If the words “SEO” and “content strategy” make your brain want to shut down a little… this episode is for you.

I’m joined by Barb Davids — founder of Compass Digital Strategies and the host of Small Business Sweet Spot — to break down how AI can actually support a smart, human-first SEO strategy. We talk about visibility, trust, and how to use AI in a way that actually helps your content rank (without losing your voice or spending 12 hours on a blog post).

🎧 In this episode, we cover:

✸ Why most “AI SEO tools” promise too much and deliver surface-level junk

✸ How Barb uses ChatGPT to create interactive blog elements (like quizzes!)

✸ What Google and tools like Perplexity are really looking for in your content

✸ How to make your blog posts stand out with originality, structure, and actual value

✸ A sneak peek at Barb’s new Instant Blog Planner — a time-saving dream for anyone who struggles to plan and batch content

This one is so full of useful ideas, strategic clarity, and gentle reminders that you can do this — even if SEO has felt like a black box in the past.

If you’ve ever felt like AI wasn’t for you — maybe it felt too technical, too cold, or just not built with your life in mind — this episode is here to gently blow that belief out of the water.

In this conversation, I’m joined by AI coach and consultant Shawn Every, who shares her powerful story of reinvention after chronic illness — and how she now helps other women, especially those often left out of tech, use AI tools to support their lives, businesses, and mental health.

We talk about the emotional side of using AI, from daily mindset support to parenting conversations — and how these tools can genuinely be a lifeline for folks navigating invisible challenges.

🎧 Press play to hear:

✸ How AI tools helped Shawn rebuild her confidence and career after chronic illness

✸ Why she calls ChatGPT her “AI bestie” (and uses it as a therapist, cheerleader, and co-strategist)

✸ What people get wrong about AI as a “shortcut” — and why it’s actually an equalizer

✸ How to use AI for emotional regulation, tough conversations, and support during flare-ups

✸ Tips to help neurodivergent, disabled, or overwhelmed entrepreneurs get started with AI tools

This episode is part pep talk, part practical guide — and a beautiful reminder that AI isn’t just about productivity. It can be about healing, too.
