Artificial intelligence is changing the way we live, work, and even create. But does it enhance human creativity—or threaten to replace it?
In this candid conversation, Erin and Elana unpack their evolving relationship with AI. From early skepticism about its ecological impact and artistic plagiarism to surprising discoveries about how it can sharpen communication and lighten the mental load of running a business, they explore both sides of the debate.
You’ll hear:
Why many creators initially resisted AI and what shifted their perspective
The hidden ways AI can actually teach business owners to give better feedback
The tension between outsourcing creativity and honoring the messy, human process of making art
Concerns about AI replacing the jobs of coaches or therapists—and what can never be replicated
How coaches and leaders can thrive in an AI world by becoming radically present and deeply human
This episode isn’t about hype or fearmongering. It’s about nuance, lived experience, and the deeper questions AI raises about why we create, connect, and grow.
