, depression, and loss unexpectedly led her to fall back in love with life itself.

After years of skepticism around performative romance, Mabel reflects on loving deeply, losing deeply, and what it means to choose intention over survival. With honesty, humor, and lived experience, she explores how grief can awaken a desire to live fully, not perfectly.

This episode is for anyone navigating loss, healing, singleness, or a quiet but powerful shift toward loving their own existence again — without pressure, timelines, or toxic positivity.

Whether you’re partnered, single, grieving, or somewhere in between, this is an invitation to notice life, choose it, and stay.

In this episode of The Real Mabel Podcast, Mabel reflects on the quiet practice of staying with herself instead of reaching outward for validation, purpose, or relief.

A grounded, honest conversation about self-love as behavior, not perfection, and learning not to abandon yourself when things feel heavy.

The Unsaid invites listeners to pause and notice where they may be leaving themselves—and to practice staying just a little longer.
