Ever asked ChatGPT to help you with your partner, your crush, or your mom? You’re not alone—and this episode might just shift how you see it forever.

I sit down to test how good AI really is at solving your personal problems—and spoiler: it fails in 3 surprisingly human ways

If you’ve ever opened ChatGPT in the middle of a Tinder text draft or an emotional spiral, this episode will make you rethink what advice you’re really getting.

00:49 – Why We’re Asking AI for Relationship Advice
03:05 – Can ChatGPT Handle Your Dating Drama
07:40 – Why ChatGPT Therapy Prompts Might Be Misleading
14:18 – Emotional Granularity and Personal Growth with AI
20:08 – Rethinking Hard Conversations with ChatGPT

From awkward work conflicts to pressure from family to mixed messages in dating, I asked AI for help. And the results? Some were helpful. A lot were red flags dressed as therapy.

What it gave me revealed more about us than about tech.

💬 In this podcast episode:

• The Validation Glitch Why AI often just reflects your emotions back to you—and why that can feel comforting, but misleading
  
  
• The Better Way to Ask: How to talk to AI in an emotionally smarter way—and actually get clarity.
  
  
• Stop Outsourcing Self-Worth: Why “Why does this always happen to me?” is the wrong question—and what to ask instead.

This episode won’t shame you for asking AI for advice. But it will change how you use it from now on, to start bringing in self-awareness, INNER WORK and critical thinking.

🎧 Listen now for REAL answers.

1. Share this episode with a friend who feels it’s “too late”

What if your five-year plan wasn’t meant to be followed?

What if freedom came not from doing more—but from letting go?

In this deeply personal episode, I’m sharing the journey of walking away from the timelines, titles, and metrics that once defined my worth. From failing the test that was supposed to launch my dream career…

to chasing freedom as an entrepreneur and still finding myself burned out and never enough…

to packing one suitcase and nomading around the world for three years in search of something slower, softer, and more real.

We’ll talk about:

• Why I stopped chasing influencer success (yes, I filmed workouts on my honeymoon 🙈)
• The brain science behind why hustle, comparison, and digital clutter keep us stuck
• What changed when I relocated to Portugal and began building a business around life—not the other way around

And you’ll get small but mighty ways to begin opting out, too—mentally, emotionally, and digitally.

📦 Ready to unpack your own version of freedom?

🎧 Listen for honest reflections, gentle challenges, and a new definition of success—one where your nervous system finally gets to exhale.
