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.

Welcome to a new episode of Someone Gets Me. I sat down with client and friend Michelle Royal, an innovation expert and intensely sensitive business leader. This is quite a unique yet special show as we share with you this authentic conversation representing many of our discussions over our life's journey as highly sensitive and gifted people. We talk about the pain of otherness, handling anxiety and depression, and the many other things we've had to overcome to get where we are now and what we still work through every single day.
Join me in this episode of Someone Gets Me —The Dark Side of Being Gifted with Michelle Royal ▶️
✔️ Belonging and being heard is so important. Being different and alienated is what we may feel for most of our lives. It can be a real rough ride to reach a point of validation and feel like you belong somewhere.
✔️ "There is no need to pathologize." Michelle shares that this is the advice that saved her life. With intensities she didn't know how to manage, she went through numerous treatments, programs and events until she understood that there was nothing wrong with her. "Depression and anxiety didn't debilitate me anymore. I could fully utilize my gifts, put things in place and walk through them."
✔️ Create new rules. Understand the spirit of laws. Know how to dance in the chaos. According to Michelle, this can be your beautiful experience when you finally accept who you are. "I follow my heart, which for me is sometimes more important than my gut. That's the daydream. Not only is it more fun, but you literally get to write the rules."
✔️ You can be joyful, beautiful, difficult and messy all the same time. The intense, sensitive people are here to bring the change forward since we can see things multifaceted and feel things on such a deep level.
✔️ Purpose can be a powerful energy producer. You can get out of bed every day committed to your personal evolution and excited to expand your ability to make a difference for others.
Michelle Royal is an innovation expert with over twenty years of experience. She specializes in developing tools and frameworks for global enterprise clients, helping them identify and implement ideas yielding multi-million dollar returns.

It was back in the 80s when we went to see Figment. I was really depressed, but nobody knew it for a gifted and twice-exceptional child. I was very good at playing and looking like I was doing great all the time. I was successful in school, making excellent grades and racing sailboats. I was friendly and did all kinds of things. But secretly inside, I didn't think I should be alive anymore.
Join me in this episode of Someone Gets Me —Figment of my Imagination with Dianne A. Allen ▶️
✔️ It was Figment, his song, and his ride that ultimately changed the trajectory of my life. A famous Disney character not many of todays' generation have heard of leaves his music from Journey Into Imagination called "One Little Spark" that lends so much hope and inspiration.
..."One spark of light,
Can light your fancy.
Your mind sees more,
Then what your eyes see.
Your sense of sight can make your fancy fly,
There's more to sight than meets the eye."
✔️ One little spark from a little purple dragon gave me hope to live.
I bring Figment with me everywhere I go. He reminds me that life is worth living and that there is always more. Being gifted with many overexcitabilities and being intuitive and an empath can be a messy and tricky road. I didn't even have any of those words to describe my life back then; I'm grateful for Figment and the ones who wrote that catchy song that changed my life.
✔️ In my work of leading other people toward their vision, it brings tears to my eyes to think how I was able to get here—the power of that one little spark in my childhood that changed everything.
Remember that the figment in your imagination is beautiful and amazing, and it can save you and anyone from angst, depression or anxiety. I am forever grateful to whoever wrote that song, for the purple dragon Figment and to my God and creator for bringing that answered prayer that I didn't even know I had because I'm alive today and working as a beneficial presence on the planet.

It took immeasurable pain and helplessness that compelled Karin Hill to overcome and brought her to her life's purpose. A leading mindset coach, her vision kept her going forward, hoping to help as many people as she could. Her greatest belief that she holds true is that once we've changed ourselves, we can't help but change others too.
Tune in to this episode of Someone Gets Me — How to Use Mindset to Unlock Inner Wisdom with Karin Hill ▶️
✔️ By 2024, the top reason people go to the doctor is for a stress-related illness. Life's too short -- you don't have to suffer and continue to do so in silence. There is help, and there are so many ways out.
✔️ Healed people heal people. Karin Hill's greatest life mission is to help people manage stress and anxiety. As a certified performance coach, registered hypnotherapist, and NLP practitioner, she shares lifesaving steps to overcome daily pressures & master the mind and body.
✔️When you get all that "external static", it's hard to hear your own inner wisdom. The daily pressures and emotional tension we experience put us in a position wherein it gets challenging to quiet all that external chatter and get the mind clear and hear that inner wisdom that we all have.
✔️ We get stuck in the what-ifs of everything that could go wrong and always forget about what if things could go right. Our thoughts create our emotions. Unfortunately, nobody can police our thoughts other than ourselves. We tend to forget that we can get to a better situation by changing our mindset.
Karin Hill is a leading mindset coach who helps women over 40 move through major transitions, reconnect, and take positive action on their deepest wisdom.
Her secret formula is delivered through various Immersive Experience Guidance Programs and helps clients connect with their innermost dialogue, the Still Small Voice of Wisdom.
Karin is a certified performance coach, registered hypnotherapist, registered NLP practitioner in practice for 11 years and has worked with hundreds of individuals to achieve their goals.

