How AI Helped Me Reclaim My Voice
In 2012, I had two strokes that changed everything. Suddenly, my brain didn’t work the same. Communication became hard — I was slow, often misunderstood, and painfully self-conscious.
I retreated into my art and the visual world because it felt safer. Decisions felt overwhelming. It was like my brain and my words lived on opposite sides of the room. I knew exactly what I wanted to say… but it wouldn’t come out clearly.
On top of that, I’ve lived with ADHD my whole life. That meant even before the strokes, focus and follow-through were a challenge. After the strokes, ADHD + brain fog made even simple tasks feel impossible. I tried sticky notes, trackers, charts, apps — anything to keep up — but it was still so hard to think, process, and move quickly.
Then, 2.5 years ago, my daughter introduced me to ChatGPT and MidJourney. That was the game changer.
I went all in on the visual side first — learning image creation, AI photoshoots, and how to prompt poses and scenes the way I used to as a photographer. Then I realized ChatGPT could do so much more. It wasn’t just answering questions — it was helping me:
- Brain dump my ideas and turn them into clarity
- Piece my scattered thoughts together into something usable
- Prioritize what mattered most (instead of chasing shiny objects)
- Create meal plans, grocery lists, and budgets
- And give me the best brainstorming partner I’d ever had
For the first time in years, it felt like I wasn’t broken anymore — like I could finally keep up with the world again.
At first, it wasn’t about business or marketing. It was about survival. It gave me a way to:
- Untangle my thoughts when they felt scattered
- Find words I could not find on my own
- Reason and conceptualize things again
- Organize ideas when ADHD made me spiral
- Write in a way I couldn’t on my own anymore
Over time, what started as survival became my superpower.
Now, I use AI every day to brainstorm, write content, create visuals, and save HOURS of energy I don’t have to waste.
That’s why I’m so passionate about sharing this with you here in House of Ambition.
Because if AI could help me reclaim clarity, it can absolutely help you save time, simplify your business, and unlock your creativity.
I just posted my AI Survival Guide for Beginners in the classroom (free resource for you). Inside, I break down:
- What AI really is (in simple words)
- Which tools to use (and their superpowers)
- 5 workflows you can try today
