The Someone Gets Me podcast is a place for smart, gifted, talented and sensitive people who are searching to be understood. It is for those who are yearning to navigate through an often-insensitive world in a productive manner.
In this episode, Dianne A. Allen explores the necessity of joy and play for gifted and neurodivergent individuals and how we can welcome more of them into our daily lives. She talks about the differences between joy and happiness, society's hyperfocus on productvity, and how we can find balance with play. Joy is an antidote to heaviness, and a lack of it mutes our creativity and brings existential loneliness. Dianne encourages us to measure joy by how much we feel it, as we all experience it uniquely. Allow play in your life to bring back that beautiful, joyful essence in you. Be inspired on the Someone Gets Me Podcast – The Necessity of Joy and Play for the Neurodivergent Individual.

In this episode, host Dianne A. Allen explores why emotional and psychological safety is essential for neurodivergent individuals, whether at work, at home, or in relationships. She shares the important role leaders play in creating spaces where gifted and neurodivergent people feel safe to be themselves. You'll also learn how to recognize when someone feels safe in an environment, what happens when safety is missing, and how to tell if gifted individuals feel free to express themselves without fear. Neurodivergent minds process the world differently, and that can sometimes lead to misunderstandings. But everyone deserves to be respected, no matter how messy life gets. A truly safe world starts at home and in the workplace. Every human being deserves dignity, inclusion, and kindness.

In this episode of Someone Gets Me, host Dianne A. Allen offers insights on breaking free from perfectionism in a gifted adult's journey to wholeness. She explains how perfectionism often begins in childhood through well-meaning praise and later becomes a personal struggle in adulthood. This can lead to a cycle of self-evaluation, a pattern that becomes an addiction. Dianne also outlines the emotional and mental costs of perfectionism and shares practical guidance for breaking free from its grip. Dianne encourages us to embrace healthy striving rather than the need to be perfect. You are not simply a brain on a stick; you are much more than your intellect. Break free of perfectionism and move forward to wholeness because you are perfect just as you are.

In today's episode, we're going to talk about the mental health of visionary leaders. As a visionary leader, your mental health is not just about whether you have a diagnosis or not, or if you're sick. It's about your ability to effectively navigate the world and make a real difference. Visionary leaders, like you, have different considerations and additional challenges when it comes to mental health. It's not just about mental illness or having a diagnosis. It's about understanding and embracing your unique intensities and sensitivities. Navigating Mental Health as a Visionary Leader As someone who has been involved in caring about mental health since the 70s, Dianne your host has a great appreciation for the mental health of intensely sensitive people and visionaries. Visionary leaders are not just defined by their position in a company, but by their ability to see things differently and guide others in a meaningful, positive manner. Whether you're actively working in a corporate setting or enjoying retirement, your visionary leadership extends to all aspects of your life. If you're feeling overwhelmed or struggling with burnout and compassion fatigue, know that there is always help available. Seeking support and prioritizing your mental health is a crucial step towards maintaining your well-being as a visionary leader. Remember, radical self-care is vital for sustaining your ability to make a positive impact in the world. You have a vision inside to create something bigger than you. What you need is a community and a mentor. Personal mentoring will inspire you to grow, transform, and connect in new ways. The Someone Gets Me Experience could be that perfect solution to bringing your heart's desire into reality. You will grow, transform, and connect. https://msdianneallen.com/someone-gets-me-experience/ For a complimentary “Get to Know You” 30-minute call https://visionsapplied.as.me/schedule.php?appointmentType=4017868 Join our Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/someonegetsme Follow Dianne's Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/msdianneallen Email contact: dianne@visionsapplied.com Dianne's Mentoring Services: https://msdianneallen.com/ Website: https://visionsapplied.com/
Welcome to the Someone Gets Me podcast, with Dianne A Allen, your host. In this episode, I will be discussing how to practice acceptance as a visionary leader.Acceptance is energy conservation. When we are in a place of acceptance, spiritually, emotionally, or mentally, we are conserving our vital energy to focus it toward what really serves us and our goals. It allows us to reserve our resources for what is most important in our work, personal life, and family life.Here are some key ways to practice acceptance as a visionary leader: Ignore Out-of-Alignment Criticism: Ignore comments or suggestions that are out of alignment with your goals and values. Thank the person for their input, but do not allow it to affect your thoughts and actions. Practice Contentment: Enjoy life right where you are in this moment. It's about allowing organic growth and being happy with who you are and where your life is right now, while still having dreams and goals for the future. Befriend Your Frustrations: Use frustration as a signal to move forward and make changes. Be aware of the message behind your frustrations and use them as energy to propel you forward. Channel Your Intensity: Embrace your intensities and learn how to channel them effectively. Recognize that your intensity is a vital part of who you are and can be a powerful asset in your work and personal life. Honor Your Sensitivities: Embrace your intuitive abilities and honor your sensitivities. Recognize the power of intuition as a form of knowledge and use it to make better decisions in your professional and personal life. If you're tired of searching for someone to understand you, join our Facebook group, Someone Gets Me. Connect with others who are intense, sensitive, smart, and talented. I share my insights and teachings, and I'm here to serve. Until the next episode of Someone Gets Me, this is Dianne saying, be well. You have a vision inside to create something bigger than you. What you need is a community and a mentor. Personal mentoring will inspire you to grow, transform, and connect in new ways. The Someone Gets Me Experience could be that perfect solution to bringing your heart's desire into reality. You will grow, transform, and connect. https://msdianneallen.com/someone-gets-me-experience/ For a complimentary “Get to Know You” 30-minute call https://visionsapplied.as.me/schedule.php?appointmentType=4017868 Join our Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/someonegetsme Follow Dianne's Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/msdianneallen Email contact: dianne@visionsapplied.com Dianne's Mentoring Services: https://msdianneallen.com/ Website: https://visionsapplied.com/
