What happens when the world is flooded with AI images, tools, and “perfect” feeds?

In this episode of Moments of MOOD, I sit down to talk about what it really means to stay human in your work — and why your voice, your presence, and your lived experience are the ultimate creative edge.

This isn’t a doom-scroll about AI taking our jobs. It’s an invitation. To look at what makes your art irreplaceable. To build a brand that AI can’t copy. To practice until your perspective becomes unmistakable.

If you’ve been feeling the anxiety of this “AI flood,” this episode is a reminder: your humanity is the moat. 

Keep showing up. Keep telling stories. And keep making art that only you can make.
