Ever felt like you were just getting by, even when life looked perfect on paper? Welcome to The Flavored Word podcast and video series.
This isn’t a scrapbook—it’s unfiltered talk.
Part confession, part commentary — candid, sharp, and never sugar‑coated. Writer and journalist Shauna Gabriel (that’s me) shares the stories behind her healing, her irritations, and the writing advice she wishes she’d taken years ago. Food shows up too—not as the villain or the obsession, but as the quiet companion that helped her rebuild after a decade of wrestling with body image and an eating disorder.
If you’re craving honest talk about becoming the version of yourself you keep pretending you’re not ready for, you’re in the right place. If you want gentle self‑help… wrong turn. This isn’t a scrapbook—it’s real life with flavor. Join me every Wednesday as I share personal stories of how I stopped being polite about the life I wanted and started moving through the world like I was born to take up space.
DISCLAIMER: I’m a writer and an editor. And I try my best to make sure every post is articulate and free from errors. However, being that I edit my own work—and it’s next to impossible to properly edit your own work—I admit, occasionally there may be an error or two I miss. But doing so doesn’t make me an idiot so don’t be mean. Just smile, pat yourself on the back for finding an error and be glad you’re not the only one who makes mistakes sometimes … xoxox
