64. AI for Content Creators: Breaking Through the Mental Blocks

AI in podcasting isn’t about cutting corners, it’s about cutting stress. And yet, I see so many podcasters feeling guilty about using it, like they’re somehow cheating. Sound familiar? If you’ve ever thought, "Is using AI a shortcut?" or "Is it going to make my content sound boring and robotic?" this one's for you. We’re breaking down the biggest mental blocks around AI, debunking the myths, and giving you the permission slip you need to use AI as a creative tool.

In this episode, we're covering:
✅ Why using AI isn’t “cheating” and how it actually helps you focus on the real work
✅ The dishwasher effect, aka why AI is like a kitchen appliance (and how it saves you time)
✅ How AI can help neurodivergent creators and solopreneurs by removing mental roadblocks thanks to Anna Maria from Misfit Magpie Design
✅ The biggest AI myths in podcasting, debunked (Yes, AI-generated content can still sound like you!)
✅ Why using AI the right way makes podcasting easier, not robotic
✅ The real reason AI is going to separate the podcasters who thrive from the ones who burn out
