    2025/10/10

    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.

  • #19 AI-Empowered Mom | Women, Money, Power (and AI) with Josie Cox
    2025/08/22

    Money is power, and women have been fighting for both for centuries. In this episode, journalist and author Josie Cox joins AI-Empowered Mom to talk about the intersection of gender, equity, and emerging technology. We unpack her new book Women, Money, Power, diving into the motherhood penalty, why women have been slower to adopt AI, and how artificial intelligence could either close or widen the gender pay gap depending on what we do next.

    Josie shares how becoming a mother pushed her to go freelance, how she personally uses AI for research and editing, and why she believes it’s more dangerous for women to sit out the AI revolution than to jump in. We also challenge the myth that women lack ambition, explore how fathers need to be part of the conversation, and reflect on the power of rewriting old systems with new tools.
