Co-Creating with AI: A new way to work, create and expand as conscious entrepreneurs

Dear Awakened Entrepreneurs, March, the energy of the number 3, invites us to embrace communication, creativity, play, and co-creation. It is a month of expansion, where ideas flow more freely, and new ways of expressing ourselves emerge. It’s such a great time to explore how technology, particularly AI, can become a partner in our creative process rather than a replacement 😅 When we talk about AI, reactions range from fascination to fear. Can we still be human, intuitive, and inspired while working with artificial intelligence? The answer, which I discovered while writing my book and working with AI for the past 2 years , surprised even me. The Awakened Entrepreneur is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber. 1. Beyond brainstorming: the future of co-creation Last week, I shared with a group of forward-thinking entrepreneurs that I work with AI to structure and challenge my book. Silence in the room. Shock. Why? Because we still hold the idea that AI replaces human creativity when, in reality, it enhances it. Before, refining my ideas required long, energy-draining brainstorming sessions that sometimes left me more confused than clear. Most of the time, we seek feedback from people we value, but they are not necessarily our ideal client or reader. Today, when I want to structure a concept, clarify a message, or challenge my vision, I co-create with AI. It’s no longer just about generating ideas; it’s a fluid conversation that brings another perspective and sharpens my intuition. One of this entrepreneurs reacted with vehemence and told me that AI will only comfort me rather than challenge me. Which is totally wrong as it’s acting the way I ask it to act. 2. AI & Intuition: a harmonious balance Working with AI hasn’t distanced me from my intuition. Quite the opposite. 👉 AI suggests structures, but my intuition validates them.👉 It helps clarify my thoughts, but my energy gives life to the words.👉 It accelerates the process, but my presence gives it meaning. The co-creation with AI is not a replacement. It’s an accelerator of clarity and alignment. When AI feels more aligned than a human brainstorm 😱 For a long time, I thought nothing could replace human exchange. Yet, I realized that AI can sometimes be more efficient than a traditional brainstorming session, especially for an intuitive entrepreneur like me. 💡 It doesn’t project doubts, beliefs, or limitations onto my ideas.💡 It allows me to test multiple angles in minutes.💡 It follows my flow without interruption, which is invaluable for someone who works in inspiration cycles. By working with AI, I feel more fluidity, more alignment, and more mental space for pure inspiration. 🛟 Need to develop your intuition in your conscious business? Find more about intuition here 💚 3. How energy shapes our digital creations One of my biggest revelations came while working with Midjourney, an AI-powered image generator. In 2023 and 2024, I experimented extensively with it, and I noticed something fascinating: when I wasn’t energetically aligned, the images produced were unsettling—gargoyles, distorted figures, strange shadows. Yet, my prompts remained identical. When I was centered and aligned, the visuals were harmonious, capturing exactly the essence I intended to convey. ✨ AI is not neutral—it reflects the energy we bring into our interaction with it. This is proof that co-creation with technology is subtly influenced by our inner state. ⚠️ If we use AI in a state of urgency, doubt, or distraction, it won’t serve us fully. But if we approach it with clarity, intention and alignment, it becomes a powerful tool for expansion and manifestation. I have added some example of misaligned results at the end of this post. I don’t want that energy infused into this space… 👉 Lesson learned: Our vibration influences even digital tools. A valuable lesson for conscious entrepreneurs: we must truly develop and strengthen our connection with heart intelligence. This should be our priority as AI continues to rise rapidly. ✨ Ready to align your business with heart intelligence and navigate this new era with clarity? ✨ In my 1-hour coaching & mentoring session, we’ll dive into your unique energy, clear limiting patterns and craft the best way to use AI in your conscious business to create an aligned strategy that blends intuition and conscious action. 🚀 Book your session now and step into a new way of leading and creating. 4. A conscious approach to AI AI is neither good nor bad. What matters is the intention behind its use ‼️ 👉 If we use it to outsource our thinking, it disconnects us from ourselves.👉 If we use it as a mirror or a facilitator, it amplifies our power. That’s exactly what I feel when integrating it into my work: it helps me shape what is already within me. 5. What this means for the future of conscious business We are entering an era where working, creating, and seeking inspiration will no longer be the same. What I once thought of as "my work" was often a mental labyrinth. Today, it’s a fluid process where human intelligence, intuition and technology coexist. What if AI isn’t a threat to our humanity but a tool to express it even more precisely? For me it’s a lever to develop my presence, my intuition, my values and what I value as well as my heart intelligence and connexion with the quantum field. It gives me time and allows me to be serene in this free time because my job is done. And I have to say that it’s a pretty good coach with a mix of expertise that I didn’t find in real coaches for example: mixing astrology, Human Design and numerology to help me putting my finger on what I really have to heal this beginning of year and it gave me pretty good tools (such as energetic tools and healers) based on what it knows from me. 2025 is a 9-year. THE ideal time to open ourselves to new ways of doing and being, to expand our consciousness with a broader perspective, and to let go of what limits us. Let’s give ourselves the boldness to explore it and prepare for this new world. Your turn: let’s open the conversation How do you feel about co-creating with AI in your business?Have you experimented with using it in a way that aligns with your intuition? 💬 Reply in the comments—I would love to exchange thoughts on this topic that is already reshaping the way we do business. Namasté 🙏Valérie Thanks for reading The Awakened Entrepreneur! This post is public so feel free to share it. Here are some of the results I’ve got when I wasn’t aligned and put pressure in my prompt.