Do you feel the need to "just get through the holidays" and think that there's a necessity to participate in traditions with people who are your so-called family and friends? We have all these beliefs that we should get through it sacrificing our peace and wellness for a few moments in a year. Marketing tactics have done that to us over the years, and let me tell you; it's not right.
In this episode, understand why you don't have to go through traditions that wear you out and learn how to overcome loneliness in a supposedly magical time of the year.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Tip 1: Make your personal holiday tradition. Make a relevant tradition that will help ground you as you grow through the years to come. Whether you can be with other people or not, follow an activity that is meaningful for you.
✔️ Tip 2: Create a protected and dedicated time to connect with you. You can't be interrupted during that moment. Honor your feeling of loss and pain and feel lonely.
✔️ Tip 3: Create laughter! Whether it's laughter yoga, a funny movie or anything that's just fun for you -- do that. Permit yourself to laugh because this helps your brain. It reminds us there's more to life than our loneliness or our pain, or our grief. There is much more.
✔️ Tip 4: Look for the good. Find meaningful ways to experience what matters. What is happening that can serve you? Ask where is the good within loneliness? Where is the light within the darkness? Where is the nugget of joy? Be willing to look for it.
✔️ Tip 5: Reach out and connect with other people, even people you don't yet know. Volunteer and offer your time in places where you are needed. Even with online platforms, you can connect with people and serve. When you are in a position of service for a group of people, it is easy to help that lonely part of you to calm down and not be so active. You have a right to feel your feelings, but you also have the responsibility not to allow them to run your show.

Unaware of clinically having Dyslexia, former professional hockey player Brent Sopel discovered his disability at age 32. In this inspiring episode, Brent shares what the real struggles looked like, contrary to what many people understand them and why it's essential to talk about this handicap to help young people who are undiagnosed and misunderstood.
Join me in this episode of Someone Gets Me —Neurodiversity in Everyday Life with Brent Sopel ▶️
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Many adults that are gifted and neurodiverse don't find out about their own situation until their children get diagnosed. Such is the case with Brent Sopel. He profoundly understands the struggles of people living with dyslexia who have to deal with reduced career opportunities, social isolation, and lower satisfaction in all areas of life.
✔️ Hockey saved Brent in many ways. It didn't only serve as a job but also as a self-esteem booster. As a visual and physical sport, hockey fits into Brent's natural abilities without all the reading and writing struggle experienced in school all day long.
✔️ Have an extra empathy chip. Many people with dyslexia continue to suffer from a lack of understanding and support. People need to understand the disability and be more aware as suicides have tripled in the last ten years, with an intense 90% of suicide notes left by a person with dyslexia.
✔️ Early diagnosis of Dyslexia and the early understanding of what turns it into a gift. Dyslexia is positively correlated with intelligence; even though there's a misnomer, people might feel bad about themselves.
✔️ By starting the Brent Sopel Foundation, his mission is to provide financial and educational support and early detection and intervention that people with dyslexia deserve.
✔️ Don't ever ask, "Why me?" Whatever that pain is, it's gotten you here today. Brent has this to say to everyone going through dyslexia. "You're not alone. No matter what you are going through, your battles -- know that we all go through things. But we can go through it together."

