What if AI could help you do less, not so you can cram more into your day, but so you can actually get some of your time and energy back? In this episode of Work With Your Cycle, I’m joined by Shawn Every, an AI coach, certified AI consultant, speaker, and the founder of Ask AI With Shawn, where she helps women use AI in practical, human-first ways that give them back time, capacity, and breathing room. We talk about using AI to enhance the skills you already have, rather than viewing it as something that needs to replace you. Shawn and I also dive into AI for business owners, including content creation, finding ideas, creating content in your own voice, and using AI to reduce decision fatigue. We talk about her “Sunday Setup,” which uses an AI assistant to take your calendar, brain dump, priorities, and energy level and turn them into a more manageable weekly schedule with breathing room built in. For me, one of the biggest takeaways is that awareness has to come first. Before you can use AI to support your business, you need to understand your capacity, your energy, and where you're actually spending your time. This conversation is about using technology strategically so you can protect your capacity, delegate more intentionally, and create more space for your business and your life.