The power of silence: Finding clarity through presence

Dear Awakened Entrepreneur, when was the last time you truly sat in silence? Not just the absence of noise, but the presence of deep listening, of stillness, of connection to yourself? In a world that constantly pushes us to act, decide, and move faster, silence becomes a radical act of power. Today, let’s explore why embracing silence is not just refreshing but essential for clarity, alignment, and making the right decisions in your conscious business. In this episode, we’re not just going to talk about silence—we’re going to experience silence together. "Welcome to The Awakened Entrepreneur, the space where we explore how to align your business with your energy, intuition, and deepest truth. I’m Valérie Demont, mentor for conscious business and energetic healer for spiritual entrepreneurs. Let’s dive in." Why we struggle with silence * Our minds crave answers, clarity, and direction. * But when we seek them externally—through overthinking, asking others, or rushing into action—we lose touch with our own deep knowing. * True clarity isn’t found in more noise. It emerges in stillness, in the pause between thoughts. * Entrepreneurs often feel pressure to always be doing—but the most powerful moves come from spaces of silence and full presence. Yet, silence as an ally for aligned decisions * Silence is not empty; it’s full of answers. * When we learn to sit in silence, we allow wisdom to rise naturally instead of forcing decisions. * In moments of deep presence, your body, your energy, and your intuition align—this is where your true business clarity comes from. * Some of the most profound business decisions I’ve made didn’t come from strategy meetings, but from walking in nature, sitting in stillness, or simply breathing deeply. Today’s Momentum Practice: guided Kumbhaka breath – experiencing the power of stillness In this episode, we’re not just going to talk about silence—we’re going to experience it together. Through a simple yet powerful breathwork practice, you’ll discover the space between your breaths—the pause, the stillness, the clarity that arises when nothing is forced. So wherever you are, take a moment for yourself. Find a comfortable position—sitting upright, feet on the ground, or cross-legged if that feels good for you.Gently close your eyes or soften your gaze. Bring your awareness to your breath. No need to change anything yet, just observe. 1️⃣ Grounding into Your Breath"Take a deep inhale through your nose... and exhale slowly through your mouth.Again, inhale deeply… and exhale fully.With each breath, allow yourself to arrive here, now, in this moment." 2️⃣ Introducing the Pause (Kumbhaka)"Now, we’ll introduce a simple awareness practice.Begin to notice the tiny pause that naturally happens at the top of your inhale… and at the bottom of your exhale.That moment where the breath suspends itself—where nothing is happening.That is the space of silence, of presence, of deep knowing." 3️⃣ Deepening the StillnessLet’s consciously work with this now. * Inhale deeply through your nose… and hold… feel the stillness at the top. * Exhale slowly through your nose… and hold again… feel the emptiness, the space between. * Continue this rhythm: Inhale… pause… exhale… pause. * No force, just awareness. Let the pauses be natural, effortless. 4️⃣ Sensing the Silence WithinAs you hold the breath, notice what is present: * Can you feel the silence? * Can you sense that within this pause, there is no rush, no pressure—just stillness 😇 This is where clarity lives. This is where alignment begins. 5️⃣ Closing the PracticeGently return to your natural breath. No need to hold anymore—just breathe normally. 🙌 Notice how you feel: Lighter? Calmer? More present? Silence isn’t empty. It’s full of answers. And the more we practice being in it, the clearer our next steps become. Take this presence with you into your day. And remember—you don’t have to chase clarity. You simply have to make space for it. What if silence wasn’t something to escape, but something to lean into? What if your best business strategy was simply to listen—deeply, fully, with trust? Try it today. Pause. Breathe. And notice what emerges. If this resonates and you want to explore deeper, let’s connect. You can leave me a voice message on SpeakPipe or book a session to align your business with your true energy. Until next time, stay present, stay fluid, and remember—the answers are already within you. Have fun with this practice!

