Ever feel yourself outsourcing your power to the next course, coach or hack? Same. 

In this conversation with certified coach Carly Clark Zimmer, we dig into how to rebuild self-trust so you can make clear, grounded business decisions without the constant second-guessing. We unpack why overthinking drains you more than doing, how parts work (IFS) creates internal harmony, and the simple (not easy) practice that unlocks clarity: spaciousness.

You’ll hear real talk on comparison traps, sunk-cost stubbornness, and how to know when to keep going vs. pivot. 

Plus, Carly’s free tool—the Five-Minute Laser Coach—to spark a quick breakthrough.

• Why entrepreneurs outsource self-trust—and how to take it back
• The difference between thinking about doing vs. doing (and why thinking is often more exhausting)
• Parts work/IFS in plain English: letting every “instrument” in your inner orchestra be heard
• A simple decision filter: priorities, capacity, context
• When to stick with a strategy vs. press pause on what isn’t converting
• Practicing intuitive decision-making (yes, even on “what’s for dinner”)

>>MEET CARLY<<

You know when you're stuck in a loop of overthinking and second-guessing every business move? Yeah, Carly Clark Zimmer is the person who helps you get out of that. She's a certified coach, trained in Internal Family Systems, and has this magical way of blending nervous system work with business strategy. Carly helps heart-centered entrepreneurs ditch the outdated hustle programming and tap into real, embodied self-trust — the kind that lets you make aligned decisions even when the path isn’t crystal clear.

Let’s talk about monetization with AI—without the overwhelm, the jargon, or pretending you’re suddenly a coder.

In this episode we break down three clear paths to monetizing with AI that don’t require you to build a tool, start a tech company, or even understand how ChatGPT works behind the curtain.

You’ll discover how to:

• Save hours (and reclaim your evenings) by using AI to streamline the behind-the-scenes work
• Enhance your client delivery so every touchpoint feels high-touch—without adding more calls to your calendar
• Productize your expertise into AI-powered experiences that sell while you sleep

You’ll hear real-world examples, including how I turned my proprietary frameworks into tools like Brenda (the BrandCalibrator™) and Valerie (the Visibility Auditor)—and how these tools create scalable, on-brand experiences that feel personal and profitable.

Plus, I’ll walk you through the #1 mistake most creators make when building GPTs and how to protect your intellectual property before you put your methods into AI.

This episode will spark ideas for how you can work less, earn more, and serve better using AI in your business—no tech degree required.

We’ll Unpack:

• The 3 monetization paths with AI: Operational Efficiency, Enhanced Client Delivery, Productization
• How to measure ROI from time saved (and why that’s just as powerful as new income)
• A behind-the-scenes look at Kelly’s “onboarding assistant” GPT that cut her process from 20 hours to 2
• Why productizing your knowledge through AI tools can expand reach and protect your IP
• The mindset shift from “AI is replacing us” to “AI helps us human better”

__________________________________________________________________________________

This week I’m thrilled to introduce you to Andrew Bartle, longtime entrepreneur and software developer who’s been exploring how artificial intelligence can empower creators — without compromising ethics or security. He’s passionate about transparency, responsible AI, and helping people understand the technology shaping the next era of business.

And more importantly, he and I have been building a new AI platform that we’re so excited to share with you!!!

You’ve heard me share how much I use AI tools like ChatGPT in my business — from writing show notes to managing workflows — but I’ve also been feeling the tension between innovation and integrity. As creators, so much of what we share online comes from our own intellectual property: our ideas, frameworks, and hard-won experience. And yet, we rarely stop to ask: where does all that information actually go?

In this conversation, Andrew and I dig into the real-world risks and responsibilities of using generative AI as creators. We talk about what happens behind the curtain of tools like ChatGPT, what “AI governance” even means, and why protecting your IP and your audience’s data has to be part of the creative process.

It’s not about fear, it’s about awareness. AI can be an incredible support system when we understand how to use it wisely, with clear boundaries and ownership in place.

