Gifted Unleashed
Do you suffer from imposter syndrome? Have you been called „too much“, „too intense“ „too sensitive“? Do you just hate inequality? Do you have difficulties finding your career path because you are a multi potential person who has a 1000 ideas and 500 projects... all at the same time? Do you have a weird evolved sense of humor? Do you suffer from dyslexia but are fast at grasping new concepts? Do you have a hard time fitting in and sometime feel like a minority of one? Well you are not alone! This is why I am here. I felt the urge and need to have a place to collect all the interesting stories, concepts and ideas which inspired me over the last couple of years. But more importantly, I stumbled across a very interesting and surprising finding! It might help you realize that what you‘ve always thought what is „wrong“ with you, is actually what is right with you! Together we will explore the topic of giftedness, neurodiversity and twice-exceptionality (2e). You do not need an IQ test to listen but an open mind and a natural portion of curiosity. Welcome to Gifted Unleashed, the Podcast for Gifted and 2e Adults. (Formerly known as Unleash Monday)

Purpose Driven Self-Awareness! Meet Bayo Moses
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. He shares his story growing up neurodivergent in rural Northern Nigeria and how he learned about autism in adulthood.
TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:
- Bayo could not connect with his peers in school but was able to connect with older people.
- Realising there is nothing wrong with yourself but with your audience.
- Sometimes there is nothing wrong with you but with the teaching method.
- A hearing issue can be a sensory processing difference.
- Being neurodivergent is not a curse, being neurodivergent is not a problem that need fixing! It is not a disease that needs curing!
- Not fitting in socially can be a pain but can also work to your advantage! It depends on how you approach it.
- 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.
- Purpose Driven Self-Awareness: The best way to help yourself is to help others!
- Social experiences the same but the personal experience is divergent for autistic people
