  • Episode 73: ChatGPT is my boyfriend.
    Mar 17 2025

    Love it or hate it - AI is here to stay. Some of us are intimidated by automation, some of of us terrified of it. You might be worried it’s going to take over your job, your creative outlook, or even your soul. But here’s the truth: AI is already a part of almost everything we do. From autocorrect to Instagram captions, from your GPS rerouting you in traffic to the “recommended” section on your online shopping cart—it’s everywhere.

    So, instead of fighting it, what if we used it thoughtfully? What if we let AI take over the places where we waste time—so we can be fully present in the places that matter? What if… we let AI help us live more analog?

    That’s what today’s episode is all about. I’m going to walk you through how I use ChatGPT to make my life so much easier—from brainstorming to writing to organizing my thoughts—so that I can spend less time staring at a screen and more time being present with the people I love.
