from Business Not As Usual with Megan Yelaney · host Megan Yelaney

[EXPERT VOICES, UNFILTERED] If you've ever felt like the more you use AI, the more your creativity is slipping away…you're not alone. In this week's episode, I'm joined by the incredible Heather Sager: speaking and sales coach extraordinaire, to talk all things authenticity, creativity, and how AI might secretly be killing your originality. Heather gets real about her journey from corporate powerhouse (teaching audiologists how to speak effectively!) to becoming a personal brand speaking coach—and why embracing her story was the ultimate game changer. We dive deep into why so many entrepreneurs resist defining themselves clearly, how labels aren't always the enemy, and why your authentic voice is your most powerful asset. We also tackle the controversial topic of AI and creativity. Heather shares her hilarious yet eye-opening experience with AI-induced "creative atrophy" and provides tangible advice on reclaiming your voice and sparking fresh ideas, without leaning on chatbots as a creative crutch. In this episode, you'll hear: Heather's honest reflections on taking breaks from social media and rediscovering joy in content creation. The essential mindset shifts to overcome imposter syndrome and confidently embrace your expertise. Practical strategies to protect your creativity and avoid getting stuck in AI-generated sameness. How Heather turned everyday activities into engaging content (hello, kitchen talks!) and why you should too.
