What if your resistance to AI has nothing to do with tech—and everything to do with the stories you’ve been told about it?
In this week’s episode, Anacani shares the hilarious mix-up that landed her at a military entrepreneur workshop instead of her planned Ikigai Lunch & Learn—and the powerful conversations about AI that followed. From entrepreneurs worried about losing clients, to the deeper fear of “not having time to learn,” she unpacks why this moment feels a lot like Kodak refusing to adapt to digital cameras.
You’ll discover:
- Why AI isn’t here to replace you, but to amplify you
- The real reason women resist AI (hint: it’s not the tech)
- How shiny-object syndrome keeps you spinning, and how to avoid it
- A swipe-worthy ChatGPT prompt that turns one paragraph into 3 ready-to-use posts
- Why adapting now is your edge as a heart-led entrepreneur
Anacani reminds you that AI can be warm, intuitive, and even feminine—when used with intention. This is about creating more time, more clarity, and more impact…without burning out.

Takeaways:
- The resistance to AI often stems not from the technology itself, but from preconceived narratives shaped by societal perceptions.
- Understanding AI's role as an amplifying force rather than a replacement can alleviate fears among entrepreneurs.
- Women may resist AI not due to technical limitations, but because of time constraints and perceived complexity.
- Adapting to AI technologies is essential; failing to do so may lead to obsolescence, as demonstrated by Kodak's decline.

Here’s the exact ChatGPT prompt I shared in today’s episode. Try it with any piece of content you’ve already written (an email, a caption, or even a journal entry) and watch it turn into three ready-to-post assets in under a minute:
“You are a social media and email marketing strategist who specializes in repurposing content for maximum engagement. Take the following text (provided below) and transform it into three specific formats:
- A carousel post (5–7 slides, each with a short, punchy line that encourages people to swipe).
- A reel hook (an opening line under 10 words that grabs attention and sparks curiosity).
- An email subject line (no more than 7 words, written to boost open rates).
The target audience is [insert your ideal audience—e.g., entrepreneurs, coaches, creators], who value [insert their desires/pain points—e.g., clarity, encouragement, practical strategies].
Keep the tone warm, encouraging, and aligned with my voice: [add a quick note on how you’d describe your voice—e.g., friendly mentor, witty bestie, grounded guide].
Make sure each piece feels cohesive while being tailored to the platform. Here’s the source text:”
