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?