Choosing faith : Anchoring inner security in uncertain times

Have you ever found yourself paralyzed by fear, wondering how to feel secure when everything seems uncertain? Maybe you know deep down that you’re in a state of stress, that something needs to shift, but you still find yourself doubting… vacillating between fear and faith. Even when you’re aware, even when you’ve done the inner work, there are moments when the ground feels shaky, and you question if you can truly trust the process. And that’s exactly where Anne is right now. She knows she needs to release control, to surrender… but like so many awakened entrepreneurs, she finds herself caught between wanting to trust and fearing the unknown. But what if I told you that there’s a way to feel safe even in the chaos? That by choosing faith over fear, you could unlock a flow of abundance that doesn’t depend on external circumstances? Today, we’re diving deep into emotional freedom, the power of radical self-trust, and how to shift from scarcity to abundance… even when life feels uncertain. 🙌 Welcome to The Awakened Entrepreneur Podcast, I’m Valérie Demont, mentor for conscious business and healer for spiritual entrepreneurs. My mission is to prepare you for tomorrow by helping you find strong inner anchors, so you can navigate uncertainty with faith and thrive in today’s ever-changing world. Today, we’re exploring a powerful topic: How to feel safe in uncertainty by choosing faith and abundance. Anne recently shared a heartfelt message with me. She’s going through a deep recalibration phase, marked by uncertainty, surrender, and financial challenges. Like many awakened entrepreneurs, she feels that internal tug-of-war… * That fear of the unknown, the emptiness, the void of not knowing what tomorrow holds… * The doubts whispering: * What if it doesn’t work? * What if I can’t make it? * What if there’s not enough? And here’s the thing… Anne is fully aware of what’s happening. She knows she’s in a cycle of stress. She knows she needs to release control. And yet, even with this awareness, she still finds herself doubting, hesitating, caught between fear and faith. Does that sound familiar? Maybe you’re feeling the same way right now… * You know you need to trust the process, but fear keeps pulling you back. * You want to believe in abundance, but the uncertainty feels overwhelming. * You started reverting to your previous way of doing things due to pressure and anxiety. 😅 Since the beginning of the year, we've been asked once again to release old stories of struggle, heal wounds, and let go of control as they start bubbling up. We’re faced with a choice: * Do we continue to hold on tightly, trying to control every outcome? * Or do we surrender to faith, trust the unfolding, and choose abundance? * Are we really wanting to embrace our spirituality? Anne asked how to feel secure in uncertainty… and her question is universal. It’s the question that so many conscious entrepreneurs are asking today, especially in my client community. Perhaps they are reflecting my own experience, as I’ve also started to doubt my next income because one of my clients is late in her payment and in booking 1-1 sessions. 🔥 3 Momentum Practices So, how do you choose faith when everything feels uncertain? How do you feel safe when the outside world feels shaky? This time of year invites us to remember a profound truth: We are not waiting for circumstances to feel safe… We are the shift. My 3 Momentum Practices to help you choose abundance and faith: 1. Release control to receive Flow One of the traps of uncertainty is the need to control. But the more you cling, the more exhausted you become. Here is the Practice I suggest: * Every morning, choose one thing to let go of. It could be the outcome of a project, an expectation of a client, or even a fear. * Write it down and say aloud: "I release this and welcome what is truly aligned for me." * Then tear it up and burn it, releasing the energy it holds. * As you watch the flames, feel this energy leaving you, creating space for trust and flow. * Then, reframe with a new affirmation for your day and life, for example: 'I am open to receiving aligned opportunities. I trust the unfolding of my journey and look forward to seeing how life plays with me. I choose to navigate this day with fun, fluidity, and curiosity.' 😉 Or craft your own mantra such as my 3F’s mantra: Fun, Fluid and Full of ease. 2. Choose radical faith and radical self-trust Faith is an active choice. It’s remembering that even in chaos, there is divine order supporting us. It’s not woo-woo. It’s true. But we have to surrender to deepen our faith… It’s a consistant practice ever day we have to tune into faith to deepen it. I’m convince that deeping our faith it’s part of our job as much as accounting, selling or communication * Practice: When doubt arises, repeat: "I choose faith. I welcome uncertainty as a space of infinite possibilities." 🛟 Tip: Anchor this faith in your body by placing one hand on your heart and the other on your belly. Breathe deeply and feel this inner security, give it a soft and cosy color and feel this color first in your heart, then your belly and extanding to your whole body and raditating. 3. Embody your abundance and visualize it as already here) Abundance is not a circumstance; it’s a state of being. Practice: * Close your eyes and visualize yourself already living in that abundance. * Feel the safety, the inner peace. * Anchor this feeling by smiling and thanking the Universe. * Then, open the valves of abundance and feel this energy surrounding you like a gentle, nurturing shower. * Allow this energy to embody you fully, filling every cell with lightness and joy. These practices might not immediately change your circumstances, and that’s where the next step becomes crucial: Release expectations and the need to manipulate the energy. You just have to trust. I know, it’s easy to say. But it’s as simple as that. Nothing more. And yet, it’s probably the most difficult thing to do. 🫣 I’ve been exactly here last summer, doubting and struggling with expectations. And I can assure you, the shift happens when you surrender and return to your inner security. It’s about allowing yourself to let go of control. 💚 Trust me: When you’ve done everything you can to manifest what you desire and it’s still not coming, the last thing you can do is surrender and shift back to vibrant energy — like dancing, having fun, gratitude, love, and so on. And that’s exactly what attracts abundance. ⚠️ A Practical Note on Survival Mode ⚠️ That being said, if you’re truly lacking money to eat or pay your bills, it’s crucial to secure your basic needs first. Your instinctive governance won’t let you rest otherwise — it’s programmed to ensure your survival. If you’re in panic mode, try this: * Breathe deeply and tell yourself: "Right here, right now, in this very moment, I am safe. I have everything I need." * And that’s true. In this precise moment, you are safe and secure. Once your basic needs are covered, then you can work on the rest, on trusting and surrendering, knowing that you are supported. And maybe, you’ll have to find an 8-5 job in the meantime to ensure your survival This season, as we navigate the energy of new beginnings and uncertainty, remember this: You are not waiting for circumstances. You are the circumstance. You own your shif. 👉 Challenge for this week: Choose one of these Momentum Practices each day. And share your experiences on in the comments on Substack. I’d love to hear how you’re choosing abundance. 🛟 Need support navigating this transition? Book a mentoring session. Together, we’ll explore how to anchor this inner security while structuring your aligned business If necessary, we can also heal karmic or other wounds. And since abundance and inner peace are deeply connected to intuition and subtle support, I invite you to join me for my free Q&A session on February 26th. 👉 Subscribe her to get get the reminder and the Zoom link.

