From AI-Phobic to AI-Powered: My Honest Journey

Let me tell you about the day I stopped fighting AI and started thriving with it...

Six months ago, I'll admit it—I was scared of AI.

As a contractor, I thought using AI meant sacrificing the personal touch that makes my work valuable. I'd tried it a few times and got those generic, emoji-filled responses that made me cringe.

"This isn't me," I thought. "My clients deserve better."

But I was missing the point entirely.

Then I met Callan Faulkner, and everything changed. She didn't teach me to let AI take over—she taught me to make AI an extension of who I already am.

The Results Speak for Themselves:
✅ Higher quality deliverables for my clients (that actually sound like me)
✅ Reduced work hours without sacrificing results
✅ Finally writing my book (been putting it off for years)
✅ Better work-life balance (AI helps with everything from project planning to meal prep)

The transformation wasn't just professional—it was personal. AI became my thinking partner, helping me work through challenges and tackle projects I'd been avoiding.

Here's What I Learned...
Most people are using AI wrong. They're asking for generic content instead of training it to understand their unique voice, process, and clients.

When you get it right? AI becomes your ultimate business multiplier.

The opportunity right now is massive. While most businesses are still doing things the hard way, the smart ones are implementing AI systems that let them scale without the burnout.

Why I'm Sharing This...
Callan's doing her Effortless Business Bootcamp October 2nd, 7th & 9th—and for $47, it's honestly ridiculous value.
She's pulling back the curtain on the actual AI systems running 7 & 8-figure businesses. Not theory. Real workflows you can implement immediately.

If you're a business owner who's:

Overwhelmed by manual processes
Curious about AI but don't know where to start
Tired of working IN your business instead of ON it
Ready to scale without adding more hours

This is for you.
The businesses that figure this out now will have a massive advantage. The ones that don't... well, they'll be wondering how everyone else got so far ahead.

P.S. - Still on the fence? Ask yourself: What's it costing you to keep doing everything manually? Your time is worth more than $47.

The other day someone asked me, “Why would I need my own bot when I can just use ChatGPT?”

It’s kind of like this… imagine if every time you walked into your favorite coffee shop, the barista had no idea who you were. You’d have to explain your order from scratch, how you like your coffee, and which milk you prefer—every single time.

Now imagine they not only remember your drink, but they know you just got back from vacation, you’re avoiding dairy this month, and you always ask for your muffin warmed up. They don’t have to relearn you—they know you.

That’s what a personalized bot does. It’s ChatGPT, but trained on your tone, your offers, your stories, and the way you like to work.
It’s like having an assistant who’s been by your side for months, ready to create in your voice without you having to explain yourself every time.

How you could use it:
In business: Draft blog posts, write emails, plan social content, answer FAQs, create client resources—all in your exact voice.

In life: Plan meals based on your preferences, create routines you’ll actually follow, write journal prompts that match your season, and even help with gift ideas.

The best part? You stop wasting time re-explaining your tone, values, and goals—and just get to creating.

If you’d like to explore having your own bot created at beta pricing, DM me BOT.

I’ve been having a lot of conversations lately with women who are in that “in-between” season.
Some are rebranding.
Some are pivoting.
Some are starting completely over after life threw them a curveball.

And almost every single one has said some version of…
“I know what I want to build, but I need clarity, a plan, and a way to show up without burning out.”

That’s where I love to step in.

Sometimes that looks like a Branding Power Hour where we nail down your brand voice and framework so you can finally feel clear and confident.

Other times, it’s building a personalized GPT — basically your own AI assistant that already knows your content, your style, and your goals so it can help you create posts, emails, client resources, and more in minutes.

If you’re in that in-between space, wondering what’s next and ready for some guidance, send me a message.

Let’s talk about where you are now, what you’re building, and how I can help you get there.

Ever wish you had a virtual assistant who already knew your business, your offers, your ideal clients… and your voice?

I just designed a personalized AI bot for a client in the travel industry, and it’s going to be a game-changer.

Her bot can:
➤ Create social posts that sound like her
➤ Write follow-ups for leads and clients
➤ Suggest travel itineraries
➤ Answer common client questions instantly
➤ Help her stay consistent without spending hours at her desk

It’s like having your own version of ChatGPT that’s trained just for you — for both business and even personal life tasks. (I've planned float trips, our meals for the week based on what we have in the garden, and even to work through some hard things.)

I’m opening up a few more spots at a beta price to create these for other small businesses in exchange for feedback and a testimonial.

If you’re curious what this could look like for you, drop a ❤️below or message me and I’ll share the details.

Something I’ve been saying a lot lately?
AI isn’t meant to replace you—it’s meant to support you.

