Can AI Help you Show Up for yourself? (Also, AI Tools, AI and Time, and AI at StrikeUp Canada)
Ever feel like the world is running at 2x speed while you’re just trying to keep up? Entrepreneurship is a 24/7 gig, and if you’re not careful, burnout sneaks in before you even realize it.
If AI is about efficiency, can it also help you protect your time, energy, and well-being.
That’s exactly what we explored in this week’s episode of ‘AI Literacy for Entrepreneurs’ with Paige Percival, a health and life coach who specializes in helping high-achievers break the cycle of stress and overwork.
Key takeaways from the episode
✔️AI as a self-care tool: Use AI scheduled tasks for breaks, hydration, movement, and even "exercise snacks".
✔️ Mindset shifts for more energy: How automation = fewer decisions = more clarity and focus.
✔️ Breaking the stress cycle: The subconscious patterns that keep entrepreneurs stuck and how to rewire them.
📌 AI Tools to Try This Week
