Small Town Entrepreneur Podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

In today’s episode, I’m getting personal, diving into how I’m using AI as a daily resource for therapy, accountability, and growth. While nothing can replace the human connection we get from a therapist, AI has started filling the gap by helping me reframe thoughts, check my mindset, and hold myself accountable in those in-between moments when I need it most. Tune in to hear how I went from feeling overwhelmed to feeling empowered and how AI can help you become the best version of yourself.

Episode Highlights:

• Recognizing and Working with ADHD
  I share my journey of discovering ADHD in adulthood and the impact it had on my life and career. Therapy helped me understand it as a strength rather than a barrier, and I learned strategies to balance my goals and stay present.
• Using AI as a Therapy Tool
  After years of traditional therapy, I’ve started using AI as a supplement, even “training” my personal AI to respond like my therapist used to. It challenges my mindset, plays devil’s advocate, and helps me reframe unhelpful thoughts.
• Reframing Anxiety and Embracing Small Shifts
  I discuss how learning to calm my “fight-or-flight” responses with simple reframing and mindset shifts has helped reduce anxiety. AI tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity have become valuable resources when I need a quick mindset check or resource guide.
