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.

In this episode, Dianne A. Allen explores the necessity of joy and play for gifted and neurodivergent individuals and how we can welcome more of them into our daily lives.
She talks about the differences between joy and happiness, society’s hyperfocus on productvity, and how we can find balance with play.
Joy is an antidote to heaviness, and a lack of it mutes our creativity and brings existential loneliness.
Dianne encourages us to measure joy by how much we feel it, as we all experience it uniquely. Allow play in your life to bring back that beautiful, joyful essence in you.

In this episode, host Dianne A. Allen shares helpful tips for going after your bigger dreams and understanding your vision, without burning out or melting down.
She talks about how neurodivergent people are often big dreamers, why clear communication matters, and introduces the idea of something she calls "empath distress disorder." Dianne also highlights the importance of staying grounded, setting healthy boundaries, and honoring your own pace.
That inner fire you feel is your calling, so it’s important to be in safe spaces that support you. Your energy has its own rhythm, and that’s a strength. Your vision is something special, and that ache you feel? It’s there for a reason: to bring something meaningful into the world.

In this episode, host Dianne A. Allen explores why emotional and psychological safety is essential for neurodivergent individuals, whether at work, at home, or in relationships.
She shares the important role leaders play in creating spaces where gifted and neurodivergent people feel safe to be themselves. You’ll also learn how to recognize when someone feels safe in an environment, what happens when safety is missing, and how to tell if gifted individuals feel free to express themselves without fear.
Neurodivergent minds process the world differently, and that can sometimes lead to misunderstandings. But everyone deserves to be respected, no matter how messy life gets. A truly safe world starts at home and in the workplace. Every human being deserves dignity, inclusion, and kindness.

In this episode of Someone Gets Me, host Dianne A. Allen offers insights on breaking free from perfectionism in a gifted adult’s journey to wholeness.
She explains how perfectionism often begins in childhood through well-meaning praise and later becomes a personal struggle in adulthood. This can lead to a cycle of self-evaluation, a pattern that becomes an addiction. Dianne also outlines the emotional and mental costs of perfectionism and shares practical guidance for breaking free from its grip.
Dianne encourages us to embrace healthy striving rather than the need to be perfect. You are not simply a brain on a stick; you are much more than your intellect. Break free of perfectionism and move forward to wholeness because you are perfect just as you are.

In this episode, host Dianne A. Allen explores the power and beauty of having a beginner’s mind and shares five practical ways it can truly save you.
She reminds us why it’s important to speak up our minds and share our ideas, so we don’t get stuck in our own expertise. Focusing only on one thing risks losing precision. But when we allow ourselves to see things in an expanded and long-term perspective, everything changes.
Dianne encourages you to reconnect with the basics, even in areas where you're already an expert. Let your beginner’s mind keep you grounded and lead the way to success.
