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.

We have a wide range of emotions for a reason from elated to furious. The healthiest thing we can do as individuals is to not dismiss our feelings for the purpose of trying to force ourselves to feel something that we don't in that moment.
The best thing we can do for the people in our lives that we care about is to give them the empathy and space to feel their emotions and not be dismissive by responding with toxic positivity as if negative emotions are not a part of the human experience.
