In today’s episode, I’m getting personal, diving into how I’m using AI as a daily resource for therapy, accountability, and growth. While nothing can replace the human connection we get from a therapist, AI has started filling the gap by helping me reframe thoughts, check my mindset, and hold myself accountable in those in-between moments when I need it most. Tune in to hear how I went from feeling overwhelmed to feeling empowered and how AI can help you become the best version of yourself.

Episode Highlights:

• Recognizing and Working with ADHD
  I share my journey of discovering ADHD in adulthood and the impact it had on my life and career. Therapy helped me understand it as a strength rather than a barrier, and I learned strategies to balance my goals and stay present.
• Using AI as a Therapy Tool
  After years of traditional therapy, I’ve started using AI as a supplement, even “training” my personal AI to respond like my therapist used to. It challenges my mindset, plays devil’s advocate, and helps me reframe unhelpful thoughts.
• Reframing Anxiety and Embracing Small Shifts
  I discuss how learning to calm my “fight-or-flight” responses with simple reframing and mindset shifts has helped reduce anxiety. AI tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity have become valuable resources when I need a quick mindset check or resource guide.

In this episode, we explore the power of meaningful work and how it can transform not only your career but your entire well-being. When you find meaning in what you do, you become more productive, happier, and healthier. I share some eye-opening stats, like how employees who feel their work is meaningful are 33% more productive and much more likely to stay with their organizations. I’ve personally experienced the difference meaningful work makes, and today, I encourage you to step back, reflect, and find ways to bring more meaning into the work you’re already doing. Small mindset shifts can lead to big changes in how you approach your job—and ultimately, your life.

Key Takeaways:

1. Meaningful work boosts performance: When you find purpose in your work, you’re more productive, engaged, and less likely to quit.
2. It improves well-being: Purposeful work enhances not just your career but your happiness and health, too.
3. Start small: Focus on one meaningful aspect of your job and lean into it. Even small steps can lead to big changes over time.
4. Shift your mindset: If you can’t change jobs, change your perspective. Find gratitude in what you do.
5. It impacts your whole life: Meaningful work doesn’t just make you better at your job—it improves your relationships, health, and overall fulfillment.
