Adult Puberty
Adult Puberty Podcast is for those of us who didn’t receive a silver spoon into adulthood and who dare to live authentic, unscripted lives. My name is Ebonie and I value self-development, or "the work" as I call it, in the areas of physical health, mental/emotional stability and spiritual maturity. I have experienced the transformative power of doing the work, so I want to empower and encourage you to embrace "the work" for the sole purpose of being the best version of yourself. Mountaintop experiences happen every so often. Does that mean we stop living or growing? Not at all! There’s so much untapped opportunity for personal growth in everyday living. You are not alone and we are all trying to figure it out, so I hope you hear something that makes you think, laugh, grow or seek God for your self.

Sometimes the struggles of being an adult and ordinary life can seem like the only thing going on. I for one, have wanted to just not participate in life as I say, but then I’m reminded that life ebbs and flows, there is a bigger picture and I am a part of that bigger picture, no matter how crappy I feel.
I noticed a pattern in my life that consisted of four seasons:

In part 2 of this real talk I get into what faith is like for me and what I've observed with the religions of the world.

My Aunt has been a nun for 70 years. Many people have never known a nun let alone a black nun.

Just a lil something to break the monotony.....

Who wants to stay the same and deal with the same personal struggles year after year? Not us! So lean in to discomfort and embrace your own growing season!
Grief is personal. I don't have a "to do" list for grief but in this episode I talk about how I had been avoiding grieving for two relationships and why Its healthy to process grief that may not be tied to the death of someone but rather because of some change in your life or the loss of a relationship, place or thing.
There's much controversy around the truth, what it is and what it is not, but you don't hear much about HOW to be truthful or HOW to accept the truth. We take it for granted that not everyone knows how to be truthful or how to accept the truth. In this episode I get into 3 ways to practice telling the truth and 3 ideas you can implement to help you better accept the truth.
So... I was in my bag after I found this 20 year old poem that I wrote at age 25. However! It's a great reminder whether for those of us who are single to embrace this unique time of self love and self discovery.
Everyone at some point has had a moment where they did not control their emotions.If you were never taught how to control your emotions or even what that means you may be living in a prison of your emotions or Worse, you may be alienating and losing friends or loved ones because of your uncontrolled emotions. I give you (3) practical options to get you started in your practice of controlling your emotions.
We all are as different as snowflakes and those unique differences mean that we see, experience and feel the world and relationships very differently. Instead of trying to conform to a world that doesn't care how you are wired embrace how you are wired so that you can live the life you want to live.
In the season 1 wrap up we will discuss the 4 pillar of wholeness: mental, physical, emotional and spiritual health and how they are not just buzz words of self help gurus but are foundational to our well-being.
The adult Puberty podcast is all about addressing our whole person and I believe these 4 areas are keys to unlocking some amazing potential leading to news ways of being and living.