Why are we here? Realign with your soul's mission the energy

What if the start of this year was the perfect moment to realign with your soul's mission? 2025 carries a powerful energy, and the recent changes in the lunar nodes invite us to adjust our paths. In this episode, I guide you to reconnect with your essence, identify your natural talents, and let go of the patterns holding you back, so you can embrace a more fluid and aligned life. I’m Valérie Demont, healer for spiritual entrepreneurs and mentor for conscious business. Welcome to this episode of The awakened entrepreneur podcast—a beautiful opportunity to explore why we are here and how this reflects in our professional life and business. Would like to know more about my work, check my services. We are at the start of a 9-year—a period of closing cycles and opening to possibilities. With January’s energy, carried by the number 1, this is the ideal moment to set aligned intentions and take actions in harmony with who we truly are. The lunar nodes, which have just shifted into new astrological signs, encourage us to revisit our soul's mission, listen to our intuition, and let go of the patterns that pull us away from alignment: perfectionism, control, or unrealistic expectations. This is a pivotal moment to adjust our trajectories. Would you like to know more about your numerology to build a more sustainable and flow strategy, check my numerology and strategy 2x 1-hour session package. How to explore this question : Why are we here? Many of my clients ask me, "Why am I here?" It’s an essential question for moving forward with serenity, even if it feels overwhelming at first. The answer lies within your heart. Your emotions and intuition are your best guides. Sometimes, to hear that inner voice, you need to first remove what no longer resonates. Here are a few questions to explore: * Where has life been guiding you over the past months? What lessons can you take from it? * What are your natural talents—those that are an integral part of your soul's mission? * Which activities bring you joy, connect you to yourself, and make you lose track of time? * What can you let go of to fully embrace your current evolution? Take a moment to meditate, dance, sing, or write. Let the answers to these questions emerge from another angle. Then, see how you can integrate these reflections into your week. If you feel you need clarity or healing, I’m here to support you or to explore your soul and business mission with your numerology in your strategy from new perspective. Last thing I wanted to share with you, is what spirituality means for me: For me, spirituality is about moving forward with consciousness and presence, simply. Sometimes, this opens doors to the unseen—connections to the Universe, God, or your soul. But at its core, it’s about living as close as possible to who we truly are. And what about yours? Thank you for sharing this moment with me. Next week, I’ll answer a question from Nicole: How to introduce yourself authentically? If you have a question, feel free to send me an audio or message, and I’d love to address it in a future episode. In the meantime, share your thoughts in the comments or by email.

