🦋 💜 🌿 How is your week going?

​

I'm now about 37 weeks pregnant. I'm doing pretty well considering just how pregnant that really is.

​

The week of Thanksgiving was a doozy:

​

the website for my second business was updated (good) which caused some massive problems as a ripple effect (bad).

It's been a really big hassle, with a lot of fixing problems for customers, and stress for me.

​

Since then my little teacup of total energy and total effs I can give about anything has been sincerely drained,

​

so a lot of things that were on my wishlist of things to do before the baby comes probably can't happen now, unforrtunately. Grr

​

I'm half on maternity leave already, and I'm trying to only doing what I feel like doing because I don't want to push myself too hard.

​

FYI: I may suddenly disappear for weeks or months at a time from here on out, only to reappear when the passion to share something with you strikes.

​

This isn't the "perfect" or ideal way to seque into a maternity leave as a writer and business owner, but at this point, we are throwing all that out of the window and just embracing the lovely concept of ENOUGH.

​

So speaking of things that inspire me, let's dig into the real reason I emailed today :D

...

What I want to tell you

​

​Recently an entrepreneur named Liz Goddard has opened the doors into a free behind the scenes look into her business by reflecting on the past year 2025 and the things that worked and didn't work. (Here is a link)​

​

It's a real and raw look behind the scenes from a seasoned entrepreneur who has done really well for herself and generally does things in a very unique way.

​

She's vocally wacky, quirky, unique and strongly guided in her business by the voice of intuition that visits her in the shower. And it's generally been going very well for her, she's made 7 figures that way (without doing anything shady).

​

But in reflecting on this year, she describes a dark season when she found herself tossing out all of her previously successful courses and work to flail around with no idea how to make money anymore in today's economy and landscape.

​

I'm not done listening to her full reflection, but I've just heard the part mid-year where she realizes that

her overreliance on ai and chat-gpt (to generate ideas, write marketing copy and choose business strategies) is what ultimately led her astray and into the darkness.

​

It contributed to a feeling of burnout and being lost as to what to do, a feeling that nothing was working anymore, and people weren't buying what she had been selling for years...

​

In listening so much to chatgpt feedback, she had lost that strong connection to her own brilliance and intuition that had so guided her before.

​

She's not totally anti-ai at this point, but she definitely recognized a need for boundaries and a return back to human written copywriting and marketing, plus relying once more on her own brain and heart to guide her business, and all the writing she does for it.

​

I find this super interesting because AI generated writing and using AI to guide decision making is becoming more and more common.

​

I've poked my toe into the pool enough to recognize how tempting it may be to give your power over to a machine that claims to make everything easy, an expert in just about anything that can help you do your work so much faster.

​

Reflecting now at the end of the year, I can't say that using ai had many positive results for my business and maybe its advice is pretty much BS...thankfully my experiments have been fairly limited.

​

While it can be good for some things like doing a bunch of math or summarizing a long passage into a paragraph,

​

I think as time goes on, people are learning more and more that while creators of ai tools claim they are effective at doing tasks better than a person, in reality they often simply do not...

​

And I can't help feel a little smug that as a human being, I have skills that many people think they can replace with a robot, but that ultimately I think humans do better.

​

They will always have value, and I am passionate about coaching others and teaching these things to other people.

​

Things like: making brilliant connections, writing from the heart, copywriting.

Working with your own unique personality, intuition, and ideas in order to drive your business or writing dreams forward.

Human connection and holding space for emotions.

Stuff like that.

​

The problem is that it is super easy to open a chatGPT website and respond to it in conversation,

while the things that I know work best have a bit of a learning curve, or require you to initiate the process yourself.

​

Even if the tools I would recommend to write more brilliantly and easily are rather simple,

you still have to go through the process without a robot telling you what to do and learn what to do so you can do it on your own.

​

Still, I love to help people do this... More on this in a minute.

​

Anyway, Liz Goddard's reflection has been an additional datapoint adding to my skepticism of ChatGPT's ability to be a copywriting, business or marketing advisor

​

​--and a second datapoint I want everyone to know about is a certain youtube video, "ChatGPT made me delusional."​

​

The point of this video was to explore how far ChatGPT would go to support an individual's delusion, i.e. what it would tell you to do if you made outrageous claims.

