About this listen

In this episode of The Real Mabel Podcast, Mabel explores why emotions show up with overwhelming urgency and how that urgency often pushes us into survival mode. She breaks down the connection between emotional regulation, hyper-independence, trauma responses, and the exhaustion that follows when we carry life alone for too long. With honesty and humor, Mabel reflects on her own fluctuating emotions, the resentment and relief of independence, and the importance of learning how to pause before reacting. This episode offers a grounded look at the “levels” of emotional experience — the highs, the lows, and the moments that make us question everything — while reminding listeners that healing doesn’t mean never feeling overwhelmed. It means learning how to navigate it differently.

If you’ve ever felt like your emotions arrive like emergencies, or that independence feels safer than connection, this one’s for you.
