Hi Reader, One person showed up. That's how Monday's relaunch of my Collective Consciousness Circle began. After all the planning, promotion, and juggling that comes with building a business, I found myself confronting something I've been consciously working on through my daily meditation practice. Expectations. Don't misunderstand me. I was genuinely grateful to the woman who joined me. But the experience made me reflect on something much deeper. Years ago, while grieving the loss of my...

🦋 You're Invited to Circle! Hi there, Fall is here, and I wanted to share a quick update on what I’ve been building these past few months — and invite you to something that begins tomorrow! This past season, I piloted Amplify You™ Workshops as part of the Amplify You™ Club, helping solopreneurs build practical AI skills they can apply to their businesses through hands-on workshops, playbooks, and group coaching. I’m also preparing to expand the free Amplify You™ Masterclass. But there’s...

Hi Reader, Have you ever taken a training you barely had time to sit through? I have dozens of those — trainings I paid for in good faith, then buried under the next urgent thing. So when I realized my ChatGPT could go into my folders and pull the actual content out of every one of them into clean files I could search anytime, it felt like I'd found a loophole in time itself. I let "my extractor" 😉 run for days. "Go extract ten more." "Pull everything on this theme, I need it for a project."...

Hi Reader, Quick note — tomorrow’s the day. I’m teaching the next AMPLIFY YOU™ workshop: Build Your Authentic Voice Scribe Skill. Your Personal Scribe can capture your real voice, expertise, point of view, and preferences. But on its own, it’s still a document you may have to upload, paste, or reintroduce when you start somewhere new. Tomorrow, we take the next step. We’ll look inside the anatomy of an AI Skill and turn that Personal Scribe into a more reusable system — with clear...

Hi Reader, I trained Claude on my own voice — years of writing, my actual tone. Last week I reread a paragraph it helped me draft, and it sounded like me. Technically. For a second I couldn't tell if that should relieve me or unsettle me. Here's the short answer, since you're busy: using AI heavily doesn't dilute your authorship. It only stops being yours the moment you stop holding the vision and the truth-check yourself. Hand off the drafting, the research, the polish — fine. Hand off the...

Hi Reader, I haven't had a Red Bull in over 25 years. Barely had it then — one can, maybe two, and it made me so anxious I never touched it again. But if I did drink it now, I imagine it would feel a lot like AI does on a good day — that little jolt where suddenly you have wings you didn't have twenty minutes ago, wings I need as a solopreneur building her signal as the authority in her own niche, alone, one AI tool at a time. Meditation gave me my soul back. AI, on its good days, gives me...

Hi Reader, This Friday I'm running my first-ever live workshop — and I built it because I kept hearing the same frustration from founders like you: "I use AI to write, but it doesn't sound like me anymore."

We build your Personal Scribe — an AI setup trained on your voice, not the internet's. You leave with a working first version you can use that same afternoon, and it gets...