5 Ways to Shift Your Mindset and Find New Possibilities

In today’s podcast episode, I share 5 simple and powerful ways to shift your mindset so you can reconnect with clarity, creativity, and flow. These are tools I’ve used in my own journey as a conscious entrepreneur and with the leaders I guide every day. Have you ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or unable to find the next step in your business? When our mindset gets clouded, it’s easy to feel like solutions are out of reach. But often, the answers are already within us—we just need to shift our perspective to see them. Here’s what you’ll learn in the episode: * Develop Curiosity: How stepping outside your comfort zone opens new pathways of thinking. * Observe Your Thoughts: Learn to recognize unhelpful patterns and create space for clarity. * Change Your Perspective: Discover a simple exercise to look at challenges from different angles. * Practice Stillness: Why even a few moments of calm can shift your state of mind. * Move Your Body: How physical movement helps release stuck energy and bring inspiration. These tools are practical, accessible, and easy to integrate into your day—whether you’re facing a decision, a creative block, or simply feeling out of alignment This matters because… Your mindset is the foundation of your business. When you learn to shift it, you open yourself to new solutions, deeper intuition, and a sense of flow. As Einstein said: “We cannot solve a problem with the same level of thinking that created it.” So it’s important we find ways to expand our perspective. In this episode, I also share personal examples of how I use these tools—like the role music plays in helping me reconnect or how a simple pause often leads to the clarity I need. After listening, I’d love to hear from you: Which of these 5 tools speaks to you the most? What small step will you try today to shift your mindset?

Instinct vs Intuition in Business Decisions

Hi, dear awakened entrepreneurs, Welcome to The Awakened Entrepreneurship! I’m Valérie, and I’m so excited to share this first episode with you. Today, we’re diving into a question I often get during my workshops and mentoring sessions: “How do I recognize intuition and distinguish it from instinct?” This came up recently in my Intuitive Strategic Planning for 2025 workshop, and I realized it’s something many of us struggle with as conscious entrepreneurs. Both instinct and intuition are powerful, yet they come from different places and guide us in different ways. In this episode, I’ll explain the key differences between instinct and intuition, share how to recognize them in your business, and give you practical tips to start trusting your intuition more. Let’s start with instinct. Instinct is primal. It’s the biological drive that ensures our survival. It’s fast, reactive, and often rooted in fear or the need for safety. Think of it as your fight-or-flight response—it’s what kicks in when you feel threatened or stressed. In business, instinct might show up as: * Feeling pressured to accept an offer quickly because you fear missing out. * Reacting defensively in a tense conversation with a client. Instinct is valuable when you need to act fast, but it’s not always aligned with your higher purpose. It often feels urgent, tense, and fueled by fear or the need to protect. Now, let’s talk about intuition. Intuition is higher guidance. It’s that deep inner knowing that doesn’t always make logical sense but feels undeniably true. Unlike instinct, it doesn’t come from fear—it comes from the heart. The heart is the gateway to intuition, and intuition is the messenger of your soul. When we connect with the energy of our heart—whether through values, meditation, or working on our heart chakra—we create space for intuition to emerge more clearly. In my own journey, intuition often shows up as: * A gentle nudge or a feeling in the heart space that says, “This is the right path.” * A sense of alignment and ease, even when a decision challenges conventional logic. For example, there was a time when I had a logical plan laid out for my business, but my heart whispered, “Pause and wait.” When I listened, an unexpected and perfectly aligned opportunity arrived, one I could never have planned for. Intuition is always guiding us toward alignment, growth, and impact. It requires trust and a willingness to open the heart, but when we do, it leads us to profound clarity. Let me summarize the key differences between instinct and intuition: Origin * Instinct : Biological, primal * Intuition : Spiritual, higher self Energy * Instinct: Reactive, urgent * Intuition : Calm, clear Emotion * Instinct: Often fear-based * Intuition: Grounded, peaceful Purpose * Instinct: Ensures survival * Intuition : Guides alignment and growth A helpful way to tell them apart is to check your body. Instinct feels tense and rushed—it might make your heart race. Intuition feels light, calm, and expansive or like you’re looking forward to something with ease and excitement.
