Ever wonder what it’s like to sit in on a real coaching call? In this behind-the-scenes episode, I coach Alyssa Carlene, host of Navigating Motherhood Without Your Mother, through creating a custom AI-powered podcast workflow that saves time without sacrificing her authentic voice.

We talk through:

• Why using AI for scripts makes your podcast sound robotic (and what to do instead)

• How to use your own transcript to train AI so it actually sounds like you

• The “assistant job description” method you can copy for podcasts, blogs, and social posts

• Why your audience craves your voice—and how AI helps you keep it front and center

Even if you don’t have a podcast, these principles apply anywhere you’re creating content or juggling ideas. This call is a peek into the exact process I use with clients to make AI a trusted assistant—not a replacement.

If you’ve ever read a post or listened to a podcast from someone you’ve followed for years and thought, “This doesn’t sound like them anymore,” you’re not imagining it. The shift might be because AI is doing more of the writing than they are. In this episode of AI for Mompreneurs, I’m sharing how to recognize the subtle signs that AI has taken over your content—and how to make sure you keep your unique voice intact.

You’ll learn how to spot common AI “tells” like overused m-dashes, random emojis that don’t fit your personality, and canned phrases that instantly make your copy sound generic. I’ll show you practical ways to rewrite AI-generated text so it feels natural, conversational, and completely you. Whether you’re a busy mom running a side business, a content creator trying to stand out, or an overwhelmed entrepreneur wanting to save time without losing authenticity, these tips will help you use AI as a powerful tool—not a personality replacement.

Takeaways:

• How to identify AI-written content by spotting overused symbols, formal language, and off-brand words

• The specific phrases AI uses that instantly make writing sound robotic or templated

• Why your personal vocabulary is key for keeping copy authentic and on-brand

• How to run the “coffee test” to make sure your content sounds like you in real life

• Simple strategies for editing AI drafts so they reflect your personality, values, and voice

In this episode of AI for Mompreneurs, host Samantha Welch—homeschooling mom of 3 and values-led entrepreneur—sits down with Emily Collins, a fellow homeschool and unschooling mom of four, to talk about building a business that doesn’t compete with your family life—but flows from it.

If you’re an overwhelmed mom trying to balance your home, kids, and business (and constantly wondering if something’s got to give), this episode is a breath of fresh air. Emily shares how she co-leads a successful coaching and mastermind business while homeschooling her kids, waking up at 4:30 a.m. for peace, and using tools like Notion and ChatGPT to create scalable systems that don’t require her constant oversight.

They also discuss:

• What it really looks like to set boundaries in business as a mom

• How to define and live by your family values (and how that simplifies every decision)

• Why AI tools like ChatGPT aren’t just for tech people—and how Emily uses them to build systems that scale

• What it looks like to balance entrepreneurship and motherhood without burning out

• How Emily’s mastermind business started organically—and sold out twice

Whether you’re just starting out, stuck in survival mode, or trying to grow a business with intention, this episode will help you rethink what’s possible when your business is rooted in your values—not just the latest strategy or trend.

Moms building a business in the margins of nap time, homeschool, or real life
