Someone Gets Me Podcast

What are the unwritten rules of the workplace, and why does no one warn gifted people about them?

 

In this episode of Someone Gets Me, Dianne A. Allen draws from her own lived experience and the questions she hears most often from her clients to uncover five workplace realities that gifted, neurodivergent, and twice-exceptional adults are almost never told about in advance. From the way clarifying questions land, to reading the room at a level that leaves others behind, to the invisible lines around "just be yourself," Dianne names what so many gifted professionals have felt but never had language for.

 

She reminds us that our wiring is not the problem. The way we process, question, observe, and care is an asset, and understanding the environments we're operating in is what makes all the difference.

What if the answers you’ve been searching for are buried inside your own story?

In this episode of Someone Gets Me, Dianne A. Allen sits down with Carrie KC West to explore the practice of becoming your own archaeologist — digging into your past, your patterns, and your inherited belief systems to uncover who you truly are.

Carrie shares her extraordinary origin story: a traumatic childhood, the devastating loss of her father, rock bottom, and the unexpected epiphany in film school that taught her she could rewrite her own life like a script. Together, Dianne and Carrie unpack why empaths struggle to separate their emotions from others’, how pre-verbal beliefs get locked in before age two, and why crises and challenges are actually the universe asking for your attention. They also explore the power of awareness, the freedom that comes from mapping your family’s story, and what it means to stop living someone else’s narrative.

 

If you’ve ever wondered why certain patterns keep showing up in your life — in relationships, money, belonging, or self-worth — this conversation will give you the tools to finally go looking.

What does it really mean to be hopelessly neurodivergent — and why is that something to celebrate?

In this episode of Someone Gets Me, Dianne A. Allen shares an honest and heartfelt look into the everyday inner life of a neurodivergent, gifted adult. From the challenge of opening mail to navigating brain fog, body doubling, seasonal rhythms, and the relentless inner critic — Dianne speaks from lived experience and invites listeners to stop masking, stop apologizing, and start embracing the way they are wired.

She reminds us that there is nothing wrong with being wired differently. Whether you have ADHD, are gifted, twice exceptional, or simply feel like the world wasn't designed for your brain — this episode is a permission slip to show up as your authentic, quirky, brilliant self.

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.
