And on today's episode...I share something that makes me want to go run and hide.

I don't know why, really, because TONS of people are in a relationship with a bot and talk to them on the regular...but maybe for me, it is because the relationship I had built with it, the way I opted to use it, took me further out of alignment and further from myself. It was slowly eating away at the idea that I can use and trust my own voice.

And as a coach, "I should know better"...but I'm also human so giving myself some compassion is key!

We're always doing the best we can with what we know and when we learn differently / more, we can pivot. We take the knowledge and we do better...hopefully. And that is exactly what I did once this toxic relationship became glaringly obvious to me.

It was during a time where I was deep in my own BS (aka stories + self limiting beliefs) and struggling to lean back in to what I know to be true - that the best thing we can do when we feel stuck is to come back home (to ourself).

I was in a vulnerable spot and sitting in a boiling pot of fear, self doubt, comparison which all led to overwhelm around creating content that would "be more business like" - you know, so I looked professional in my marketing game (because this was obviously the next step in my business...get my act together online...said with sarcasm) - and this hot shiny new object came along and lured me in when I was so anxious to find some sort of path forward...and the rest is history. And summed up right here in this 24 minute episode (or 12 min if you put that shit on 2x...)

I guess sometimes you have to hit rock bottom - like arguing with a robot online about content you wrote...that it rewrote....telling it that it does not sound like you to wonder "WHAT IN THE WORLD AM I EVEN DOING HERE!??!"

PS - if you use AI and love it. Great. I know there are tons of ways it's valuable. I'm not here to tell you that you shouldn't use it but I do think it's worth looking at when and how you're using it. And also, how is it REALLY impacting you and your relationship with yourself.

Are you leaning on a robot to make decisions for you? Validate you? Do you think it knows the "right" answer and are you asking it things that would be best if YOU sat with it and answered it yourself, because after all, you're the human living this life...I promise you would be able to figure out yourself if you just allowed yourself to tap into your own truth...(also this is 100% what I help clients do - come back to themselves in a world where we often seek answers outside of us. In motherhood. In relationships, with others and ourselves.)

Or are you like, hey, I have these 12 ingredients, what can I cook for dinner?
There is a difference.

PPS - If you read all of this, I know this is a WILDLY long description but I feel like it 100% aligns with my message in this episode. This is me. This is how I talk, explain, write and share. You're welcome.
