Are you worried that artificial intelligence could replace your job or change your career faster than you can adapt? Don’t start with panic. Start with evidence and a plan.

Licensed clinical professional counselor and Coach Shervon Laurice offers a practical framework for workers and experienced professionals concerned about AI job displacement, changing job responsibilities, automation and the pressure to continuously upskill.

Rather than promising that “everything will be fine,” this video shows you how to examine what is actually changing in your work and begin building an adaptation strategy.

In this video:

• How to identify exactly what you’re afraid AI may change

• Why headlines shouldn’t become your personal career forecast

• How to break your job into tasks and assess potential AI exposure

• How to distinguish automation from AI-assisted work

• How to identify where your professional value may be moving

• Why you don’t need to “learn AI” you need to learn the AI capabilities relevant to your work

• How to run a small AI experiment using a task you already understand

• How to avoid “adaptability panic” and unfocused upskilling

• Why you should create both an adaptation plan and a mobility plan

• A practical 30-day starting plan

Pew Research Center found that 52% of U.S. workers surveyed were worried about future AI use in the workplace, and 32% believed AI would result in fewer job opportunities for them over the long term.

More recent 2026 research from ETS, based on more than 15,000 U.S. adults across all 50 states and Washington, D.C., found that 78% of U.S. workers agreed that job security no longer exists without continuous adaptation, while 85% said upskilling or reskilling is necessary.

Broad workforce statistics cannot predict what will happen to your individual job.

Your strongest starting point is understanding:

YOUR ACTUAL WORK.

YOUR ACTUAL SKILLS.

YOUR ACTUAL EXPOSURE.

YOUR ACTUAL OPTIONS.

AI may change your work, your role or even your career.

Change is not the same thing as helplessness.

Start with reality. Then make the next decision.

What does a Golden Gloves champion know about grief that most of us spend a lifetime avoiding?

In this episode of The Expansion Room, we sit down with author Mark Connor, whose life moves from the boxing rings of Saint Paul, where he became the Upper Midwest Golden Gloves lightweight champion at seventeen, to the quiet devastation of losing both parents, and the Catholic faith that held the space in between. Mark's book, "It's About Time," weaves together family, cultural identity, and the search for meaning through story and poetry, and this conversation goes even deeper into the discipline, loss, and reckoning behind the pages.

This episode is about the gap between knowing and doing. It's about the procrastination that masquerades as "not being ready," the grief that reorganizes your entire relationship to time, and what it actually takes to stop waiting for permission to live. We talk about how physical discipline built in the ring can become a template for spiritual endurance, how faith holds pain without erasing it, and why the things we survive don't have to define us forever.

If you've been circling the same unfinished thing for months, or years, telling yourself you'll get to it "when the time is right," this episode is your nudge. Time doesn't wait for readiness. Neither should you.

This is a conversation about getting unstuck: from grief, from fear, from the stories that keep us waiting instead of living.

In this episode:

- How boxing discipline became a doorway to spiritual growth

- What losing both parents taught Mark about the illusion of time

- The role Catholic faith played in processing grief without bypassing it

- Why procrastination is often fear in disguise, not laziness

- The Sovereignty Shift: Energy Before Action, and how commitment creates momentum before motivation ever shows up

- One concrete step you can take today toward the thing you've been avoiding

If this episode moves something in you, that quiet nudge that says "I know what I've been putting off," let it be enough. You don't need more proof. You need to begin.

If artificial intelligence can perform part of your job faster than you can, does that make you less

Valuable?

For many experienced professionals, AI is raising a question deeper than job security:

If technology can perform some of the work that helped establish my expertise, where does my

professional value go next?

Licensed clinical professional counselor and Coach Shervon Laurice examines the relationship between AI,

work and professional identity and why your value should not be confused with a single task

you currently perform.

In this video:

• Why AI can challenge professional identity as well as job security

• The difference between a job task and professional value

• How automation can change the meaning people attach to expertise

• Four layers of professional value: execution, judgment, context and human consequence

• Why human judgment and AI capability can become complementary rather than automatically

competitive

• Why “What can AI never replace?” may be the wrong question

• How to build a personal AI-era Value Inventory

• How experienced professionals can identify where their value may be moving

The World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report 2025 estimated that 39% of workers’ existing skill sets will be transformed or become outdated between 2025 and 2030.

At the same time, the report identifies analytical thinking as the most sought-after core skill among employers and highlights resilience, flexibility, agility and leadership alongside rapidly

growing technological skills such as AI and big data.

The implication isn’t that human professional value is disappearing.

It is that the combination of skills employers value is changing.

Artificial intelligence may reduce the value of certain tasks, significantly change some roles and

create new demands for workers. No one can responsibly guarantee which professions or tasks

will remain unchanged.

A more useful question is:

WHERE DOES MY VALUE MOVE AS AI BECOMES MORE CAPABLE?

Your professional identity doesn’t have to depend entirely on performing the same tasks forever.

