In this episode of Unjaded, I’m joined by dating and healthy relationships coach, Sam Morris for a grounded, real-world conversation about how AI is reshaping business, creativity, and human awareness.

Sam shares her personal take on using AI tools like ChatGPT with caution—not out of fear, but out of deep respect for presence, integrity, and the energetic frequency of her work. We talk about the ease and efficiency AI brings, but also the very real risks of relying on it to think for us, write for us, and fill space we’re not actually present for.

This is not an anti-tech rant or a productivity hack how-to. It’s an invitation to pause and ask:

What’s the cost of never touching your own words?

Where does your energy go when your content isn’t really yours anymore?

What's the end game here?

In this episode, you’ll hear us unpack:

• Why Sam avoids using AI to write sales copy—and the energetic difference it makes
• The risk of losing our critical thinking and creativity through overuse of AI
• What she notices in AI-generated content that lacks actual resonance
• How convenience can disconnect us from the work and the audience
• Why your voice is your best asset and how outsourcing it weakens your marketing
• How to hold reverence for your words, your work, and the people receiving them
• How to use AI tools to access valid research
• How to create a timely lead magnet using an ai calculator or quiz

Whether you’re experimenting with AI in your business or questioning your relationship with it, this conversation is a reminder: Just because we can doesn’t mean we should.
