Episode 7

The One About Community and Confidence

Published on: 29th October, 2020

In this episode, you will hear all about SPORT, COMMUNITY & CONFIDENCE.  Get a fresh outlook on how being part of a community can be a great pillar of strength during tough times and teach us lasting skills for everyday life.

Sensi Graves talks about looking at ourselves and finally starting to like ourselves. We discuss how we can learn to not allow our minds to be over populated with unrealistic expectations of how we think life should be, instead, following our own path and journey to see where it leads. Finally, we can have the confidence in ourselves to make the choices that are right for us. 

Listen on for:

  • How being part of a community can make you feel good and what does community mean for you?
  • Does participating in sports really build your confidence and help you deal with everyday struggles and mental health?
  • What fears hold us back and how can we overcome them?
  • Is there too much expected of us as we move into adulthood?
  • Learning to be body confident and understanding that we all go through the same self doubt, no matter what size or shape we are. 
  • Why do some of us struggle when it comes to asking for help?
  • Weight debates, how does it effect us and how do we view ourselves compared to others. 
  • Learning to love the process and failures as much as the achievements.

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.
