Let AI lighten the load (without losing your voice)


Hey Reader,

You sit down to write a post, staring at the blinking cursor, and think, “If I have to make one more piece of content today, I might just… (insert expletive) not.”

Marketing can feel like a full-time job on top of building your actual business. And the longer you procrastinate, the more guilty you feel about not showing up online. Anyone else? Ohhhh, just me, right.

When new entrepreneurs come to me, to launch their first business I would say most everyone's biggest struggle?

Marketing.

I frequently hear: “I spend hours trying to write a single post.” or “By the time I finally hit ‘publish,’ I’m so drained that I don’t even have the energy to engage with people." or "It feels like I’m shouting into the void.”

So many of us don't want to outsource our content yet–we want our audience to hear our voice. But marketing can eat up precious time we need to actually serve our clients and customers.

The Messy → Magical Shift

Instead of white-knuckling our way through content creation, lets chat about how we could use AI, not as a replacement for our voice, but as a brainstorming partner, research sleuth, and rough-draft helper.

When we stop treating AI as “cheating” and start using it as a collaborator, marketing has the potential to shift from a dreaded chore to a manageable, even creative, process.

✨ 3 Sleuthy AI Marketing Shortcuts To Try

Here are three ways to start using AI as a brainstorming partner:

1. Detective-Level Audience Research

If you want to write posts that speak directly to your ideal client’s pain points, but don’t want to spend hours lurking in Facebook groups.

Prompt Example:

“Act as a market research analyst. My ideal client is a corporate professional (30s-40s) who feels burned out and is considering starting a coaching or consulting business. List their top 10 struggles in their own words, using a conversational tone. Include the emotions behind each struggle.”

Result: You get a goldmine of emotional, relatable phrases you can weave into your posts–no more guessing. Speak to what people's pain points and how you can help.

2. Content Remix Machine

Instead of reinventing the wheel, start repurposing your own content–podcast interviews, emails to friends, even voice notes on your phone.

Prompt Example:

“Here’s a transcript of me talking about how I left corporate to start my coaching business [paste text]. Turn this into a LinkedIn carousel outline and a short Instagram caption that sound like me, playful but insightful.”

Result: AI helps spin one raw idea into multiple pieces of content for different platforms–without diluting your voice.

3. Personalized Client Outreach That Doesn’t Sound Robotic

So you want to build deeper relationships with warm leads, but hate feeling like you're spamming people?

Prompt Example:

“Write a warm follow-up email to a potential client who attended my workshop on burnout recovery. Keep it conversational, reference something specific they shared (‘wanting more freedom with their time’), and gently invite them to a 30-minute discovery call.”

Result: Instead of blasting generic emails, send personalized, heart-centered messages that actually start intimate conversations.

A Spark of Inspiration:

"Technology is best when it brings people together, not when it pulls them apart." – Matt Mullenweg

AI isn’t about taking you out of the process, it’s about giving you back the mental space to show up more you.

The future version of you who’s showing up consistently, attracting aligned clients, and feeling spacious in your business?

Hey Reader, A few weeks ago, I sat at my desk, staring down a blinking cursor like it was a battlefield. I had plenty to say, supposedly–I mean... I had just spent the last three years creating and finally finishing my debut book. (Coming out September 30th, eek! More on that soon). But the point is, I help people write for a living! I AM now a writer! (Okay, sorry one more little eek. I have dreamed of saying that for quite some time...) But! In that moment, every idea I reached for...

Hey Reader, My client was mid-launch, doing all the “right” things–sharing vulnerably, showing up with heart, crafting content that felt magnetic and true. We'd mapped out the offer together with intention. The systems were working. Her energy? Mostly high. And still… nothing. No new sign-ups. No curious DMs.Not even an abandoned cart whisper on the sales page. My brain scrambled to problem-solve. Maybe the messaging needed a tweak? Maybe the price point was off? Maybe she should add a bonus,...

Hey Reader, I almost didn’t hit publish. The post was incredibly raw. Not polished, not packaged. Just a real-time window into the ache I was moving through – the fear of being seen, the voice in my head that still whispered, Who do you think you are? It wasn’t strategic. It didn’t tie into a launch. It wasn’t teaching anything. It was just… me. Naming my doubt. Naming my hope. Acknowledging the awkwardness of the messy middle. But the gentle nudge within my heart, that gentle tug said: share...
