Bayo Moses has 8+ years as a Book Coach and Developmental Editor. When he's not looking into manuscripts, you can find him on Google Meet catching fun as a personal development coach.

Being neurodivergent can be your personal super power!
The journey of self-awareness is not about happiness, it is about helping yourself!
The presentation of your story needs to be simple and audience centred! The idea might be simple but the impact can be profoundly.
We don’t need to balance things! Things are already balanced, we simply need to find what the balance is.
You are OK the way you are! There is nothing wrong with you.
Your happiness does not depend on social approval.
