    The story I had to finally face | Becoming a bestselling author Pt. 1

    This episode is layered. In part one of this two-part series, Ebony takes listeners behind the scenes of her journey to becoming a bestselling author — a process that began long before writing the chapter itself. Before Sedona. Before the manuscript. Before the words hit the page. There was story mining. In this deeply personal conversation, Ebony shares what it looked like to revisit painful memories, face the abuse she had only spoken about out loud before, and uncover the thread connecting her survival, healing, motherhood, and purpose. This episode explores: What “story mining” actually isWhy writing trauma feels different than speaking itThe connection between self-trust and healingHow surviving shaped the woman, coach, and mother she is todayWhy thriving begins when we stop abandoning ourselves in the middle of our story If you’ve ever wondered how your pain connects to your purpose… this episode will meet you there.

We talk about: Why the messy middle feels so draining (even when you’re “just waiting”)The connection between nourishment and obedienceThe 3 types of nourishment every mother needs: physical, mental, and spiritualHow comparison and burnout creep in during waiting seasonsWhy community is the missing piece for sustaining you through it all If you’ve been feeling tired, stretched thin, or questioning where you are in your journey… this episode will help you come back to yourself. ✨ And if you’re in Atlanta, you’re invited to experience this in real life at The Morning Table and Seasoned Conversations where food, faith, and community come together.
