We don’t need AI to replace parents—we need AI to support them. In this episode of the AI-Empowered Mom Podcast, host Sarah Dooley is joined by Julie Kelleher, EdTech executive, entrepreneur, and creator of @likeamother.ai, for a conversation about keeping the parent in the loop when it comes to AI and families.

Julie shares how her journey from classroom teacher to education technology leader shaped her perspective on parenting in the age of AI. Together, they explore what it means to raise AI-literate kids, how to manage digital boundaries, and why parents must stay actively engaged in guiding their families through an evolving tech landscape.

From real-life examples of digital parenting to her reflections on “vaporware,” AI literacy, and middle-school humor, this episode reminds us that we don’t have to be experts to keep our families safe and informed. We just need to stay in the loop.

Together, they unpack why burnout is often systemic, not personal, and how small moments of emotional awareness can create lasting change. From navigating motherhood to redefining productivity, this conversation is both grounding and empowering.
