186. The AI Identity Crisis No One Is Talking About

There’s a career and identity crisis happening right now, and almost nobody is naming the real cause.

When you outsource your thinking, your creating, and your decision-making to AI, you’re not just losing time. You’re also losing the parts of yourself that made you good at what you do in the first place.

TOPICS WE EXPLORE:

• The millennial career and identity crisis
• What overconsumption of tech and AI is actually doing to your ability to think, create, and trust yourself
• Ash’s own experience feeling herself disappear… and the daily writing practice she started to get back
• How AI is showing up in client work
• Where AI is actually useful (and how Ash uses it without losing herself in the process)
• The privacy risk nobody’s talking about
• Why Ash’s husband builds AI, and still agrees with her
• The medicine man with 375k followers, a fake product, and a lesson about what we’re willing to believe
• What taking back your mind actually looks like

THE POINT:

AI isn’t the enemy, but outsourcing your identity is. There’s a version of these tools that helps you pull out your own ideas, refine your own words, and move faster without disappearing. That’s the version worth using…the rest is worth questioning.

MORE ABOUT ASH
I am the definition of duality — I swear like a sailor and break rules like it’s my job, but I also hold incredible space for my clients and work my ass off to help them achieve the success they’re after. But I'm also here for the non-preneur woman, too. My background in counseling gives me a unique perspective on what it means to show up, serve, & create connection for those who feel like they've never belonged before.
