Running a business, raising a family, and trying to stay sane in between? Welcome to my world. I’m a Wife, CEO, MOM, and a woman who wears more hats than I can count—and honestly, I’d be drowning without one secret weapon:
Artificial Intelligence.
But not in a sci-fi, robot-assistant kind of way. I’m talking about real, everyday tools that help me get things done, make smarter decisions, and free up mental space for what really matters.
Here’s how I use AI to help me manage both my life and my business.
1. Content Creation That Saves My Sanity
Between writing blog posts, emails, captions, and proposal narratives—I’d need a full-time content team to keep up. But AI helps me draft everything from scratch or polish rough ideas into powerful messaging.
My go-to tools:
- ChatGPT – for outlines, blog drafts, capability statements, and podcast scripts
- CapCut – for faceless video editing and auto-captions
- Perplexity – for real-time, source-backed insights and fast research
- Canva – for designing proposal graphics, checklists, social media posts, and brand visuals with ease
Whether it’s helping me batch content or brainstorm SEO keywords, AI gives me back hours of creative energy.
2. My Personal Research Assistant (That Never Sleeps)
I don’t have time to sift through 50 tabs when I’m trying to read RFPs, analyze past awards, or prep for a proposal. AI tools quickly summarize long documents, extract key points, and help me decide what’s worth pursuing.
How I use it:
- Reviewing solicitations and scope of work
- Simplifying FAR clauses or compliance language
- Finding industry-specific past performance benchmarks
It’s like having a 24/7 intern who doesn’t need reminders or PTO.
3. Smarter Project Management with Trello + AI
I use Trello to keep track of everything—content calendars, proposal deadlines, and bid follow-ups. AI helps me build out checklists, estimate timelines, and even draft client communication for each card.
It’s how I keep the chaos organized without manually rewriting everything over and over.
4. AI for Mom Life, Too
Real talk: AI helps me mom smarter.
From generating allergy-friendly meal ideas (egg- and dairy-free) to coming up with toddler-friendly snack plans or activity ideas, it’s become my “second brain” when I just don’t have the capacity to think through another plan.
And yes, I’ve absolutely used AI to build grocery lists that align with my toddler’s food sensitivities.
5. Decision Support for Business Moves
Should I respond to this proposal?
Is this subcontractor a good fit?
What’s the competitive advantage for this NAICS code?
AI doesn’t replace my judgment—but it gives me fast, data-backed summaries and analysis so I can move forward strategically.
6. Brainstorming When I’m Burnt Out
Some days, I’m the visionary.
Other days? I’m tired, behind, and trying to remember what day it is.
AI helps me brainstorm:
- Business names and taglines
- Proposal themes or differentiators
- Lead magnet titles
- Email subject lines and CTAs
When my brain is buffering, AI keeps the momentum flowing.
Final Thought: It’s Not About Replacing You—It’s About Empowering You
AI won’t do the heart work of your business.
It won’t speak life into your family or pray over your next move.
But it can simplify, automate, and accelerate what matters.
I use AI to reduce friction and increase flow—so I can focus on building legacy, not just staying afloat.
