After decades of therapy, self-help books, and mental health work, I still didn't know what "fun" felt like. Then I asked ChatGPT one honest question about my problems, and the response changed everything.
This isn't about replacing your therapist. It's about using AI as the sherpa your therapist can't be. The one that gives you the action plan, not just the validation.
In this episode, Jason and I break down:
✅ How to prompt AI like a life coach (not a search engine)
✅ Why maintenance ≠ joy (and why that matters)
✅ The permission you've been waiting for to prioritize ease over achievement
✅ How to Marie Kondo your digital life and actually find what brings you peace
If you've been stuck in the loop of "self-care" that feels like work, this one's for you.
