About this listen

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.
