About this listen

In this episode of The Real Mabel Podcast, Mabel reflects on a painful arthritis flare, the chaos of caring for a high-energy puppy, and the emotional weight of hyper-independence. Through bruised knuckles, holiday grief, and a silent car ride that demanded honesty, she explores what it means to keep choosing life even when everything hurts.

Mabel shares the small moments that pulled her back toward hope — a hawk on a branch, the magic of Christmas, and the quiet truth that survival isn’t pride, it’s instinct. This episode is a reminder that we’re all writing our “second half,” even with shaky hands.
