    AI Is the New Intern or Life Coach or Whatever

    AI is everywhere right now, but most people are still wondering what to actually do with it. In this episode of Ambition After Hours, we pull back the curtain and talk about how we are really using AI in our businesses. From writing content and organizing ideas to speeding up research and improving workflows, AI has quickly become a tool that helps us work smarter and move faster. Think of it like the new intern on your team. It can help with the first draft, gather information, and support the creative process, but it still needs direction, strategy, and a human brain behind it. We share the ways AI supports our day-to-day work, where it saves us time, and where human experience still matters most. If you have been curious about AI but are not sure where it fits into your business, this conversation will give you a practical look at how entrepreneurs are actually using it.

    Lets Talk About Negotiation - Never Split The Difference: Book Review

    On this episode of Ambition After Hours, we dive into Never Split the Difference by Chris Voss: https://amzn.to/4aPE997  and unpack what it really teaches about negotiation, emotional intelligence, and how people actually make decisions. But we’re not just talking about boardrooms and hostage situations. We’re talking about women. Women negotiating salaries. Women setting boundaries. Women leading teams. Women running businesses. Women asking for what they deserve,  without apologizing for it. For many women, negotiation has been framed as confrontation or conflict. This book flips that narrative. It shows that negotiation isn’t about being aggressive or splitting the difference; it’s about understanding how the mind works under pressure. In this episode, we explore: Why emotions drive decisions more than logic What “tactical empathy” actually means (and why it’s powerful) The science behind feeling heard and understood Why compromise often leads to poor results Prospect theory and why fear of loss is stronger than desire for gain How to use “no” as a tool instead of fearing it Some of our biggest takeaways? Negotiation is emotional regulation. Understanding beats convincing. And clarity creates stronger outcomes than compromise ever will. Whether you’re negotiating a contract, your salary, a client agreement, or a boundary in your personal life — this conversation will change how you approach it. If you’ve ever struggled to ask for more, hold your ground, or feel confident in high-stakes conversations, this one’s for you.

    What if tight hips, random aches, and that weird “stuck” feeling in your body weren’t about age… but about fascia? In this episode of Get Fit With Brit, we dive deep (literally) into the world of fascia, the connective tissue that wraps your muscles, organs, and joints like a full-body wetsuit. We talk about why it matters, how it affects mobility, pain, posture, hydration, nervous system regulation, and athletic performance… and why so many practitioners are calling fascia the missing link in modern fitness and wellness.
