ADHD. The Devils Advocate in You

We usually have the devils advocate within. We just have to listen to what it has to say.
Living with ADHD makes it easier to be creative and find the advocate inside.
Donāt be afraid to use it.

Some Issues About Coaches I Was Made Aware Of.

Hey All,
Recently, a few friends and acquaintances have brought up some issues about their coaches. Most complained about their coach not helping them with their anxiety or depression and asked if I could help.
