Making Friends With Change As A Neurodivergent Professional

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.