​

In the video, the creator suggests to the AI that perhaps he was an extremely smart baby at birth. Could it be possible to reconnect to that infant intelligence to prove his intellectual superiority as the smartest baby born that year? This is clearly a ridiculous idea...

​

Yet, he is supported by ChatGPT in this delusion

​

and ends up getting advice from the AI to do things like eat babyfood, buy hats, cover everything in tinfoil, and fully isolate himself from all known friends or family in a paranoid attempt to protect his "experiments" from people who don't want him to proove he's the smartest baby.

​

These are crazy things to tell someone to do.

​

So........given that, can you really trust what ChatGPT tells you in general? Should it be given authority to offer you advice on something as important as your writing or your business?

​

I know everyone is busy and stressed these days so the temptation to outsource everything to a cheap AI assistant is appealing,

​

but the old saying, "If sounds too good to be true, it probably is," does exist for a reason.

​

...

Digging into Liz Goddard's reflections on her year, and hearing how a successful, unique, and confident entrepreneur found herself going down an AI spiral and totally disconnecting with her sense of direction

​

​is what lit a fire under me to put many of my classes on a flashsale this week. ​

​

More on this below....

​

Like I said, I think that one of the major pulls of ChatGPT and AI is that it guides you through a process that seems easy and promises to help you make faster progress writing and achieving your goals.

​

I believe that the things that really work aren't as "in your face," but they do exist, and

​

they aren't necessarily that much harder than sorting through a bunch of AI slop, you just need to know what to do.

​

That's where I can come in to help.

​

There are other methods out there to be brilliant, to make progress on your book or business, and not in a delusional way.

​

​In my recent (free) Youtube video on how I cure brainrot, I list some of the EFFECTIVE tools people can use to think more brilliantly and thus enrich you careers as writer, thinker or entrepreneur. ​

​

Some of these things take a bit more effort, and time, and thus patience. We are all short on patience these days.

​

But the results are worth it.

​
Plus putting ideas together the old fashioned way, taking a little quiet to settle down, listen to yourself, tune out the noise and connect to something enriching and fulfilling

​

can offer huge benefits like grounding you so that your next step and what is right for you is obvious, and you can advance your goals confidently without being led astray.

​

No more feeling lost and disconnected from your own genius.

​

I think that this is especially important for some people, I guess you can call us "neurodiverse." That's how I am: There are certain ways that we function well and certain ways that we don't function well at all.

​

Whether or not something may work for someone else isn't always an indication that it will work for me.

​

I'm a unique individual, and I've realized that the best way for me to feel successful is to work WITH my brain and my unique traits rather than follow anyone else blindly.

​

When I go off track and become disconnected from what works for me, I become like Liz was earlier this year, lost, rudderless and totally freaked out in a spiral.

​

That means I have to LISTEN TO MYSELF

​

and maintain a very close connection to meeting myself where I am.

​

It's not about being perfect.

​

Even if I have a few short term stumbles trying to do things my way, I'll learn from it and long term I will make it out of the woods to where I want to be, as I learn clues about how I work best.

​

I think Liz Goddard is the kind of person who also needs to be true to herself in order to function well. A huge insight this year was to recognize she needed to follow her own genius and inspiration rather than try to outsource it out to chatgpt, as doing it her way was always the key to her success in the past.

​

By the way, all of this ties into the power of reflecting on the past and what has worked or not worked for you already, because it is so easy for us to forget or lose track of what we have always known.

​

(My classes include exercises to do this a lot!! I could write a whole essay just about this, but let me try to stay on track.)

​

Writing things down in a journal or some sort of note is so helpful, as is the process of rereading it periodically.

​

In Sum:

If you're at a loss how to get started hearing yourself and making that a part of your writing or work routine, I can help even though I'm headed off on maternity leave:

​

​Don't forget my Youtube channel is filled with different free resources, like cowork videos to make progess on your writing or business with me guiding you.​

​

And let me tell you about one more resource...

...
