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 Someone Get's Me Podcast episode, I speak about self-care during grief. This topic is emotionally connected and confusing. This conversation is a timely topic that came to me as I was doing some self-care in a current time full of grief. So I'm speaking from my heart and recent experience as well as my decades of work with people and specializing in grief recovery.
First, let's define grief. Grief is a conflicting mass of human emotion following any behavior change. It includes the loss of a pet or a loved one, or a job. It also includes moving, getting married, and having babies. When we change our routine, we experience grief.
Sometimes we think that grieving looks sad or angry or only looks numb or shut down, or how dare you to laugh while you're suffering. These conflicting societal messages don't serve at all because grief is a contradictory mass of emotion following any significant behavior change.
Grief is handled in different ways. Four days ago, my beloved dog of 11 years, almost 12 years, died, which was traumatic for me. She was given to me by an old client as a thank-you for saving his life when she was a puppy. Maggie and I had an intuitive connection. She saved my life on more than one occasion. Maggie was right there beside me when I had surgeries and other things. Until the end, she took care of me in her way.
So what are the things that we want to do or that we don't want to do when it comes to grief?
- Give yourself permission to connect to people you know will listen and understand you - Pay attention to who you will share your grief with. Share your feelings with the people who will listen and say the right things. They will allow you to feel what will hold space for you during this time. They will not try to fix or save you.
- Cry as much as you need to - You honor yourself and your body when you cry. Don’t feel guilty if you don’t cry. There is no right way to grieve. There is only your way. There is nothing wrong if you don’t cry. Get clarity on how you move through your emotions. Take away the judgment we all drive differently because of our biology and sensory makeup.
All emotions are okay and healthy- Grief is a conflicting mass of emotions. You can be angry. You can be numb. You can be happy and joyful and cry.
Honor your timing and bandwidth.
Nurture yourself. Healing takes a lot of energy. Sleep, rest, and know that healing is personal. Honor yourself by doing things that feel good to you. Consider using candles, baths, and things that make you feel good.
Give yourself permission to feel joy and happiness again.
The truth is part of the healing journey is to walk through the difficulty and permit yourself to reawaken into a new and more amazing, inspired expression of who you are because of the power of that relationship that's now not in exact human form.
Thank you for listening, my friends, and thank you to those who knew Maggie for loving her.

“In this episode of the Someone Get’s Me Podcast, I share how to overcome approval addiction. Approval addiction comes in so many different forms. You can see how it applies to you, or if you know who this applies to, you can share this episode with them. Approval Addiction is when we filter from the outside and script and act the way we think someone wants us to approve of. This creates inner discord and repression and unresolved grief and anger.
As children, we go from being dependent to independent. The third step many people miss is when we become interdependent. This means we know we give and receive. The art of reciprocity in our adult interactions makes a healthy adult. To live an authentic and aligned life, we must let go of approval addiction and use the principles of the universe, love, kindness, and generosity.
Being addicted to the opinion of others is an unenlightened way to live, and many people are stuck living this way. Our brain tells us we all should be alike, yet we are all individuals.
Approval Addiction comes in many forms. Codependency is one of them.
- The first way to beat approval is to remind yourself that you are in charge. You don't need anyone else's approval. Remind yourself that you are in charge by using mantras or putting post-it notes as reminders. You're in charge of your life. How you live it and align with what you think, say, and do is 100% on you.
- The second way to beat approval addiction is to be open and receptive to counsel. Allow yourself to be open to people who have gone before you and know the way. Hearing the counsel of others It's an exchange. Connecting with another of like mind is the exchange the reciprocity.
- The third way to beat approval addiction is to give yourself permission to step out of situations so that you can follow your own guidance and intuitions like your own energy. It doesn't mean you have to get a divorce or get rid of all your friends. It does mean getting out of your own way.

In this episode of Someone Gets Me, Ashley Valliere joins the show to discuss her passion for the nervous system, embodiment, and learning ways to bring the brain into the body. Can we really turn our trauma, verbal or physical, into a superpower by listening to and integrating our bodies with our minds? This episode is perfect for any individual looking to reclaim their personal power and navigate the world of physical and verbal trauma.
Ashley shares her 15-year journey working with people and how she noticed various emotional outbursts in sessions such as anger, sadness, and shame. In response, she began a decade-long search to understand the connection between the brain and body and how to bring them into alignment. She now specializes in decoding the body, learning how to navigate how it communicates, and emotional intelligence.
Tune into this episode to hear Ashley explain how adding awareness to the body through physical movement can help to avoid feeling stuck and repeating patterns. She encourages listeners to use the potential of trauma and turn it into a superpower, a force for change.

