  • 062 Behind The Scenes of Sarah AI
    Jun 30 2025

    In this episode, I’m sharing my personal journey through burnout and how it led me to create Sarah AI — a digital tool designed to help healthcare professionals use AI while staying true to their voice and values. I open up about the emotional toll of over-preparing, the disconnect I felt when using AI tools that didn’t sound like me, and how I taught AI to work around me, not the other way around. Sarah AI was born out of a need — not just for support, but for something that could genuinely reflect who I am and what I stand for.

    Takeaways

    • This episode isn’t about AI trends or flashy tech tools.
    • It’s a story about burnout and the spiral of over-preparing.
    • I had to teach AI how to fit around me — not the other way round.
    • Even with tools, I still felt stuck and emotionally drained.
    • A lot of AI content felt polished… but lacked authenticity.
    • I found myself editing the soul back in, every time.
    • I’m deeply protective of my voice and my values — and I know you are too.
    • But AI can be a thoughtful extension of you.
    • That’s why I created Sarah AI — so it could become the business coach in your pocket.
    • Because using your voice with confidence shouldn't mean doing it all alone.

  • 061 AI Tools That Are Quietly Transforming Health Businesses
    Jun 23 2025

    Let’s talk about AI—not as something futuristic or overwhelming, but as something quietly transforming how we work right now. In this conversation, I shared how AI tools are already woven into our day-to-day as clinicians and business owners. The truth? You’re not being replaced by AI—you’re being held back if you’re not using it.

    I walked through five of the smartest AI tools I use and recommend, not because they’re trendy, but because they genuinely help lighten the load. From creating slick presentations in minutes to cutting down hours of admin and content editing… these tools are here to help you work smarter, not harder. And as someone who deeply values efficiency, visibility, and freedom—I’m all in.

    Key Takeaways:

    • AI isn’t coming—it’s already here in your workflow (whether you realise it or not).
    • The bigger risk isn’t AI replacing us—it’s ignoring the tools that make our jobs easier.
    • The right AI tools help you grow faster, create more ease, and avoid burnout.
    • Gamma AI helps you create beautifully branded presentations in minutes.
    • Descript makes video and podcast editing ridiculously simple.
    • Heidi AI saves you time on clinical notes and documentation.
    • Surfer SEO boosts your blog visibility and helps you rank on Google (without being an SEO expert).
    • Sarah AI (yes, I made one!) gives you a business strategist in your pocket—personalised, strategic, and tailored to health pros.
    • You don’t need to master them all. Start with ONE tool. Watch what shifts.

  • 060 From AI Skeptic to Superfan - Which AI tool is best?
    Jun 16 2025

    In this episode, I’m sharing the behind-the-scenes story of how AI went from something I resisted... to something I now can’t imagine running my business without.

    I talk candidly about the initial fear, confusion, and frustration I felt when AI tools started flooding the online space — and how it hit me hard (including a big drop in my SEO traffic and income).

    But I also share how things shifted.
    How I stopped seeing AI as a threat… and started using it as a genuine teammate in my business.

    You’ll hear about the different tools I tested — from ChatGPT to Claude to Gemini — and what each one is actually good at (because yes, they all have their quirks).

    And I’ll introduce you to Sarah AI — the custom assistant I created for other healthcare professionals who want to grow their businesses ethically, without spending all day online or learning tech they’ll never use.

    This one’s honest, hopeful, and full of practical takeaways if you’re still figuring out where (or if) AI fits into your world.

    Takeaways:

    • When AI first exploded, it felt like a threat — especially to how I’d built my business through content.
    • I experienced a big drop in SEO traffic and income, and I’ll talk about what that was really like.
    • I initially found AI tools frustrating and overwhelming — but I kept going, and it changed everything.
    • The real turning point was when I stopped seeing AI as a “shortcut” and started treating it like a team member.
    • Different tools do different jobs:
      • ChatGPT is brilliant for planning and internal strategy.
      • Claude writes content that actually sounds like me.
      • Gemini helps me with research and admin-type tasks.
    • I created Sarah AI because none of the tools were quite built for us — health professionals with ethical standards and complex lives.
    • AI isn’t here to replace us. It’s here to support us — especially when we’re tired, stretched, or just don’t want to stare at a blank screen again.
