Happy Friday Reader! Our family has a fun tradition at dinner, where we all share the best and worst parts of our day. We call it “roses and thorns.” It’s a special time when we talk, laugh, and connect. This week, when it was my turn, I shared something a little different. I told my family I’ve been super busy finishing my masterclass curriculum for the Future-Ready Woman Cohort 4 in September, and I hardly have time for anything else. On the one hand, it’s much work because each masterclass...

Happy Friday Reader! I returned to LA after a whirlwind four-week work-and-travel trip across Europe, and being back has given me a lot to think about. Living in an AI bubble where everyone is constantly experimenting with new technologies, it's easy to forget that only some people are on the same page. But stepping out of this bubble and speaking to people with different backgrounds reminded me of just how different things are for many women. "Some women outside my tech bubble can't even say...

Happy Friday Reader! Last week, my daughter handed me a handwritten note that took me straight back to my childhood. She showed me a creative project filled with misspelled words and proudly exclaimed, "Look what I made, Mama!" It made me reflect on how different her world is from the one I grew up in. In a world increasingly dominated by AI, is perfect spelling as critical as I once believed? What do you think? As a mom of two daughters, I constantly straddle the line between tradition and...

Happy Friday Reader! Omg, I fell asleep for a second and woke up in the future: OpenAI just announced their new ChatGPT-4o model, and I have good and bad news for you. Which would you like to hear first? Let's start with the good: you can enjoy an extra cocktail each month because you no longer need to pay the $20 fee to be in the "cool" ChatGPT-4 club. Cheers to that! 🍹 The bad news is that now you have to switch into play mode, and you no longer have excuses for telling me that you don't...

Happy Wednesday Reader! Today, I'm back with a bit of surprise. I'm launching my free 5-day email course called "Digital Fluency Bytes." It's a Quickstarter and Self-Assessment tool that will give you your personal Digital Fluency Index. That's why I've been a bit quieter over the past few weeks because I've been diligently working on the course. Next week, I'm launching it, specifically looking for women in my network to be the first to test it. If you're interested in joining this selected...

Happy Friday! This week was a good one, and it's time to celebrate some little milestones as a solopreneur who often struggles with imposter syndrome. Let’s start: today marks the 40th issue of my newsletter! This is a significant milestone for me in transforming from never writing to showing up every week (well, every other week or so 😊). I'm thrilled to announce that I've teamed up with a partner. Together, we're planning a masterclass explicitly tailored for my German audience. This is a...

Happy Friday Reader! This week started off slowly, as I'm still recovering from minor surgery last week. In a traditional job, I'd likely still be on leave. But running your own business tells a different story. With a bit more downtime than usual, I enrolled in a few educational courses that had been on my wishlist: From mastering the 'art of crafting LinkedIn content in under 30 minutes' — yes, I'm always watching the clock — to discovering my 'personal power' at Parlay House (hello,...

Coming back feels bittersweet, returning to our daily routines. During my travels, I found myself in many conversations about my career and my passion for encouraging more women to explore AI. It surprised me how many people are still unfamiliar with technologies like ChatGPT – it's a reminder that there's so much potential for us to grow and learn...
