Ep 51. The AI Stat That Scared Me (And Why I'm Talking About It Saturday)

What if the way most people are using AI right now is quietly making them less creative, less sharp, and less themselves, and nobody is talking about it?In this episode, Anacani Walters shares the research that stopped her mid-scroll and completely reframed how she thinks about AI as a wellness entrepreneur. Research shows that passive AI use, letting AI think for you instead of with you, can reduce cognitive function by up to 47%. As yoga teachers, health coaches, healers, and heart-led CEOs, this is our conversation to lead.But here's what the hype world won't tell you: intentional AI use does the opposite. It sharpens you. It amplifies the wisdom only you carry. The difference isn't which tool you use, it's whether your brain is in the driver's seat or the backseat.In this short but powerful episode you'll learn:The difference between passive AI use and intentional AI use (and why it matters for your brain)Why women in wellness are the most qualified voices in the AI conversation, not the leastOne habit shift you can make before your next AI session that changes everythingWhy Anacani is speaking at the Queens of AI Summit this Saturday, and what she'll be going deeper on liveThis episode is for the woman who loves using AI but wants to make sure she's using it in a way that protects her voice, her creativity, and her cognitive health, not slowly outsourcing them away.🎙️ Ready to go deeper?