Welcome to this episode of Someone Gets Me, where we explore what it means to be mentally hijacked and how to recognize and recover from it. Mental hijacking is when our thinking is taken over by outside influences that may not be serving us. This could be due to fear, stress, or being overwhelmed with input. In this episode, we will discuss five steps to help you identify whether you’re mentally hijacked and how to come out of it.
The first step is to get curious. Check out the energy and explore your options.
The second step is to allow your creativity to emerge and focus on your personal mission.
The third step is to center and ground yourself by using your breath.
The fourth step is to clear your mind and focus lovingly on your own world.
The fifth step is to give yourself a feedback loop and look for the good and the opportunity.
Finally, it is important to give yourself time and space to reset. That could be something as simple as taking a break, a walk, being with your pet, or something bigger like going away for a retreat. We hope this episode of Someone Gets Me serves you and has inspired you. If you have any questions or would like to book a one-on-one call with me, be sure to check the links below. Thank you for listening!

Friends, today's episode of Someone Gets Me is meant to inspire you, give you hope, and help give you some ideas and things to consider about setting the healthy boundaries that we need to set and learning about how to say no without feeling guilty. I have so many clients I work with individually, and we spend time learning how to set boundaries, say no, and not have guilt happen on the backend. So that's what today's episode is about. I hope it serves you and you can listen to it over and over if you want to share it with your friends, and let's help everyone have clear, healthy, meaningful boundaries that lack squishiness.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔ Your personal limits and your boundaries and your needs and your wants are valid and should be respected by you first. So many people say I would've, but I was afraid, or I would've but I was this and that. Those excuses tell me you don't respect yourself; you don't respect your own rules of engagement in the world. It starts there. It starts with that inner work.
✔ Clarity. Be clear. Yes means yes, and no means no. If I say, no, you can push me all you want to, and I'm still going to say it because if you ask me something and I'm not sure I go think about it and pray about it and ponder some more until I have an answer, and then that's the answer. But I always reserve the right to change my mind.
✔ Remember that other people's reactions are theirs, not yours. I have watched people get upset and then the other person gets upset and it gets all crazy or conversely, everybody gets happy and they're jumping all around. Well, everybody can have all those experiences, but remember your experiences are yours and mine are mine and everybody else's is everybody else's because that's how it rolls.
✔ You want a way to increase your awareness and express yourself. You want to always be growing in your awareness and understanding. This may be through trusted mentors and friends, journaling, sharing, and setting boundaries. If you are growing and changing and evolving and moving forward in your life, expect that you are going to have a different experience as time unfolds with some of the same situations.
✔ You must have ongoing radical self-care. Your self-discovery, self-development and your desire to grow and evolve and live your vision plus all those things that are trying to emerge through you into the world are why you're here. You need to take care of yourself. You need to put on your oxygen mask first because you can't help anybody if you're not taking care of yourself.
✔ Life is fluid and it's not static. Things move and change. Just because something works today and you've made a choice today, doesn't mean that's how it's always going to be. When you are rigid, and you hold on it makes you very fragile and causes you to fall. Reserve the right to change your mind!

Welcome to a new year. Today we are talking about an atmosphere of praise and gratitude.
Sometimes our presence has the power to change things. The atmosphere around us is important. We should pay attention to it. What energy are you feeling? Do you notice the feeling that other people leave behind?
We can choose an atmosphere of praise and gratitude where we create new ways to offer positivity to the world. This is a cumulative phenomenon that makes our world change for the better.
The same accumulation happens when people live in fear and negativity.
Are you currently the person who lives in fear and is the complaining type? The person with negative energy making the atmosphere heavy with your complaining? Offer praise and gratitude even in the face of adversity.
If you were a flower, what kind our flower would you be? A flower with a sweet scent or one with thorns.
How are you moving into the next day, week year?
Move all the heavy doomsday thinking out of your mind and feel what it feels like to be neutral and present.
Once we shift, we can create an atmosphere of grace and love. Simply by shifting what we think and what we say.
What is most prevalent in you is what comes out of you under stress. How do you react under pressure?
The state of your heart is evident in your reactions when you are under pressure.
This episode reminds us that our human trajectory can be interesting, but it is up to us the energy and atmosphere and how we are remembered in this world.
How do you want to be remembered? By fear or love?
I invite you to an exercise. Use gratitude throughout your day. Offer gratitude. Say thank you! When you meet someone during your day, as you drive, as you go through the doorways.
Remember to put your face to the sun so the shadows fall behind you.
Be on purpose, with a purpose.

