Balancing Leadership and Life: My Go-To Rituals & AI Tools for a Busy Week

By Anacani Walters | Heart-Led CEO Podcast

This episode is a deep breath for the woman who’s holding it all.

From teaching an AI workshop to military spouses, giving a keynote, coordinating events, packing for an international move, and parenting her toddler, Anacani pulls back the curtain on the real CEO life. The overwhelm was real… but so was the alignment.

She shares 3 grounding rituals + 1 AI-powered system that helped her lead, serve, and still stay present in her body.

Whether you're in launch mode, life chaos, or late-night packing mode, this episode offers you clarity, compassion, and the power of automation that aligns.

• The rituals that regulate her nervous system before speaking or selling
• The 1-page CEO system that keeps her focused in chaos
• How AI automations are holding her business while she sleeps
• Why you’re not meant to “do it all” (and what to do instead)
• How to get access to a 2-day AI Sales Team Workshop with Molly Mahoney

• What would it feel like to have a village-tech included?
• Where am I creating chaos because I haven’t asked for help (or automation)?
• What are my daily CEO rituals…and are they actually working for me?

What if your resistance to AI has nothing to do with tech—and everything to do with the stories you’ve been told about it?

In this week’s episode, Anacani shares the hilarious mix-up that landed her at a military entrepreneur workshop instead of her planned Ikigai Lunch & Learn—and the powerful conversations about AI that followed. From entrepreneurs worried about losing clients, to the deeper fear of “not having time to learn,” she unpacks why this moment feels a lot like Kodak refusing to adapt to digital cameras.

You’ll discover:

• Why AI isn’t here to replace you, but to amplify you
• The real reason women resist AI (hint: it’s not the tech)
• How shiny-object syndrome keeps you spinning, and how to avoid it
• A swipe-worthy ChatGPT prompt that turns one paragraph into 3 ready-to-use posts
• Why adapting now is your edge as a heart-led entrepreneur

Anacani reminds you that AI can be warm, intuitive, and even feminine—when used with intention. This is about creating more time, more clarity, and more impact…without burning out.

Takeaways:

• The resistance to AI often stems not from the technology itself, but from preconceived narratives shaped by societal perceptions.
• Understanding AI's role as an amplifying force rather than a replacement can alleviate fears among entrepreneurs.
• Women may resist AI not due to technical limitations, but because of time constraints and perceived complexity.
• Adapting to AI technologies is essential; failing to do so may lead to obsolescence, as demonstrated by Kodak's decline.
