  • 894: 10 ChatGPT Prompts That Saved My Sanity, Streamlined My Business, and Simplified My Life
    Jul 9 2025
    Imagine this: a copywriter who knows your voice, a strategist who doesn’t need a Zoom link, a therapist who won’t side-eye your fourth cup of coffee, and a hype girl who’s ready 24/7. That’s what ChatGPT has been for me. And I get it… maybe “AI” makes your eyes glaze over or your gut clench. But this episode? It’s different. It’s not about tech for tech’s sake. It’s about prompts that gave me peace, clarity, confidence… and yes, even a few hours of my life back! In this episode, you’ll hear how I used AI to: Finally nail a meal plan that didn’t make me hate grocery shopping. Write emails that said what I meant, without sounding like I was apologizing for existing. Build content, clarify launches, and even realign with my goals when things felt… fuzzy. So if you’re even a little curious how one tool could support this many parts of your life without taking away your humanity, you’re gonna want to click play!

  • 888: ADHD Built My Business (But It Also Broke Some Things)
    Jun 18 2025
    When I shared a carousel on Instagram titled “10 ‘Normal’ Things I Didn’t Know Were ADHD,” I had no idea it would resonate so deeply. Thousands of women flooded the comments with messages like, “I’ve never felt so seen,” and “Are you living in my brain?” and honestly, I felt the same way. That post didn’t come from research or theory; it was my lived experience. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the surprising moment I discovered I have ADHD at 35 and how it’s impacted every aspect of my life: from how I run my business to how I navigate motherhood. I share the signs I missed, the strengths ADHD gave me, the hidden challenges it created, and what I’ve experimented with to support my brain, like meds, movement, and microdosing. This is part personal story, part practical insight, and part love letter to every woman who’s ever wondered why life sometimes feels harder than it “should.” If you’ve ever thought you were just “bad at life,” this episode is for you.