This has been a stressful period for all of us. Whether you're gifted, intensely sensitive or not, problems feel magnified that arise from health to economic, social, political and environmental things. It's just everywhere. In this episode, I share five great little tranquilizers that I use to remind myself that it's going to be OK, that I don't have to get caught up in the whirlwind of craziness with COVID, with the political climate, or with what's going on in the climate itself.
Key points covered in this episode:
1 - There's always something more. Breathe and remember that we all have the potential for greatness. When we turn that focus from looking outside of us for somebody else to save us or give us the answer, and we go within, we realize that we're fully equipped to be who we're meant to be at the perfect time.
2 - Take care of the physical and the spiritual part of you; there is no exclusion of the other. When you prioritize the wholeness of who you are, only can you better give and extend love to others.
3 - Know and understand the truth in your innermost being. Do you realize the vast knowledge you have inside you? Not just cognitive ability, but the wisdom of your heart, the intelligence in your gut, and the knowing of your soul.
4 - Abundance is everywhere. In times of great trials, fears, tribulation or pain -- remind yourself that God as the source of all will provide in perfect ways.
5 - Evolving in phases and stages. We expect ourselves to go from zero to 100 in no time when it comes to our personal development. There are stages and steps, and sometimes we're on them longer than others. Life is like a big Montessori school where you might learn one thing faster than me, and I might learn faster than you, and in the end, we both get all the lessons.

Victoria-Rose Supper wears many hats as a social media strategist, publicist and musician and fully enjoys taking on more interests when she decides to accept her quirkiness as her strength.
Join me in this episode of Someone Gets Me — What Happens When You Accept Being A Gifted Adult ▶️
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Music is the easiest and the most honest way to connect with the world. Victoria shares her journey to knowing herself and how songs and melody became an outlet of her genius and a gift of healing.
✔️ When you try and put yourself into a box -- that is such a lonely experience. When we try to fit ourselves into something that we are not, we have to deny a part of us to do that, which is trying to cut off an arm and pretend we still have two. We're trained in society to follow and always ensure to be "coloring inside the lines". We see later in life that we don't need it.
✔️ If you don't take a break, your body will take a break for you.
Give yourself time, flexibility, grow and love yourself through the process.
✔️ What part of you do you continue to deny? Teach yourself to honor your body, mind and heart. Start living the life you are meant to live by embracing yourself fully.
About Victoria-Rose
Building people up has been a life-long passion of Victoria-Rose’s, whether it’s through music, in the classroom, or telling their stories on the internet.
She’s been lucky enough to get to work with brands and public figures like Dianne A. Allen, With Understanding Comes Calm, the Dali Museum, Visit St. Petersburg/Clearwater, and Clearwater Marine Aquarium as a social media strategist and publicist - but her biggest passion lies in music.
Having begged her parents to let her take piano at the age of five, Victoria-Rose decided from a very young age that music would always be a major part of her life. Although she predominantly performs as an atmospheric pianist, you can also find her playing in the orchestra pit and singing onstage in various theatres across the Tampa Bay Area.
While not managing social media accounts or making music, Victoria-Rose can be found learning coding for kicks, browsing local bookstores, planning theatre experiences, sampling local tea rooms, and wandering the streets of Downtown St. Pete.

When we're gripped with fear, it's impossible to be true to ourselves and live our authentic best life. In this episode, allow me to give you the five essential ways to help you see what's going on and empower yourself to be true to YOU. Because if you're not true to yourself, it's impossible to be fully present for life and anyone else.
Key points covered in this episode:
1: Be good to yourself and others. Being good is setting healthy boundaries, speaking with kindness and having compassion or doing something for someone who needs your help right now. What I mean by this is not the superficial kind. Are you willing to go within and be of service and be good now? The rule is you have to be good to yourself before you're good to anybody else.
2: Enjoy the reciprocity of life, the give and take. It's important to remember you might need help from your friends and they'll help you, and then there'll be other times that they'll need you and you'll help them. That's the flow. It's never meant to be one-sided.
3: Prepare for pressure. Prepare for the fact that we will have things to deal with, like safety concerns, storms, weird traffic or illness. There will be things that apply pressure to our system, and we want to be prepared for it, and we start by looking within. We want to learn how to say yes and no in healthy ways.
4: Know what to say. Unless you're telling some funny story or you're teaching a lecture, but if you can't deliver your message in 25 words, you're talking too much. Sometimes, there's a lot of superfluous information and tangents and over-explaining that make you lose your listener.
5: Find and use support. I see people struggling through things, and everybody around is like: "If only we knew we would be there for you." But the real reason is they just don't want to take help. It's not healthy, and it doesn't work. So to be true to yourself, you want to practice giving and receiving support now.

