The Year of the Bot Sale is here Nov. 24 - Dec. 1, 2025!

________________________________________________

It’s the end of November, and I’ve been thinking a lot about how I want next year to feel. Not just in my business, but in my actual life—the pace, the white space, the energy I want to bring in, and the things I’m done with.

So today, I’m sharing my 3 predictions for 2026—and why I’m calling it The Year of the Bot. These aren’t just tech trends; they’re clues to how we can finally run businesses that feel lighter, more human, and more aligned.

Here’s what we’ll unpack:

• Why 2026 is the Year of the Bot—and why AI is no longer optional.
• How implementation (not more strategy) will set leaders apart.
• Why the next era belongs to the ones who know how to human.
• How AI can give you back your time, creativity, and white space.
• A behind-the-scenes look at my Year of the Bot Sale—five Human-First AI offers designed to make 2026 your most spacious year yet.

• "AI isn’t replacing us. It’s releasing us to do the work only humans can do."
• "2026 belongs to the implementers—the ones who bridge great ideas and real follow-through."
• "The next era belongs to the ones who know how to human."
• "We don’t need to be busier. We just need to be braver."

If you’ve been side-eyeing social media, this one will feel like a deep exhale. Amanda Walker—“the coach that coaches coaches” with 25+ years of experience—breaks down how to get clients in a skeptical market by building trust that sticks. We talk about why posting more isn’t the answer, what RGAs (revenue-generating activities) actually look like, and how small-buy offers + radical transparency speed up buying decisions. She also shares the real story behind taking 55 days off social while bringing in $52K, and why you’re only ever 80% certain—so ship the B+ work and move.

• Why social is a nurture channel—not your primary client source
• The trust recession (and how to sell with transparency)
• RGAs: the under-the-iceberg moves that actually create revenue
• How small-buy offers accelerate trust + conversions
• Messaging in 2025: hyper-specific who + problem
• The mindset reframe: you’re only ever 80% certain—decide and move

Ever feel yourself outsourcing your power to the next course, coach or hack? Same.

In this conversation with certified coach Carly Clark Zimmer, we dig into how to rebuild self-trust so you can make clear, grounded business decisions without the constant second-guessing. We unpack why overthinking drains you more than doing, how parts work (IFS) creates internal harmony, and the simple (not easy) practice that unlocks clarity: spaciousness.

You’ll hear real talk on comparison traps, sunk-cost stubbornness, and how to know when to keep going vs. pivot.

Plus, Carly’s free tool—the Five-Minute Laser Coach—to spark a quick breakthrough.

• Why entrepreneurs outsource self-trust—and how to take it back
• The difference between thinking about doing vs. doing (and why thinking is often more exhausting)
• Parts work/IFS in plain English: letting every “instrument” in your inner orchestra be heard
• A simple decision filter: priorities, capacity, context
• When to stick with a strategy vs. press pause on what isn’t converting
• Practicing intuitive decision-making (yes, even on “what’s for dinner”)

>>MEET CARLY<<

You know when you're stuck in a loop of overthinking and second-guessing every business move? Yeah, Carly Clark Zimmer is the person who helps you get out of that. She's a certified coach, trained in Internal Family Systems, and has this magical way of blending nervous system work with business strategy. Carly helps heart-centered entrepreneurs ditch the outdated hustle programming and tap into real, embodied self-trust — the kind that lets you make aligned decisions even when the path isn’t crystal clear. Think of her like a software engineer... but for your inner operating system.

Let’s talk about monetization with AI—without the overwhelm, the jargon, or pretending you’re suddenly a coder.

In this episode we break down three clear paths to monetizing with AI that don’t require you to build a tool, start a tech company, or even understand how ChatGPT works behind the curtain.

You’ll discover how to:

• Save hours (and reclaim your evenings) by using AI to streamline the behind-the-scenes work
• Enhance your client delivery so every touchpoint feels high-touch—without adding more calls to your calendar
• Productize your expertise into AI-powered experiences that sell while you sleep

You’ll hear real-world examples, including how I turned my proprietary frameworks into tools like Brenda (the BrandCalibrator™) and Valerie (the Visibility Auditor)—and how these tools create scalable, on-brand experiences that feel personal and profitable.

Plus, I’ll walk you through the #1 mistake most creators make when building GPTs and how to protect your intellectual property before you put your methods into AI.

