In this episode, we’re diving into the world of AI—and how it can actually help you mom smarter, not harder. Katelynn shares the many ways she uses ChatGPT in her everyday life (from meal planning to mental health support), and Annie finally accepts the challenge to give it a try. Whether you’re tech-curious or just desperate for a little help with your to-do list, this one’s packed with real-life examples, practical prompts, and a peek at how AI can lighten the mental load so you can focus on what matters most.
From writing thank-you notes and chore charts to scripting tough convos and brainstorming dinner, we’re breaking down how ChatGPT can become your new secret weapon in the battle for balance.
