AI Coaching for Visionaries
Whether you’re leading a grief mentoring collective, building a queer-centered startup, running an indie arts org, or crafting a super-niche service-based biz, you’re probably AI-curious but soul-weary.
You’ve seen the hype, you’ve felt the fear, and somewhere in the middle, you’ve wondered: “Could this tech actually help me… without making me sound robotic or feel gross?”
That’s where I come in.
