1 BIG IDEA
Your inner critic doesn’t have to run the show. In this episode, I share how I use ChatGPT as a reframing partner to challenge limiting beliefs, rewrite unhelpful narratives, and lead from a grounded, empowered mindset.

3 WAYS TO APPLY THIS

  • Use the ABC model (Assumptions, Beliefs, Conditioning) to identify where your inner critic got its voice
  • Try my “Battery Check” to assess your emotional leadership capacity before the day begins
  • Start a morning mindset rhythm with AI using prompts that reflect your Core Values and leadership goals

3 QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF

  • What story do I tell myself on hard days?
  • Who originally gave me that narrative—and do I still believe them?
  • What might my Core Values say in response?