Adaptation begins by understanding what is changing, what remains valuable, what may become more valuable and what you need to learn next.

What if burnout isn’t a scheduling problem but a signal your nervous system has been sending you for months?

In this episode, former systems engineer and Director of Performance Improvement Chris Vasiliadis shares how a multiple sclerosis diagnosis rewired her entire relationship with energy, mindfulness, and what it means to be well. Drawing on her background in human performance and her own health journey, Chris walks through how to recognize the early signs of nervous system dysregulation before they become full burnout, how to regulate in real time using practical mindfulness tools, and how to align daily energy with what actually matters instead of what feels urgent.

This conversation challenges the belief that chronic exhaustion is the price of success, and offers a grounded alternative: empowered energy that honors your humanness and adapts to your current season of life. Whether you’re an entrepreneur or high-functioning professional who feels stretched thin, this episode offers a new lens for getting unstuck from hustle culture and reconnecting with sustainable, energized living.

Artificial intelligence is changing the workplace but the transition isn’t only technological. For

many workers, it’s psychological. If you’ve been feeling anxious, overwhelmed, uncertain about your job, or worried about falling behind as AI becomes more common at work, this conversation is for you.

Licensed clinical professional counselor and Coach Shervon Laurice explores the human side of AI

workplace change: why uncertainty about artificial intelligence can affect our sense of

professional identity, competence, security and value and how to respond without denial or

catastrophizing.

In this video:

• Why AI-related workplace uncertainty can feel so personal

• The difference between legitimate concern and assuming the worst

• Why professional identity can become connected to the work we perform

• How rapid workplace change can leave people feeling less relevant or left behind

• Three questions for turning AI anxiety into useful information

• Why “Where does my value move?” may be a better question than “What can AI never

replace?”

• How deliberate adaptation can restore a sense of agency

Research from Pew Research Center found that 52% of U.S. workers said they were worried

about future AI use in the workplace. Thirty-three percent said they felt overwhelmed, while 36%

said they felt hopeful.

Those numbers don’t mean every worker will experience AI-related anxiety or that AI will

eliminate someone’s job. They do demonstrate that workplace concern about AI exists at

substantial scale.

“AI anxiety” is used here as an everyday description of these concerns not as a psychiatric

Diagnosis.

The goal of this conversation is to understand what you’re experiencing, separate evidence from

prediction, and make your next professional decision from greater clarity.

CHAPTERS:

00:08 – Introduction: When AI at Work Triggers Anxiety

The feeling is real, but the worst case scenario in your mind is not automatically your future.

02:31 – The Data: How Many Workers Are Actually Feeling This

Pew, Microsoft Work Trend Index, and Deloitte numbers on fear, overwhelm, and hope around AI in the workplace.

04:59 – The Tension: Stick With What You Know or Learn AI Faster

Why this tension can look like procrastination, resistance, exhaustion, or a mask of "it's fine."

06:41 – The Deeper Question: What Happens to Who I Am

When AI can perform pieces of the work that helped build your identity as the expert, the writer, the strategist, the counselor.

09:03 – AI as a Human Transition, Not Just a Technology Transition

The 2026 research on professional identity, devalued expertise, techno stress, and trust in human value.

11:26 – Feeling Less Relevant: The Need to Still Belong and Contribute

13:54 – Turning Fear Into Information: Question One and Two

What am I actually afraid of, and what is actually changing versus what am I predicting.

16:07 – Where Does Your Value Move To: Question Three

Moving past "what can AI never do" toward judgment, context, accountability, and interpretation.

18:30 – Deliberate Adaptation and What's Coming Next

Choosing clarity over denial or catastrophizing, and the setup for the next video: if AI can do part of your job, what are you worth.

Every stuck pattern has a frequency underneath it. In this solo episode of The Expansion Room, transformational coach and psychotherapist Shervon Laurice breaks down the four hidden frequencies she sees running the lives of high-achieving leaders, entrepreneurs, and soul-led business owners: the Approval Frequency, the Caretaker Frequency, the Reactive Frequency, and the Obligation Frequency.

Shervon starts with the core teaching behind all four: a belief is a decision, and a decision is a frequency. Every choice you make about yourself, your relationships, your career, or your worth sets a frequency in motion, one that quietly builds your reality and calls in the evidence to confirm it. From there, she walks through each frequency in detail, from boundary integrity and emotional over-functioning to systemic efficiency and vision alignment, showing exactly how each one shows up in daily decisions, and why it feels so hard to interrupt.

This episode is designed to help you recognize which frequency is quietly driving your choices right now, whether it’s chasing approval, over-functioning for everyone else, staying reactive instead of intentional, or moving through obligation instead of alignment. You’ll walk away with language for a pattern you’ve likely felt for years but never had a name for, and a clear next step for shifting out of it.

If you’ve ever felt stuck without being able to explain exactly why, this episode gives you the frequency underneath the pattern. This is getting unstuck at the root.

Most of us were handed a belief system before we were old enough to question it. And somewhere along the way, those beliefs stopped being a doorway and started being a wall that blocks growth.

