I started out my morning by reading an email newsletter that made my blood boil.
Here is the excerpt that made me so upset:
“I have been experimenting more and more with AI at work and at home, and one of my go-to sources for the ethics and tensions at the center of its rapid infiltration of our lives is Kashmir Hill of The New York Times. She’s written about some very intimate relationships people are forming with chatbots and about how much AI might help with the onslaught of decisions that she faces every week as a full-time worker with kids at home. One tool? Letting AI bots decide her outfits.” – Taken from Anna Sale’s Death Sex and Money podcast newsletter on 4/4/2025
The reason this made me so angry was for two reasons:
- People are so lonely they’ve resorted to technology to be their friend.
- Women are giving away their power to AI – and BRAGGING about it.
If you’ve know me even in the slightest, you know how important it is to me to teach people about their inner compass. You, and everyone else, has an internal navigation system to make every single decision for you.
I’m not talking about using your brain and weighing the options.
I’m talking about a deep power that rises up and tells you which choice to make, what friends to have, what situations, jobs, and even where to live.
This navigation system comes from our higher self, our gut feelings, our intuition. It’s the sole tool I use on a daily basis to live my life well and for ME.
It’s given me the trust in decisions to put up the right boundaries, who and what to let go of in life, and even how to run my business.
And guess what? I use this tool every day to pick outfits… and always get compliments.
The Secret to Confidence
You know what the secret is to how I’ve built up my confidence, foundjoy in daily life, and feel empowered to be myself?
The secret is TRUSTING in myself. Trust to know I’m making decisions that are best for me, that I’m walking along my life path, and that my body will warn me if something is amiss.
Trust isn’t just about knowing your intuition. It’s also important to re-connect with your heart, with your inner child, and with your dreams.
I am so passionate about empowering you to make your OWN decisionsand stop giving away your power, that I created the Restore mini-course. It’s 9 days of activities that teach you how to embody the inner confidence and strength that I know you have.
It is the foundation of what I teach all of my clients in the Restoration program.
Following Everyone Else’s Advice
Surely this has happened to you: you asked others for advice and, even though it felt off, you took the action as it was advised. What happened? You immediately regretted it because it was the wrong solution, and it made everything much worse.
I used to do that all the time. I didn’t trust myself to make a good choiceon my own. And then I suffered for it, because I wasn’t doing what was right for ME.
If your life feels chaotic or unstable, this is why. You don’t trust yourself and you are making bad decisions, OR letting others make your decisions for you.
On the flip side, let’s look at a couple examples of my clients using their inner authority to make decisions:
(all names changed for privacy)
#1: Alyssa was debating on going to a party 25+ minutes away. It was with really good friends, and usually she would be excited for it, but this day she felt off. She used one inner authority technique and realized her body was telling her, “No, don’t go.” When she let the party host know, she felt strong and confident in her decision because she trusted what her higher self was telling her.
#2: For months, Jane was agonizing over removing a friend from her social media accounts. She had been friends with him for years, but the relationship had shifted, and it was not positive anymore. I reminded her to use the inner authority technique, and it was obvious that her body was saying, “yes, remove him.” She deleted him, knowing she was in her power, and hasn’t looked back since.
#3: And finally, one more story of my own. Several years ago, I was feeling a bit sick but had promised to run errands for someone. My higher self was screaming for me to stay put, but my brain kept reminding me that I promised to run these errands. I decided to go run the errands, and on my way home, I got into a car accident. That was a great learning lesson to trust those messages.
Restore your Trust
If you’ve lived your life thinking you need someone to tell you what to do, wondering why everything always feels like chaos, and you don’t even know who you are anymore, Restore was made for you.
And if you read that excerpt in the beginning, thinking AI sounds like a great solution, I hope you see now that is the worst thing to do.
By giving away your power to AI, to friends, to your spouse, you will bea shell of a person. Life will continue to feel unstable, chaotic, and like you are swimming upstream.
When you reclaim your life, finding the strength to stand on your own feet, make your own decisions, go for your own dreams…only then will you feel free.
The Restore mini-course is only $11 and each 30-minute activity will be delivered directly to your inbox for 9 days.
To address the part about loneliness from the beginning of the email – If you wish you had better friends that lived locally, send me a message.
Reclaiming your social life, overcoming social anxiety, and helping you build strong, deep connections with friends is part of the Restoration program.