• Why creators need to think critically about data privacy and ownership
• The hidden risks of uploading your work to open AI platforms
• What “responsible AI” looks like in everyday business use
• Simple ways to check if a tool aligns with your values and data standards
• How to stay creative and innovative without giving away your IP

Have you ever felt like you’re doing all the marketing things—and still not being seen? In this special replay, I’m flipping the mic and joining Lori Young on The OfferMojo Show to talk about visibility the sustainable way: relationship-led, energy-aligned, and supported by AI.

We dig into why social media is not your only path (or even your best lead source), the difference between performative vs. strategic visibility, and the 10-minute-a-day habit that compounds into speaking invites, partnerships, and clients—without burning you out. I also share how I’m using AI (including custom GPTs) to repurpose smarter, pitch faster, and keep momentum when life gets lifey.

• Why visibility ≠ “be everywhere” (and what to do instead)
• Social media as nurture, not lead gen—and what to use for leads
• Strategic vs. performative visibility (and how to spot the difference)
• The 10-minute visibility habit that compounds over 60–90 days
• Relationship-led growth: collaborations, podcasts, speaking
• Practical ways I use AI to save time and stay in my voice
• Permission to rest: energetic alignment beats algorithm anxiety

You already know AI can save you time—but what if that’s not the real win?

Let’s dive into a belief shift that’s completely changed how I think about AI—because it’s not just about doing things faster. It’s about showing up better.

I’ll share how I turned a 20-hour task into a 2-hour one using AI. Not so I could do less, but so I could have deeper, more meaningful conversations with my clients. Because when you stop treating AI like a shortcut and start using it as a value multiplier, everything changes.

This episode will help you see how AI can actually make your business more human, not less.

You’ll learn:

• Why faster doesn’t mean less valuable
• How to use AI to elevate your work, not replace it
• The combo effect of human insight + AI support
• How to spot where AI can give you more time for what matters

If you’ve been curious (or even a little skeptical) about how to use AI without losing your authenticity, this one’s going to open up a whole new way of thinking about it.

You’ve seen the promises: “300 posts in a day” or “an entire month of content in 30 minutes.” And yes, AI makes it possible—but here’s the problem: more content doesn’t equal more visibility.

What actually matters is resonance. If your message isn’t landing, no amount of posting will fix it.

In this rant-style episode, I’m sharing why visibility without calibration is just noise, and how to use AI the right way—so it sounds like you and helps you build momentum instead of burnout.

Here’s what I cover:

• Why “more” isn’t the answer to your visibility struggles
• The biggest lie the online space keeps feeding entrepreneurs
• How AI is a mirror, not a magic wand
• What calibration really means (and why it changes everything)
• My own story of feeling like an imposter at a tech event—and the clarity that shifted everything

What started out lighthearted turned into one of the most empowering conversations I’ve had on Entrepreneur School.

Kinsey Soderberg is the founder of Authentic AI and co-host of the upcoming Her AI Era Summit, a women-led event showcasing how entrepreneurs can harness AI to expand their impact. And she said something that gave me full body chills:

“Women feel guilty using AI.”

This conversation cracked open why so many of us hesitate to use AI, the risks if women don’t step into this space, and how embracing it can completely change our capacity, creativity, and even the future of equality in business.

Ease is not cheating. It’s power. And every woman needs to hear this.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why women hesitate to use AI more than men—and what it’s costing us
• How AI can expand, not replace, your creativity and critical thinking
• Kinsey’s “human-first” approach to using AI tools authentically
• How embracing AI can help close the gender gap in business productivity and income
• The movement behind the Her AI Era Summit and why it matters now more than ever

>>MEET KINSEY<<

 Kinsey is the founder of Authentic AI, where she teaches entrepreneurs how to use AI in ways that align with their values, creativity, and voice. She’s also the co-host of the Her AI Era Summit, a women-led event with 60+ speakers sharing practical, empowering ways to integrate AI into business.

This conversation hit deep.

I invited Annie Gichuru onto Entrepreneur School because her AI Bias Guide stopped me in my tracks. Annie is a leading Racial Equity Coach & Consultant, and she’s one of the contributors inside my Ease & Alignment with AI Bundle.

