Fav quotes from this episode:

‘Fat girls shouldn’t do this, fat girls shouldn’t do that’

‘Life is not supposed to be this hard’

'In my teens and 20s I was fearless!'

‘There is so much more to life than you think there is! Why on earth are you holding back?’

'Put me to bed, turn my phone off and tell me it's bed time!'

'I’m an adult but I don’t do the washing up, ever!'

In this episode we talk about:


  • Being an Entrepreneur with bipolar disorder
  • The line between the responsibility of what we have to get done, and the fun stuff!
  • How you can support others struggling with their mental health
  • Coming to terms with being diagnosed with bipolar disorder and advice for your younger self
  • Breaking down the internal barriers of what you ‘should’ look like
  • That it’s OK to live each day one day to the next

 

Plus, we have a good chat about the the notion of perfect, what it means to be ‘done’ and having achieved the ‘ideal’ life. We commend the likes of Stephen Fry and Carrie Fisher and are thankful for them as important role models in the breaking down of mental health stigma, and agree that sometimes it’s OK to want to watch DuckTales all day long!

About the Podcast

Adulting with Ebonie
Your weekly dose of introspection and contemplation on what it means and takes to be a conscious, creative adult with a misfit mind.
Adulting with Ebonie is the weekly podcast that brings together Neurodiversity, Human Design and Embodiment so that Gen X or Millennial Misfits (and late-diagnosed Neurospices) become empowered, embodied and fully expressed. Where I actively encourage you to feel your feelings rather than think them, glow up not grow up and become full of yourself, because who the f*ck else should you be full of? Each week I have real and raw conversations about what it takes to be fully resourced and have happy healthy intimate relationships as a dopamine-deficient adult wanting to create a better future by being the change you want to see in the world.
