​A Neuro-Divergent Spicy Bi-Girl & Matthew Walk Into A Bar

from 50 Tastes Of Gray · host Matthew Gray - 50TastesOfGray

Host Matthew Gray sits down with Dr. Diane Dye — a self-described "neurospicy," bisexual, ADHD/autism entrepreneur and doctor of education and organizational change — for a candid, wide-ranging conversation that covers identity, neurodivergence, self-care, and what it really means to be the person everyone calls when everything's on fire. Diane shares how her problem-solving, risk-management approach to relationships stems from early childhood experiences growing up in a family-run motel, and how Erikson's stages of development shaped her deep drive to "make things right" for others. She opens up about compassion fatigue, her partner Amanda's genius strategy of using Parks and Rec to force her to slow down, and why she believes true self-care doesn't require a spa day — just a sloppy joe and a good TV show. #NeurodivergentEntrepreneur #CompassionFatigue #AuthenticSelfCare CHAPTERS: 0:00 Welcome & Diane's Wild Morning 0:52 How Diane Supports Friends: Risk Management Over "There There" 2:00 Her Client Base: Men & Lesbians — And Why That Makes Sense 2:35 Bi vs. Lesbian: Why Labels Are Like Punch-Down Label Makers 4:35 Two Busy Women in Texas: Life With an Attorney Partner 6:02 Carson City, Austin, WeHo — Who Has the Best Weirdos? 9:09 People Watching?

This Impact Studios production is a collaboration with the Governor family, UTS Faculty of Law and Jumbunna Institute for Indigenous Education and Research.The Last Outlaws teamKatherine Biber - UTS Law Professor and Chief InvestigatorAunty Loretta Parsley - Great-granddaughter of Jimmy Governor and the Governor Family Historian Leroy Parsons - Governor descendant, Narrator and Co-WriterKaitlyn Sawrey - Host, Writer and Senior ProducerFrank Lopez - Writer, Managing Next Generation Energy Systems Cambridge University Background Stakeholders working with energy systems have to make complex decisions formulated from risk-based assessments about the future. The move towards more renewables in our energy systems complicates matters even further, requiring the development of an integrated power grid and continuous and steady transformation of the UK power system. Network flows must be managed reliably under uncertain demands, uncertain supply, emerging network technologies and possible failures and, further, prices in related markets can be highly volatile. Mathematicians working with engineers and economists, can make significant contributions to address such issues, by helping to develop fit-for-purpose models for next generation energy systems. These interdisciplinary approaches are looking to address a range of associated problems, including modelling, prediction, simulation, control, market and mechanism design and optimisation.