We went way beyond “AI tips.” Annie opened my eyes to the invisible gaps in our businesses when we believe kindness equals inclusion—and why AI is never neutral. From filters that don’t recognize darker skin to community platforms that flag “foreign” names as spam, bias shows up in ways you may not even see.

This episode is an invitation to pause, to reflect, and to build more intentionally inclusive brands—because as Annie says, the goal isn’t perfection, it’s reducing harm.

We unpack:

• Why “AI isn’t neutral”—and how data, algorithms and human inputs all carry bias
• The difference between not intentionally excluding and intentionally including
• Real examples of tech bias that impact people every day
• How to prompt AI through your values, not just your voice
• A simple self-audit that reveals who you’re serving—and who you might be leaving out
• Why reducing harm (not aiming for perfect) is the most powerful commitment you can make

Meet Annie Gichuru

Annie Gichuru is a leading Racial Equity Coach & Consultant for online entrepreneurs. She has helped many prominent online business leaders build intentionally inclusive businesses – the most notable of which is her partnership with The Beautiful You Coaching Academy, where she supports trainees and emerging coaches as a DEI Trainer.

She is deeply passionate about representation through a racial justice lens and combines her experience as an internationally certified life coach, her love of storytelling, and her extensive career as a Human Resource specialist to deliver REPRESENTED—a transformational online program described as “a must for all business owners who are ready to build a racially diverse, inclusive and equitable business.”

Annie’s grace, gentle spirit, and passion for a racially equitable world is setting her apart in the coaching and personal development industry as a compassionate educator with an incredible space-holding ability.

This one’s for every woman who’s ever felt guilty for wanting things to feel easy.

For so long, I believed business had to be hard. That if I wasn’t sacrificing time, energy and sleep, I wasn’t doing it “right.” But I’ve been on a personal mission to let go of that belief.

And here’s the truth I’ve found: ease is allowed.

When I used to create visibility strategies for clients at a PR firm, it took me about twenty hours to build out one plan. That was thousands of dollars’ worth of work. Now? With the support of AI, I can create those same plans faster, make them deeper and more useful for my clients, and actually spend more of our time together on the nuanced, human conversations that matter.

That’s why I created the Ease & Alignment with AI Bundle—a collection of more than 30 free resources, available September 12–October 12, designed to help you:

• Cut down the time it takes to plan and make decisions
• Build systems that stop you from wasting energy on repeat tasks
• Create content and marketing that flows more easily
• Strengthen your boundaries so you don’t burn out

This isn’t about churning out more. I’m not interested in “do more, post more, hustle more.” What I care about is giving you back your time so you can actually live your life—whether that means taking a nap, going for a bike ride, or celebrating your birthday without your business falling apart.

In this episode, we’ll unpack:

• Why women feel guilty when things feel “too easy”
• The real reason AI isn’t about doing more—it’s about reclaiming time
• How AI tools support planning, systems, content, AND boundaries
• The importance of experimenting with AI now as a core business skill
• What’s inside the Ease & Alignment with AI Bundle (and how to grab it free from Sept 12–Oct 12)

If you’ve been waiting for permission to let things be easy, this is it.

So… becoming an AI strategist wasn’t exactly on my 2025 bingo card.

But here we are.

In this episode, I’m sharing how I went from corporate PR girl to building over 30 custom GPTs, creating a full-on podcast bot squad (including the one that wrote these show notes in minutes) and developing a whole new arm of my business centered around human-first and on-brand AI.

This isn’t about cranking out 100 blog posts a week.

It’s about using AI to create more ease, alignment, and space in your business—without losing your voice, your values, or your sanity.

I’ll walk you through:

• How I went from “not even an early adopter” to fully obsessed with AI
• The tools I’ve built (and how they save me hours each week)
• Why I believe AI works best when it’s built around humans—not to replace them

If you’re even a little bit AI-curious, this episode will give you a grounded, non-techy look at what’s possible—and why you don’t need to be “techie” to start.