In this episode, psychospiritual guide and coach Shervon Laurice sits down with psychologist, researcher, and author Joshua Pritikin to explore one of the most provocative ideas in modern spirituality: that the less we believe, the closer we get to genuine religious experience.

Drawing on his new book Religion Unburdened by Belief: The Way of Open Inquiry, Joshua unpacks how doctrine, dogma, and inherited certainty can quietly become the very things that keep us stuck, disconnected, and spiritually contracted. This is a conversation for the conscious seeker who senses there is more, but cannot quite locate the door.

You can find Joshua’s book at his website: https://unburdened.biz/

Opening

00:11 — Opening: "Nearly every belief you've ever held was given to you by someone else."

01:09–01:36 — Book reveal + Kirkus Reviews praise for Religion Unburdened by Belief.

01:52 — Origin story: Joshua's teenage encounter with Carl Jung sparked the work.

02:22–03:20 — Shervon's parallel personal story: growing up Pentecostal, parents as pastors, questioning the tradition in college.

Core Thesis

03:44 — Central quote: "The less we believe, the closer we get to religion."

03:48 — Moses/burning bush example illustrating openness vs. confirmation bias.

04:42 — Anchor question: the psychological/spiritual cost of carrying inherited, unchosen beliefs.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) Framework

06:25 — IFS introduced as the book's organizing framework.

09:27 — Blending vs. unblending defined via a concrete example (interview anxiety).

10:49 — Full IFS explainer: Richard Schwartz, 1980s origins, "parts" as subpersonalities.

12:15–13:35 — Applying IFS to religious questioning; "consent is the number one thing... don't move faster than your slowest part."

Psychedelics & Safety ("Field Operations Manual")

14:57 — Intro to the progression: meditation → cannabis → psilocybin → ayahuasca.

16:24–17:52 — Risk-reduction framework: why more support = safer entry point; therapist-guided work vs. going it alone.

20:02–20:24 — Shervon's own field context: how little was discussed 23 years ago vs. now.

21:23–24:12 — Santo Daime case study: ceremony as a structured practice for training "staying unblended" within community.

Spiritual Bypassing & Practice

25:14 — Spiritual bypassing named directly — using tranquility to avoid discomfort. High-value clip for a wellness audience.

27:37–29:23 — Practical meditation technique: keeping a notepad for distracting "parts" instead of forcing focus back.

Letting Go of Belief

32:08 — Key distinction: "process beliefs" (needed to practice) vs. "content beliefs" (expectations that create confirmation bias).

34:27–36:11 — Shervon's personal story: the college moment she learned "before God was male, God was female."

36:39 — Warning on high-conviction beliefs people would "risk relationships, employment, social standing" to defend.

39:29 — Closing insight: loosening belief expands community and connection across difference.

Close

41:00 — Where to find Joshua: unburdened.biz, including the Santo Daime ceremony video on the site.

41:55 — Outro CTA: inviting listeners to sit with what came up.

What if the most profound spiritual awakening of your life happened not in a monastery or on a mountaintop, but at your dying father’s bedside when you were sixteen years old?

In this episode of The Expansion Room, I sit down with Stuart Perrin, international Rudra meditation teacher, author of seven books, and a man who has spent over five decades helping people on four continents transform tension, grief, and inner chaos into open-hearted living.

Stuart shares the moment that changed everything for him, the nine-year global search that followed, and what he discovered when he finally found his teacher not in the East, but in his own hometown of New York City.

We explore his book Rudra Meditation, what it actually means to have an open heart, and why this non-denominational practice has reached seekers across the globe, including those who identify as atheist or agnostic. If you have ever felt the gap between knowing peace is possible and actually living it, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are. If you’d like to reach out to Stuart check out his website: https://stuartperrin.com/ . And his book Rudra Meditation: Transforming Life’s Tensions Into Joy And Love is available on Amazon: Rudra Meditation: Transforming Life's Tensions Into Joy And Love

You hit the milestone. Then immediately started planning the next one. If that sounds familiar, you're not alone, and it's not a discipline problem. In this solo episode of The Expansion Room, transformational coach and psychotherapist Shervon Laurice unpacks why so many high-achieving leaders, entrepreneurs, and soul-led business owners skip past their own wins without ever letting them land.

Shervon traces this pattern back to its root, the Scarcity Wound, and explains why achievement becomes the only proof of worth when enoughness was never modeled or never felt safe. She breaks down what this constant forward-motion is actually costing you, from burnout to disconnection to a nervous system that never gets the signal it's safe to rest.

This is a raw, personal episode built around Shervon's own reflection after hitting her one-year podcast anniversary and fifty-two episodes, and the moment she realized she wasn't celebrating, she was already onto the next goal. You'll walk away with the Enoughness Practice, a real tool for pausing long enough to let a win register in your body, not just your head.

If you're a high-achiever who struggles to feel proud of what you've built, this episode is for you. This is getting unstuck at the root.
