Hey friends, in this video, I’m sharing how I’ve been using AI as a kind of life coach. It’s surprisingly good at asking questions that spark reflection and clarity, especially when I prompt it the right way. I’ll walk you through the exact prompts I use to get deeper insights, how I get the AI to push back (even scathingly), and how I think about AI’s insights. Hope you enjoy xx