This episode will spark ideas for how you can work less, earn more, and serve better using AI in your business—no tech degree required.

We’ll Unpack:

• The 3 monetization paths with AI: Operational Efficiency, Enhanced Client Delivery, Productization
• How to measure ROI from time saved (and why that’s just as powerful as new income)
• A behind-the-scenes look at Kelly’s “onboarding assistant” GPT that cut her process from 20 hours to 2
• Why productizing your knowledge through AI tools can expand reach and protect your IP
• The mindset shift from “AI is replacing us” to “AI helps us human better”

__________________________________________________________________________________

This week I’m thrilled to introduce you to Andrew Bartle, longtime entrepreneur and software developer who’s been exploring how artificial intelligence can empower creators — without compromising ethics or security. He’s passionate about transparency, responsible AI, and helping people understand the technology shaping the next era of business.

And more importantly, he and I have been building a new AI platform that we’re so excited to share with you!!!

You’ve heard me share how much I use AI tools like ChatGPT in my business — from writing show notes to managing workflows — but I’ve also been feeling the tension between innovation and integrity. As creators, so much of what we share online comes from our own intellectual property: our ideas, frameworks, and hard-won experience. And yet, we rarely stop to ask: where does all that information actually go?

In this conversation, Andrew and I dig into the real-world risks and responsibilities of using generative AI as creators. We talk about what happens behind the curtain of tools like ChatGPT, what “AI governance” even means, and why protecting your IP and your audience’s data has to be part of the creative process.

It’s not about fear, it’s about awareness. AI can be an incredible support system when we understand how to use it wisely, with clear boundaries and ownership in place.

• Why creators need to think critically about data privacy and ownership
• The hidden risks of uploading your work to open AI platforms
• What “responsible AI” looks like in everyday business use
• Simple ways to check if a tool aligns with your values and data standards
• How to stay creative and innovative without giving away your IP

Have you ever felt like you’re doing all the marketing things—and still not being seen? In this special replay, I’m flipping the mic and joining Lori Young on The OfferMojo Show to talk about visibility the sustainable way: relationship-led, energy-aligned, and supported by AI.

We dig into why social media is not your only path (or even your best lead source), the difference between performative vs. strategic visibility, and the 10-minute-a-day habit that compounds into speaking invites, partnerships, and clients—without burning you out. I also share how I’m using AI (including custom GPTs) to repurpose smarter, pitch faster, and keep momentum when life gets lifey.

• Why visibility ≠ “be everywhere” (and what to do instead)
• Social media as nurture, not lead gen—and what to use for leads
• Strategic vs. performative visibility (and how to spot the difference)
• The 10-minute visibility habit that compounds over 60–90 days
• Relationship-led growth: collaborations, podcasts, speaking
• Practical ways I use AI to save time and stay in my voice
• Permission to rest: energetic alignment beats algorithm anxiety

You already know AI can save you time—but what if that’s not the real win?

Let’s dive into a belief shift that’s completely changed how I think about AI—because it’s not just about doing things faster. It’s about showing up better.

I’ll share how I turned a 20-hour task into a 2-hour one using AI. Not so I could do less, but so I could have deeper, more meaningful conversations with my clients. Because when you stop treating AI like a shortcut and start using it as a value multiplier, everything changes.

This episode will help you see how AI can actually make your business more human, not less.

You’ll learn:

• Why faster doesn’t mean less valuable
• How to use AI to elevate your work, not replace it
• The combo effect of human insight + AI support
• How to spot where AI can give you more time for what matters

If you’ve been curious (or even a little skeptical) about how to use AI without losing your authenticity, this one’s going to open up a whole new way of thinking about it.

You’ve seen the promises: “300 posts in a day” or “an entire month of content in 30 minutes.” And yes, AI makes it possible—but here’s the problem: more content doesn’t equal more visibility.

What actually matters is resonance. If your message isn’t landing, no amount of posting will fix it.

In this rant-style episode, I’m sharing why visibility without calibration is just noise, and how to use AI the right way—so it sounds like you and helps you build momentum instead of burnout.

Here’s what I cover:

• Why “more” isn’t the answer to your visibility struggles
• The biggest lie the online space keeps feeding entrepreneurs
• How AI is a mirror, not a magic wand
• What calibration really means (and why it changes everything)
• My own story of feeling like an imposter at a tech event—and the clarity that shifted everything
