Here’s a great reframe from the brilliant Molly Mahoney and it’s such a timely reminder for all of us deep in the world of AI, content, tools and workflows: The tool is not the point. The outcome is. With new AI platforms dropping almost weekly, it’s easy to get caught in the comparison loop. We start thinking the right tool will make or break our success. But the truth? 👉 Most strategies work across platforms. 👉 Your goals, workflow and what you’re trying to build should lead the decision. 👉 And the biggest risk is mistaking endless “research” for real progress. We’ve seen this inside our community too: people overwhelmed by options, switching tools every month, getting stuck chasing the next “better” feature, instead of just shipping the thing. So here’s a better way to look at it: 🔍 First, ask: What am I really building? Are you trying to… Launch a paid offer or lead magnet fast? Build a workflow or internal tool to support your biz? Create a long-term scalable product with embedded AI? Add personality and vibe to your brand presence? Each of those has different requirements and there’s no one right tool for all of it. Some tools are amazing for rapid visual design. Others are perfect for building robust automations. Others shine in simplicity or community features or data integrations. ✨ Use the one that helps you move. 🚫 And let’s stop the tool shame. Whether you’re using Notion or Softr, ChatGPT or Claude, Canva or Runway, Motion or ClickUp… it’s all valid if it’s working for you. Sales don’t come from the “fanciest” stack. They come from shipping, testing, and showing up. So instead of comparing tools like sports teams maybe the better question is: “What’s the simplest tool I can use to build momentum today?” Then stick with it long enough to learn it. Run your strategy. See how the market responds. 💡 Let’s talk more about this. what tools are working for you right now? Where are you feeling stuck? Huge thanks to Molly Mahoney for the refreshing clarity on this one 🙌🏼

Sounding more like yourself

Hi beautiful humans! I've been refreshing the SHE IS AI brand, and calls and classroom area; new vibes, new covers, new content, and new exciting calls, resources, and events already lined up for the year ahead! If you’ve already got a class, course, resources or replays in there already (like @Monika Mileva @El Wong @Cassandra Lambert @Lexi Gilbert thank you! ) Let me know if you like your new zone! And if you’re someone with something to share a course, a workshop, a tool, or something valuable for the community, I’d love to help you create your own classroom space. (👀 Looking at you @Florentina Stefanescu @Beth Zukowsky @Jessica Sams @Nagawa Lule @Jennifer Reedie @Jennifer Hufnagel @Margarida Barreto @Ricquel Harper and everyone else quietly brewing something that I have talked to about having a classroom space! Now is your time!) We’re building a powerful, supportive library of tools, voices, and wisdom for women leading with AI and this is your invitation to be part of it. Sing out if you'd like to co-create a space or contribute something. Let’s make 2026 the year of clarity, collaboration, and creativity!

Cassandra was joking that I'm like an AI-driven fairy godmother; bibbidy boppidy boop! It was funny but there’s actually a lot of truth in that. One because I was talking and I sounded like that and because my role is greater than sharing 'AI' with you. I'm not here just to help you with AI tech or how to do automations, or tell you to use AI for everything to replace your thinking, or to turn you into a template version of someone else’s success. It’s to help you bring your soul, your energy, and your uniqueness into what you’re creating and then use AI to give that real leverage. Because that's what I've spent 2 years doing for myself. And because I’m seeing this pattern everywhere right now: people are using incredibly powerful tools…without really knowing themselves. And when that happens, AI doesn’t amplify brilliance it averages it. Inside Skool, I’m intentionally putting together a body of work that starts before tools, prompts, or automation. We’re focusing on: - knowing your own wiring, energy, and decision-making style - understanding your message, values, and zone of genius - building clarity around your business and personal brand - and then using AI as an editor, assistant, and strategic partner — not as the source of your voice That’s why you’ll see things like Human Design, Myers-Briggs, the AI Power Profile GPT, Vedic astrology, and brand clarity work sitting alongside AI workflows and systems. Not because we’re trying to be mystical. But because human-led AI starts with self-awareness. AI doesn’t have a soul; you do. And without you in the driver’s seat, the work becomes flat; efficient, but disconnected. I care deeply about helping people stay grounded, present, and human while building in this new era. I don’t want faster businesses if they cost people their creativity, clarity, or nervous systems. I want truer businesses and AI used in service of that. I’ll be sharing a longer Substack post soon that goes deeper into this philosophy, but I wanted to name it here first, because this is the heart of what we’re building together.
