Episode 4

Episode 4 Medicine. Maven Mastery: Self Acceptance + Maturity

Published on: 3rd August, 2023

This weeks episode is a solo and a very personal, vulnerable share. I share my journey with trialing ADHD medication and the reaction from my community and also my own experience.

I share:

- Details about my birth and the connection with my relationship with dopamine, food, and intimacy

- My journey of self-acceptance, maturity and embracing my true self

- How removing layers of defence have enabled me to find more fulfilment and connection

- The importance of prioritizing my own healing and well-being

- My overall experience with trialling ADHD medication

NB: In the episode, I mention that there were two groups of response when I told my community that I would be trialling ADHD meds, I talk about the first, but didn't come back to the second. The second were the people who were concerned about my physical and psychological dependency on the meds. I talk more about this in the patron part of the podcast this week.

Links of resources mentioned in the episode:

The Psychiatrist I got my diagnosis from was Dr Hugo De Waal (I am only confident recommending him specifically rather than all their Doctors for diagnostics.)

Their mental health pharmacist Dr Azizah Attard has also been a real ally on my journey.

The hosts of the retreat I mentioned offer more in Portugal now. You can find out more here.

The episode I mentioned on 'THE IMPACT OF DOPAMINE DEFICIENCY ON INTIMACY' with Natalie Mc Ivor is here.

You can find out more about The MAVEN HAVEN here.

You can find out more about The value Filter (aka YOUR COMPASS) here.

and if you want to talk to me about anything in this episode you can whatsapp me or DM me on Instagram. (My 1:1 is now open for 6-month commitment starting in September)

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.