Are you thinking of getting started in science and research? 🧬🔬🥼
Dr. Jennifer Bizon says it's never too late to explore what excites you and to invest in your interests.
As the Chair of the Department of Neuroscience at the University of Florida, Dr. Bizon's journey as an academic researcher in neuroscience was not easy. An incredible lady and an empathic leader, a visionary, a researcher, and a scientist — she graces the show to talk about the joy of discovery, the gift of connecting with gifted individuals, and the inspiring capacity of a woman moving forward in the world of science.
Watch Someone Gets Me ▶️ Women in Science and Research
with Dr. Jen Bizon.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ The transformative power of online learning. Online education is booming, not just the formal online class but the whole scientific enterprise, whether it's the meetings, talks, cohorts, and anything about new findings. Dr. Bizon shares that since everything can be done effectively in an online format, we're breaking down distance barriers in a way that will help with accessibility or increasing diversity in science.
✔️ It's becoming more and more expected that we show up in our entirety at the workplace. After decades of emphasizing the importance of inclusivity in the workplace, more and more organizations are learning to embrace their employees to become their most authentic selves.
✔️ Many women thrive in science, research, and technology as they are given more support in balancing having children and careers. Organizations that value and treat their people with respect bring out the best in them and encourage authenticity and innovation.
✔️ As a leader, bring out the best ideas from your people with the knowledge that not everybody can speak their minds outright. 🧠✨
Dr. Bizon reminds us to always ask. Make sure that there are multiple ways you take those diverse views, especially from the gifted and the introverted, and help them have a voice.

Dr. Jennifer Bizon is a Professor in the Department of Neuroscience at the University of Florida, College of Medicine.

It's so easy to get caught up in destination addiction and focus only on the goal and looking at the finish line. The truth is that when we do that — we miss so much of our life. Who wants to watch a movie missing all the details and only getting to "the end"? The richness of life is in the journey and enjoying the process of getting there.
If you want more joy, pay attention on a deeper level by using all of your senses to do it. In this episode, I share suggestions on ramping up your joy a little bit more as you go into the new year and the new season in the story of your own life.
Watch Someone Gets Me ▶️ Joy On The Journey with Dianne A. Allen.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔ Jettison the things that don't work. Scrap the old belief systems and the old stuff you're holding onto, and clear yourself of chaos from the inside out so you can be clutter-free in your thoughts. Stop holding onto guilt, resentment, fear, worry, or doubt. It's time to jettison those things and allow joy to spring up because those heavy things will always push happiness down and make it harder to feel it.
✔ Omit, omit, omit things that don't serve you. A good question to ask yourself: Is what I'm about to do for the highest good of all concerned? Or is what I'm doing, thinking, and saying getting me where I want to go? Because we often want a certain goal, our thoughts, words, and actions don't align with that goal. That creates dissonance, and it steals our joy.
✔ In setting new goals, one must supplement the desire with the decision. Making that decision means cutting off everything except those you consider most essential. It can be easier said than done, but this concept can make the most extraordinary results when we are resolute in applying it in our lives.
✔ This basic rule is often forgotten: If you look for the bad, you will find it. If you look for the good, you will find it. As humans, we are given two positive and negative choices that become our reality. Remember, where your attention goes, energy follows.
✔ Let your heart be full of goodness, knowing that your light will extinguish the darkness. Your happiness and purpose will come to you, but first, learn to yield that everything happens for your highest good, even amid the brokenness. Pay attention to the timing that's made perfect for you. Growth is in the waiting, and patience creates more meaning, depth, and richness.
✔ Practice not hurrying through life. Slow it down a little bit. Pay attention. Appreciate nature. Appreciate yourself. Next time you're outside, check out the clouds. If it's nighttime, check out the stars. What's happening with all the animals and the foliage around, wherever you are? What about the breeze on your face? Look for the good and increase your joy because the world is a tricky place.