That’s exactly what a personalized GPT does. It’s your own private version of ChatGPT that already knows your content, your voice, and your priorities—so you don’t have to start from scratch every time.

In this video, I’m breaking down:
• The difference between regular ChatGPT and a personalized GPT
• How it can simplify everything from meal planning to content creation to business strategy
• What it looks like to train one with your own podcasts, copy, and videos

Right now, I’m offering a limited number of personalized GPT builds at a discounted rate for small business owners and creatives who are ready to stop spinning their wheels and finally have a tool that works like an extension of their brain.

If you’ve been curious about AI or you’re tired of re-explaining yourself to ChatGPT every time, this is your chance to see what a bot built just for you can do.

Drop me a message with “BOT” and I’ll send you the details.

I love when I get to fix a problem for a small business or creative out of the blue!

Casey, a travel agent who books luxury adults-only getaways, cruises, and family trips, came to me needing some things fixed in her back end. (Check her out!)

She pours her heart into the client experience and she recently realized something was broken in her funnel and she had lost over $50K in potential revenue.

While she is in the Bahamas at a conference, we communicated back and forth and I got to dig in even surprising her with a second version of her Email signature with her soon to be last name!

Behind every small business is someone working hard for their people, and sometimes the systems just need a tune-up to keep up with their heart.

If you’re tired of leads slipping through the cracks or spending hours on the wrong tasks, this is exactly where I can step in.

Let’s make your backend as strong as your client experience.❤️

I just wrapped up another personalized GPT build, and this one was so much fun to create for my friend Jerri, an author and speaker with a heart for encouraging midlife women of faith who is releasing her first book very soon!

Her custom assistant is trained to sound exactly like her—Southern charm and all (y’all, Mama, MawMaw!)—and it’s ready to help her:
➔ Draft blog posts.
➔ Write Instagram captions in her voice.
➔ Assist her in building her community.
➔ Plan Facebook content to grow her audience.
➔ Map out book signing events and so much more!

This GPT feels like having a virtual assistant who already knows her heart and her mission inside her phone!
I’ve got one more spot available at my beta rate before pricing increases.

If you’ve been curious about having your own version of ChatGPT that knows you—your voice, your offers, and your people—this is your chance to grab it.

Drop “INFO” below or DM me and I’ll share the details

What if your version of ChatGPT already knew your business—your voice, your offers, and what your audience needs?

That’s exactly what a custom GPT bot can do.

Instead of starting from scratch every time, this personalized AI tool is trained on your content. It can help you:

– Write posts, emails, and product descriptions
– Plan launches, courses, or podcast episodes
– Answer client FAQs in your brand voice
– Keep your messaging consistent without hiring a team

I’ve been building these for small business owners, authors, and creatives who want to save time while staying aligned with their brand.

Want to see if a custom GPT would be a good fit for your business?

Try out the lead assistant I just built here:

https://chatgpt.com/g/g-6887a50269488191ac576ab015e83b6b-jen-conrad-of-the-smart-stacktm

This bot will help you explore the difference between using regular ChatGPT vs. a personalized version—and guide you to the next step if you’re ready.

Back from a weekend of rest and reset—and now I’m diving into building 3 custom bots this week.

One of them is for Jane.

She’s a creative, publishing her first book.
She’s poured her heart into it.
But when it came time to launch—she hit a wall. She had no idea where to start.

Too many questions.
Not enough time.
And no desire to be looking for all the answers on her own.

We’re building her a personalized bot that:
– Shares her story and book details
– Answers common questions (like where to order + what formats it’s in)
– Gathers email addresses for her list
– Makes it easy for readers to stay connected even after launch day

It’s like having a digital assistant who knows exactly how to speak in her voice—and frees her up to stay creative instead of getting buried in admin tasks.

I’ve got 1 beta bot spot left this week.
If you’ve got a course, offer, event, or product—and you want a bot that can support your audience while you breathe…

Drop a ❤️ and I’ll send the details.

Lynn didn’t need another pep talk—she needed a way to start again.

After years of caregiving for both of her parents, she was left with no job, no savings, and no idea who she was without that role. She told me, “I had become an afterthought in my own life.”

That stuck with me. Because I’ve felt that too.

Lynn has a powerful plan to help Christian women heal after caregiving and loss. It’s not another grief group. It’s a space to rebuild—physically, spiritually, mentally, and emotionally.

She’s done the hard work behind the scenes. Now we’re building her a custom bot to bring it forward.

This bot will:
– Share her story and message
– Answer questions and guide people to take the next step
– Offer support when she can’t be everywhere at once

If you have something on your heart—a program, membership, or message—and you want help getting it out into the world without burning out…

I’m offering 2 more beta bot builds in exchange for feedback and a testimonial.

Drop a ❤️ or message me if you want the details.
