Someone Gets Me speaks to the gifted visionary who lies inside of you. Hosted by Dianne A. Allen, this podcast was created for those gifted and talented people who lie awake feeling alone inside. You are no longer alone. I created this podcast because we’ve all been there – feeling not understood, feeling not seen, feeling like people don’t care. You will hear from gifted people who have gotten over the chasm and have taken the leap to really create something special.

Change isn’t something to fear—it’s something to learn how to navigate.
In this episode of Someone Gets Me, Dianne A. Allen sits down with Jay Abbasi to explore how to move through life’s uncertainty with clarity, resilience, and intention.
After a profound personal loss, Jay shares how his journey led him to rethink everything—from how we handle grief to how we respond to fear, stress, and unexpected change. Together, they unpack the hidden patterns that keep people stuck and how simple mindfulness practices can create space for better decisions and greater emotional balance. They also explore the neuroscience behind fear, the importance of psychological safety in teams, and how shifting from reaction to awareness can transform both personal and professional life.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by change or unsure how to move forward, this conversation will give you practical tools and a new perspective.

Are the neurodivergent people on your team truly safe—physically, emotionally, and mentally?
In this episode of Someone Gets Me, Dianne A. Allen explores why neurodivergent overwhelm and burnout in the workplace are often rooted in leadership—and how they can be addressed through greater awareness and the creation of a genuinely neuroinclusive environment. She also explains what happens in the brain during burnout, defines what true safety in the workplace looks like, and explains why allowing space to downregulate is essential.
Because every person deserves to feel heard, respected, and valued, and as a leader, the safety of your people is part of your responsibility.
Ready to lead in a way that actually supports your people? Listen to this episode of the Someone Gets Me Podcast and begin building a workplace rooted in awareness, safety, and real inclusion.

How can you begin to use your ADHD in your favor?
In this episode of Someone Gets Me, Dianne A. Allen shares an impromptu and honest look into the “secret life” of a neurodivergent adult and those with ADHD. She opens up about her own journey as a gifted individual, highlights common patterns and practices many ADHD adults experience, and reframes what it means to be wired differently as a powerful and meaningful gift.
She invites us to begin honoring who we are and to intentionally surround ourselves with people who honor us as well. We are all deserving of a fulfilling, joyful life—and each of us carries something uniquely valuable to offer the world.

Our nervous system requires different ways of functioning.
In this episode of Someone Gets Me, Dianne A. Allen explores why neurodivergent visionaries are not meant to fit the conventional path, and how the struggles, loneliness, and exhaustion often come from trying to walk roads that were never meant for us. This is a reminder that visionaries see differently, so pay attention to your energy and how you feel because you are here to leave a legacy and offer your ultimate gift to the world.

Allow yourself to ride the waves of life and emotion, and receive the goodness that’s coming. You are capable of success.
In today’s episode of Someone Gets Me, Dianne A. Allen explores what to do when life doesn’t unfold the way we expected, especially for intensely sensitive and neurodivergent leaders. She speaks to the emotional waves that follow disappointment and how we can move through them without losing ourselves.
Dianne unpacks the hard truth behind self-blame, why receiving support is part of healthy leadership, and how clinging to beliefs that no longer serve us quietly creates more suffering. Because when we soften, allow support, and release outdated narratives, we make space for growth, resilience, and real success.

Your definition of normal may look different from someone else’s, and that’s exactly where your truth lives.
In this episode of Someone Gets Me, Dianne A. Allen sits down with Sandy Bean for an honest conversation about masking, its hidden costs, and how many gifted and neurodivergent people may already be paying the price without realizing it. Sandy also shares how growing up as a gifted child shaped her passion for advocating for gifted and twice-exceptional children beyond academic performance.
She also offers tips on navigating grief and overwhelm, explains how radical acceptance can transform the journey, and thoughtfully explores why masking can sometimes be necessary in social settings, even as we learn when and how to lay it down.
