Who is this Julie bird?

Hello and welcome to Help with AI 👋

I’m really glad you’re here….I guess I’d better tell you a bit about who I am before the official launch of this community.

I’ve spent the last 30 years working at the intersection of creativity, business, and change. I started out in the arts, moved into digital and multimedia, and over time became the person organisations, founders, and communities turn to when things feel messy, overwhelming, or stuck.

I’ve helped thousands of people navigate big shifts. From scaling mission-led businesses, to rebuilding confidence after redundancy, to making sense of new technology without losing their values or their voice. During COVID alone, I supported over 3,000 SMEs to adapt, rethink their models, and keep going when the ground was moving fast.

AI is just the latest chapter in that story.

I’m also an ordinary person, a perimenopausal 47 year old, working class, solo parent, juggling ADHD hyperfocus and adult overwhelm lol

What I’m passionate about isn’t tech tools for the sake of it. I care about clarity, agency, and helping capable people use AI in ways that genuinely support their work, their income, and their energy. Less noise. Fewer gimmicks. More thoughtful, human-first application.

This space exists because too many smart people feel either behind, sceptical, or quietly curious about AI. All of that belongs here. You don’t need to perform. You don’t need to pretend you’ve got it all figured out. This is a place to think out loud, experiment safely, and learn how to work with AI in a way that feels aligned and useful.

Before you dive in, I’d love you to say hi below 👇

Tell me your name, what brought you here, and for fun… how long have you known me?

Is it years, months, weeks, or did we literally just meet?

Jump in, introduce yourself, and make yourself at home. I hope you are as excited as I am to grow this community.
