Have you noticed more and more AI flooding your feeds and inbox? You’re not alone and it’s exhausting.

In this episode, I unpack some of the biggest “ick” trends I’m seeing in how people are using AI in their businesses and careers. From over-automation to losing your authentic voice, we’ll explore where AI starts to work against trust, credibility, and real connection.

I also share how I personally use AI on a daily basis to support my life and business without becoming overly dependent on it. You’ll hear practical ways to leverage AI as a tool, not a crutch, so you can stay sharp, human, and intentional in how you work.

If you’re using AI, thinking about using it, or just curious about what’s happening in this space, this episode is for you.

In this episode, New Year, New Me, I share my personal commitments for the podcast in 2026, along with the goals I’m working toward this year.

I reflect on why New Year’s resolutions and goals so often fall apart, and why so many people end up in the exact same place 365 days later. I also walk through some of the highlights and challenges from my 2025, how those experiences shaped my 2026 goals, and the word I’m using to guide my focus this year.

We dive into what it actually takes to follow through on your goals, including a practical way to think about execution using a GPS-style approach to direction and decision-making. This episode is about moving beyond motivation, blocking out the noise, and committing to meaningful action.

If you’re tired of going through the motions and want to make 2026 a year you’re genuinely proud of, this episode is for you.