This episode hits close to home as I have been experiencing intense, significant discomfort recently. I see pain everywhere with what's going on with COVID— of being disconnected from our source and joy. Battling and managing my own pain made me realize lessons learned from pain and the opportunity it brings afterwards.
Join me in this episode of Someone Gets Me —Mastering the Art of Discomfort ▶️
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ In a place of discomfort, we must permit ourselves to experience it.
We must not try to hide it or minimize it. It doesn't mean we walk around whining and complaining either; it means that we're honest with ourselves. So when you're going through a hard time, understand that it's helping you see your strength; it's helping you know who you are. It's helping you grow beyond what you realize you can do.
✔️ When you have a difficult time, you can still love yourself in the middle of it. Just because it's hard doesn't mean there's something wrong with you or that you're bad or did anything wrong. It means that it's a tricky time. To learn more different ways to do self-love to go through this season.
✔️ Being alive and being able to experience pain is a gift. Sounds goofy and maybe a little paradoxical, but wouldn't you instead be experiencing challenges than experience nothing if numbed with drugs, alcohol, or dead?
✔️ Whatever the discomfort is, we will be able to use those lessons to serve other people. Whether it's a better understanding of what you go through, a heart with more compassion and acquiring knowledge based on your experience will help others who will go the same way as you.
✔️ Any pain or separation is an invitation to go deeper into our soul and our purpose. There is a greater mission and lesson in everything. Honoring ourselves, our journey and being open-minded pays off for the greater good.
✔️ Remember, there can't be a Phoenix without a fire. So what if your discomfort is that fire that you're going to rise out of? What if it's your opportunity coming through having to burn off the stuff that's not needed? So that's something more amazing can show up. That's the sense I have about what I'm going through, and it's not easy, but you will surpass it.

Gifted adults who possess greater sensitivity, awareness and potential are predisposed to dealing with an emotional crisis. When they go through trauma or disruption in their lives — they tend to shut down. How do they manage and facilitate the healing they seek?
In this powerful episode, Eric Windhorst, a counselor and coach specializing in Ecopsychology, Ecotherapy, and Therapeutic Landscapes, shares what it takes to find cues and clues from nature and achieve the happiness they deserve.
Join me in this episode of Someone Gets Me —Connecting with Your Authentic Nature with Eric Windhorst. ▶️
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ All of us are vital pieces of the greater whole. Eric shares drastic consequences for the rest of the world when even one person is disconnected from their natural sense.
✔️ Honor the seasons of your life. There are times we can be dormant and internal. And there are times to be more active and expressive. Even if we're intense and accomplish a lot, there's a need to breathe, think and surrender that there's a natural rhythm to the entire system.
✔️ Everything happens precisely when it's meant to happen. With nature, Everything is on time. We have to learn to be patient with processes and ourselves; when gifted people understand this concept, it can be powerful and freeing.
✔️ To heal the planet & to heal ourselves; we need a different level of awareness. "We can do that by just tuning into fundamental consciousness, tuning into what's present around us, which is nature. It's all around us. Our inner nature and outer nature they're not really separate but one."
✔️ Your own personal work is part of collective healing. Eric emphasizes the integration of inner nature and outer nature and that a person who gets to experience that connection is shifting the entire thing already. "My firm belief is when you get plugged in when you plug into your inner self, and you plug into the wider kind of system, you're literally allowing more energy to flow for everybody else."
Eric Windhorst, PhD, RP, is a counselor/coach/psychotherapist, educator, writer, and (re)searcher passionate about connecting people with nature—both inner nature (their true, authentic self) and outer nature (the wider natural world)—to facilitate healing and growth. Eric approaches his work holistically, informed by ecopsychological, family systems, humanistic, Jungian, and transpersonal ideas. He specializes in serving individuals who identify as creative, gifted, and highly sensitive. You can learn more about Eric and his work @ ericwindhorst.ca.
