Someone Gets Me Podcast

Dianne A. Allen

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.

    Being Seen Without Losing Yourself

    Saying no is often the first step toward truly saying yes to yourself. In this episode of Someone Gets Me, Dianne A. Allen is joined by Pearl Chiarenza, a Say Yes to Your Life™ Coach, author, speaker, and retreat facilitator, to explore how gifted individuals can be fully seen in the world without losing themselves, and how Pearl became a powerful advocate for self-care and healthy boundaries. Together, they also dive into the importance of getting clear about your “joy list” and your “no list,” how to find your way back after losing yourself, and how to support others with compassion when they are grieving.   Watch the Someone Gets Me Podcast – Being Seen Without Losing Yourself   Did you enjoy this episode?

    When Things Don't Happen the Way You Want

    Allow yourself to ride the waves of life and emotion, and receive the goodness that’s coming. You are capable of success. In today’s episode of Someone Gets Me, Dianne A. Allen explores what to do when life doesn’t unfold the way we expected, especially for intensely sensitive and neurodivergent leaders. She speaks to the emotional waves that follow disappointment and how we can move through them without losing ourselves. Dianne unpacks the hard truth behind self-blame, why receiving support is part of healthy leadership, and how clinging to beliefs that no longer serve us quietly creates more suffering. Because when we soften, allow support, and release outdated narratives, we make space for growth, resilience, and real success.   Catch the full episode of  When Things Don't Happen the Way You Want on the Someone Gets Me Podcast!   Did you enjoy this episode?

    The Hidden Cost of Masking

    Your definition of normal may look different from someone else’s, and that’s exactly where your truth lives.   In this episode of Someone Gets Me, Dianne A. Allen sits down with Sandy Bean for an honest conversation about masking, its hidden costs, and how many gifted and neurodivergent people may already be paying the price without realizing it. Sandy also shares how growing up as a gifted child shaped her passion for advocating for gifted and twice-exceptional children beyond academic performance.   She also offers tips on navigating grief and overwhelm, explains how radical acceptance can transform the journey, and thoughtfully explores why masking can sometimes be necessary in social settings, even as we learn when and how to lay it down.   Watch the Someone Gets Me Podcast – The Hidden Cost of Masking   Did you enjoy this episode?

    Holding Space Supporting Others Without Absorbing Their Energy

    Sign up for “Different by Design: A Retreat for Gifted, Sensitive & Neurodivergent Adults” happening January 30-31, 2026 https://retreatwithdianne.com/   The most important rule: always ask before doing something for someone.   In this episode of Someone Gets Me, Dianne A. Allen shares how neurodivergent and gifted people can be present and hold a truly safe space without absorbing other people’s energy. She explains how to show up with dignity and kindness while still honoring your own limits.   Dianne unpacks how the body pays a physical price for absorbed energy, why doing things for someone can unintentionally lower their self-esteem, and how overstepping—even with good intentions—can cross important boundaries.   It’s not noble to carry the weight of everyone else’s pain. When you respect your inner boundaries and stand in your agency, you create healthier connections for yourself and for others.   Watch the Someone Gets Me Podcast – Holding Space: Supporting Others Without Absorbing Their Energy   Did you enjoy this episode?
