How do you define yourself?

In this episode of the "Someone Gets Me" podcast, Dianne explores the complexities of self-definition. As an intuitive mentor, she prompts listeners to reflect on their own identities beyond surface-level labels. Sharing anecdotes and personal experiences, Dianne challenges the subjective nature of terms like "musician" and "legend," while discussing the influence of external opinions on self-perception. She encourages introspection, journaling, and feedback to aid in self-discovery. Drawing on philosophical ideas, she advises distilling one's essence into two descriptors and emphasizes self-definition as an evolving process.

 

🌟 The Quest for Self-Definition 🌟 Have you ever paused to consider what truly defines you? Is it your job, your passions, or something more profound? This week, I'm peeling back the layers of what it means to define oneself. I'll share personal stories and the fascinating experiences of individuals I've encountered, like musicians who hesitate to claim their title. It's a conversation that will challenge you to think beyond the surface.

💭 Reflect and Reveal 💭 I'll prompt you with questions and examples that will ignite your curiosity and inspire reflection. How do you see yourself, and how do you want the world to see you? Let's explore the subjective nature of labels and the power they hold.

🎨 Overcoming External Doubts 🎨 I'll get personal and talk about how a single comment from my art teacher once made me question my creativity. It's a testament to the impact of external voices on our self-perception and the importance of reclaiming our narrative.

📚 Philosophy Meets Self-Discovery 📚 Ever heard of Plato's forms? We'll touch on philosophical ideas that encourage us to look beyond roles and titles, urging you to distill your essence into just two descriptor words. What would yours be?

👑 Stand in Your Sovereignty 👑 Remember, defining yourself is a dynamic, ever-evolving process. I'll remind you of the power of standing in your own sovereignty and agency, and how embracing this can lead to a more authentic and joyful life.

🤝 Connect with Kindred Spirits 🤝 And don't forget, our "Someone Gets Me" Facebook group is a vibrant space to meet others on similar paths. It's a place to share, learn, and grow together in authenticity and support.

Love is more than a feeling

In this episode of the "Someone Gets Me" podcast, host Diane Allen explores the complex nature of love, challenging the notion that it's merely a feeling or that it inherently causes pain. She discusses love as a state of being and the importance of recognizing and expressing one's love language. Diane encourages listeners to reflect on their personal experiences with love, to understand it as an energy that can coexist with other emotions, and to communicate love in ways that resonate with their unique relationships.

Key Discussion:

• 🌟 Love: Beyond a Feeling Have you ever felt that love is just an emotion that comes and goes? Let's challenge that notion together. In our conversation, we explore how love is an enduring presence, a state of being that transcends fleeting feelings.

  💔 Dispelling the Myth: Love and Pain It's a common belief that love is synonymous with pain, but I invite you to join me as we dissect this misconception. We'll uncover how true love uplifts rather than wounds, and how to recognize when it's not love but control or misalignment causing us hurt.

  💖 Embracing Love as Your State of Being Imagine living in a constant state of love, where it's not just about the act of loving but about being love itself. We'll talk about how to cultivate this within ourselves, making love an unshakable part of who we are.

  🗣️ Speaking Your Unique Love Language Each of us has a special way of expressing and receiving love. In this episode, we delve into the importance of discovering and honoring our individual love languages, and how doing so can transform our relationships.
