✨ In this episode, you will learn:

• How to plan content that positions you as the go-to in your industry

• How to batch create everything you need in three hours or less

You already know I’m deep in my AI era and today’s guest is one of the best when it comes to using ChatGPT in a way that actually feels authentic. I’m sitting down with Kinsey Soderberg, the founder of Authentic AI and the creator of the Genius Brand Blueprint, a tool that helps entrepreneurs train ChatGPT to sound like you, understand your offers, and create content that’s actually on-brand.

We’re talking about how to turn ChatGPT into your digital mini-me, how to reclaim hours of time each week (without sacrificing your voice), and why it’s time for more women to embrace AI as a tool and not something to be afraid of.

In this episode, Kinsey breaks down everything from:

• What the Genius Brand Blueprint is and how to use it to train ChatGPT
• The biggest mistakes people make when trying to use AI in their business
• How to save 15+ hours a week with AI while still sounding like YOU
• Overcoming guilt around using tools that make life easier
• How to use AI to write your emails, captions, show notes, and even fill out forms without the burnout

This episode is part workshop, part pep talk, and all the way inspiring. If you’ve been curious about how to use AI in your business in a way that feels aligned, this is your episode.

In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with Dejeune Harris, the founder of Your Style Is Forever and a personal stylist for high-achieving women and execs who want their wardrobe to match their purpose. She is super clear on who she serves and what she does, but like so many of us, she was stuck on how to actually show up online in a consistent and impactful way.

We did a full Instagram audit: refining her bio, cleaning up her highlights, tightening her pinned posts, and mapping out how she can start showing up more powerfully without doing the most.

If you’re a service-based business owner who knows you’re good at what you do, but you struggle with staying consistent online or positioning yourself clearly—this one is for you.

Inside the episode, we break down:

• How to update your bio + pinned posts to actually convert profile views into leads
• What should (and shouldn’t) be in your highlights
• Easy ways to show up behind the scenes even if your work is intimate or client-based
• How to use things like quizzes + checklists to grow your email list on autopilot

Struggling to grow your list or actually sell through email? My virtual training Email Marketing Made Easy will show you how to set up your email system, build automations, and start selling online with ease. I’ll also share the exact strategies I used to grow my list to 700+ subscribers in my first year and sell out an in-person event in just 10 days all through email.
