Welcome to a new year. Today we are talking about an atmosphere of praise and gratitude.    Sometimes our presence has the power to change things. The atmosphere around us is important. We should pay attention to it. What energy are you feeling? Do you notice the feeling that other people leave behind?    We can choose an atmosphere of praise and gratitude where we create new ways to offer positivity to the world. This is a cumulative phenomenon that makes our world change for the better.    The same accumulation happens when people live in fear and negativity.    Are you currently the person who lives in fear and is the complaining type? The person with negative energy making the atmosphere heavy with your complaining? Offer praise and gratitude even in the face of adversity.     If you were a flower, what kind our flower would you be? A flower with a sweet scent or one with thorns.    How are you moving into the next day, week year?    Move all the heavy doomsday thinking out of your mind and feel what it f

Are you thinking of getting started in science and research?

It's so easy to get caught up in destination addiction and focus only on the goal and looking at the finish line. The truth is that when we do that — we miss so much of our life. Who wants to watch a movie missing all the details and only getting to "the end"? The richness of life is in the journey and enjoying the process of getting there.  If you want more joy, pay attention on a deeper level by using all of your senses to do it. In this episode, I share suggestions on ramping up your joy a little bit more as you go into the new year and the new season in the story of your own life. Watch Someone Gets Me ▶️ Joy On The Journey with Dianne A. Allen. Key points covered in this episode:  ✔ Jettison the things that don't work. Scrap the old belief systems and the old stuff you're holding onto, and clear yourself of chaos from the inside out so you can be clutter-free in your thoughts. Stop holding onto guilt, resentment, fear, worry, or doubt. It's time to jettison those things and allow joy to spring up because

It takes courage and sass for a gifted woman to accept being herself walking through this often crazy world. Take it from Nicole White, who describes her childhood as a struggle to understand what she was. Moving from job to job until adulthood, she was judged for being too smart or introverted and often felt out of place. Only at age 40 could she understand the answers to "What does being Gifted mean?"  Watch Someone Gets Me ▶️ Surviving this Insane World as Gifted Women with Nicole White. Key points covered in this episode:  ✔️ You start looking for what's wrong with you and realize that's something right with you. In school or the workplace, Nicole felt misunderstood for being different. "People experience you differently. So they think that you're trying to outshine them. They think that you're trying to outdo them. And then the claws come out when they start to feel that way. So it's the sabotage, the holding back, the career, the smear campaigns, the rumor mills, all these I experienced." A lot of grief

Grief isn't just about the loss of a beloved someone or a cherished pet. I define it as a conflicting mass of human emotion following any significant change of behavior. So even if you decide to set a new goal, get a new job, move to a different state, or get to the next level of your relationships — there is grief that happens.  It's a normal human experience and emotion that helps us navigate the world. Now, sensitive people, empathic people, and people with overexcitabilities can feel it intensely, a lot of it. Understanding these myths about grief and knowing the right things to do will help yourself or your loved ones when grieving. The good thing is that we shouldn't go through it alone. There is always help available. Watch Someone Gets Me ▶️ Dealing with Grief with Dianne A. Allen. Key points covered in this episode:  ✔ Myth 1: Time heals all wounds.  It doesn't. What heals it is authentic communication, honesty, and self-awareness. Permit yourself to continue to move forward. Time alone cannot heal t

Trauma can be defined in many ways for the gifted and intensely sensitive. Counselor, coach, and psychotherapist, Dr. Eric Windhorst explains trauma as any overwhelming event we experience.  Remember, trauma is subjective. No two people have the same experience, and one may or may not be traumatized depending on their interpretation of events, their nervous system, and their intensities. Join us in this powerful new episode of Someone Gets Me  ▶️ Trauma, Gifted and Anxiety with Eric Windhorst.  Key points covered in this episode:  ✔️ Eric Windhorst defines trauma as going through something that we can't fully contain and becoming broken through that experience. "We become a little bit fragmented because it was just too much to handle. We can't make sense of it. We don't know what to do. And so part of us kind of goes away. In certain traditions, that's called soul loss. You could also talk about it as a kind of fragmentation. And the results of trauma vary from person to person." ✔️ Neurodiverse individuals w

So many people come to me and seek help as they experience different kinds and levels of distraction. Trying to reach their goal or doing what's good for themselves can be hard.  These distractions come as guilt, worry, sadness, resentment, anxiety, destination addiction, fear, greed, anger, and shame. As restricting energies, when left to persist, they can get in the way of your living, attaining your vision, and your connection to other human beings.  Watch Someone Gets Me ▶️Are You Distracted? with Dianne A. Allen. Key points covered in this episode: 

It's easy to talk about concepts about pursuing a spiritual life. We often hear it from articles, books, coaches, and shows all over the internet. What often gets people stuck is how to get out of their own way and implement the HOWs. My friend and guest, ordained minister and author Lauren McLaughlin, shares valuable lessons we need to be reminded of every day, and the truth that we each came to planet earth to have a happy, fulfilling life experience, and whenever we connect to our SELF, life doesn't have to be so hard.  Key points covered in this episode:  ✔️ Gratitude is the best tool for anyone to use for any problem on the planet. Lauren believes this is a practice anyone can do, especially for those who are too caught up in overcomplicating and overthinking. Take a step back and look at everything you have in your life. Often you find that there are so many amazing things to be grateful for.

So many people are often stressed, burned out, and angry.  WHY? Because they can't take it anymore.  Because they are too tired.  Because as a culture, we don't support rest.  It's time we become honest, come within, and honor the fact that we're human be-ings and not human do-ings. It takes guts to stand up in a society that expects us to be machines. Whether it's MORE clients, MORE books to write, or MORE projects that will entice you for something bigger or better in the future, become purposeful with rest. Be mindful of several aspects to focus on, and take that much-needed respite, always to come back and be in your best element. Join us in this powerful new episode of Someone Gets Me ▶️ It is Okay to Rest with Dianne A. Allen. Key points covered in this episode:  ✔️ Creative rest. As creators and gifted visionaries, it's essential to take breaks. Whether it's journaling, sketching, walking in nature, or just taking in the beauty, smell, or richness of wherever you are to allow creative juices to rest. I
