Where can you use AI to streamline your podcast and content creation, without losing the secret sauce that makes you and your message stand out? If you’re anything like me, you want deeper connections with clients, not just more “content.” But as AI shakes up our creative world, how can we work smarter with AI, while staying true to ourselves and keeping the heart and humanity in our business?

What is AI really costing you when you hand over your creative control? If you’re a solo or small business owner creating content to grow your business, you already know the pressure to keep up. Between SEO demands, audience expectations, and new AI tools promising shortcuts, it’s tempting to hand over control and “let the robot do it.” But will your audience feel any connection to you when they finally find your content? Or will you sound like everyone else who is letting AI create their content from start to finish? I’m joined by Emily Gertenbach, a seasoned SEO content strategist who’s been writing human-centered digital content since 2010. She’s worked with clients ranging from local agencies to internationally recognized companies, and she’s here to help us make sense of AI’s role in content creation. Emily brings receipts, nuance, and a bit of tough love as we unpack how AI can help and hurt your brand voice, your SEO, and your connection with your audience. This isn’t a doom-and-gloom episode about robots ruining your content. It’s a human-first conversation about how to use AI responsibly while keeping your creative voice at the center.

What if the real secret to getting better results with AI isn’t finding the “perfect” tool, but learning how to work with the tools you already have to create the results you want? In this episode, I’m joined by Sonya Sigler, an executive coach, attorney, and someone who’s been working with AI technology inside businesses long before AI became the shiny new toy on everyone’s mind. Sonya shares why AI isn’t a magic wand or a shortcut, and how working with it thoughtfully, through training and iteration, can actually enrich your creative process — not replace it. If you’re a solo business owner or service provider feeling overwhelmed by content demands or frustrated that now there’s “one more thing” you have to learn, this conversation will give you a refreshing and practical perspective. We talk about how to experiment with AI without losing your originality, why evolving with the tools matters more than chasing the latest updates, and how small shifts in your workflow can boost your creativity. Plus, I’ll share how this conversation pushed me to finally commit to using ChatGPT more intentionally, and how I’m building it into my own content creation process to work smarter, without losing soul or connection.

What if using AI in your business isn’t just a tech decision—but a values decision? That’s the question I’ve been wrestling with as I try to figure out how to incorporate AI into my business in a way that supports my creativity and integrity. This is the first episode in a new series in which I’m exploring how solo and small professional services providers can use AI in our processes, workflows, and content creation without losing our voice or compromising our values. I’m bringing my questions and curiosity and talking with folks who’ve been deep in it. Maggie Patterson, founder of BS Free Business and host of The Staying Solo podcast joins me for the first episode in this AI series. Maggie’s been digging into AI’s impact on solopreneurs—ethically, practically, and creatively. This conversation gets into the nuance, the costs (including some you may not have considered), and what it really looks like to experiment with AI while still showing up with creativity, honesty, and transparency. Chapters (00:00) Why I'm doing a series on AI (03:05) How Maggie describes her current relationship with AI (04:54) How big is your technology footprint?

Have you ever found yourself standing at the crossroads with your podcast? That quiet, empty intersection where the path forward isn't clear? The road stretches in three directions. One road continues the miserable soul-sucking journey of producing your podcast even though the spark is gone. Another veers toward a pivot - changing direction while keeping your momentum. And the third... well, that's the road that lets you put it all to bed and walk away. That once-brilliant bright idea for a podcast that would change the world, or at least get you more clients, has become cumbersome. The thought of sitting down to record another episode fills you with dread instead of excitement. This has been my dilemma for weeks - loitering at the crossroads of whether to pivot and move in a different direction, miserably move forward, or put this baby to bed. If you’ve ever felt like you were at a crossroads with your podcast or some other creative project, give this a listen. Do you need a podcast production partner?

Starting a podcast for your business this year? A big frustration for small business owners after they start a podcast is that they aren’t seeing “results.” The root is this frustration is caused by a lack of clarity. They didn’t take time in the planning phase to get clear on the purpose of the podcast and how they wanted to use it in their business. In this episode, I’m walking you through the process of using “The 5 Whys” to help you get clear on your podcasting “why.” This is a valuable exercise whether you’re just starting your podcast or you’ve been podcasting for a while and you're ready for a refresh. Get clarity before you do anything.

This episode reminded me why I started podcasting. It was an opportunity to spend time with two of my most favorite people in the world while sharing them with you. It’s a win for everyone! Amy Woodall and Lindsay Boccardo join me for this episode. They are both returning guests, but it has been more than a minute since we last chatted. You know those people that always make you feel better when you’ve spent time in their presence? That is how I always feel after spending time with these two! They leave me in better shape than they found me, even when I’m already having a fantastic day! I have a hunch they will do the same for you. We are constantly told by the online business “experts” that we need to niche down. Amy and Lindsay are taking a more expansive approach to their podcasts and their work, and it is working for them. They share why they started their podcasts and what keeps them coming back. Spoiler Alert: It’s not big sponsorships and massive download numbers! I intended to talk about podcasting, but as it goes with these two, our conversation goes deeper than just podcasting. We talk about alignment, mindfulness, authenticity, curiosity, playfulness, and of course, and how those things impact our podcast and how we show up. As we wrapped up the episode, I felt inspired, empowered, and reconnected to why I started podcasting. Let's tap into our alignment, embrace mindfulness, live authentically, nurture our curiosity, and sprinkle a healthy dose of playfulness into our lives. Podcasting is not just about the numbers and business strategies. It's about creating a space for connection, authenticity, and clarity. Trust your intuition, follow your heart, and let the conversations flow. Key Takeaways (01:45) The Power of Mindfulness: Amy reminds us that true growth and leveling come from working on the internal stuff, not the external. (14:22) The Power of Self-Reflection: Amy shares how the fears we project on other people are really telling us something we need to discover about ourselves (17:12) The Importance of Representation in Telling LGBTQ+ Stories: Lindsay reminds us that the story of LGBTQ+ folks doesn’t just end when they come out. It’s ongoing and it’s important to continue to hear these voices and stories. (22:58) Worthiness and Confidence: Amy talks about how our ability to learn, recognize patterns, process, and make shifts that impact our confidence and how we view our worthiness as we grow into ourselves (23:12) Finding Alignment: Lindsay stressed the importance of aligning our thoughts, actions, and values. (33:59) Playfulness Fuels Connection: Lindsay emphasized the magic of playfulness in creating engaging environments and fostering connections. Through laughter and light-heartedness, we can tackle serious subjects and make them more approachable. So, let's loosen up and have some fun.
