AI is here. It's coming faster than you want it to. And if you're feeling behind, overwhelmed, or like you'd rather just sit this one out — this episode is for you.

After a few months off the podcast, I'm back with a long-form conversation about AI, what our place is in it, and why women especially can't afford to stay on the sidelines.

In this episode:

• The dinner-party whisper conversation that's happening in every neighborhood right now
• Why women have been in this exact spot before — and what happens when we wait
• The Reese Witherspoon post (and stat) that stopped me in my tracks
• The reframe that changed everything for me: this isn't happening to me, it's happening for me
• How I'm using ChatGPT, Claude, and Cowork in my business right now
• What I learned when I uploaded six years of audience questions into Claude
• Why you don't need to be an expert — you just need to start
