The Impacts of AI on your Small Business with Gail Fraser ]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode of Chronically Cozy Business Chats, I talked to Gail Fraser, CEO of Work Simple. She is a systems strategist and self-proclaimed Operations Fairy Godmother, helping creative service providers and wedding professionals implement and optimize systems for their business. More recently she has become known as the Anti AI Systems Strategist as she’s integrated her stance on AI generated content into her brand. <br /></p><p>This has become a highly discussed and controversial topic these days, and it is especially important to the chronically ill, disabled and neurodivergent community, since we are disproportionally more affected by its integration into our life. Gail and I talk about the various negative effects of AI, including its impact on the environment, our careers, and even the language we use. While AI has given us a lot of great tools that have made life more accessible, it’s also stolen from and corrupted several systems, threatening to end the world sooner than I think anyone expects. </p><p></p><p><b>Get Cozy With My Guest: </b></p><p>Gail Fraser, CEO of Work Simple is an anti-AI systems expert. She helps creative service providers and wedding professionals implement and optimize systems for their business,  set up their first CRM or switch CRMs, and set up their first project management tools.

She is a systems strategist and self-proclaimed Operations Fairy Godmother, helping creative service providers and wedding professionals implement and optimize systems for their business. More recently she has become known as the Anti AI Systems Strategist as she’s integrated her stance on AI generated content into her brand. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This has become a highly discussed and controversial topic these days, and it is especially important to the chronically ill, disabled and neurodivergent community, since we are disproportionally more affected by its integration into our life. Gail and I talk about the various negative effects of AI, including its impact on the environment, our careers, and even the language we use. While AI has given us a lot of great tools that have made life more accessible, it’s also stolen from and corrupted several systems, threatening to end the world sooner than I think anyone expects. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Get Cozy With My Guest: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gail Fraser, CEO of Work Simple is an anti-AI systems expert.

We peeled back the layers on what it actually looks like to build a business when you’re neurodivergent!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We got real about the absolute exhaustion of trying to navigate traditional workspaces while masking our way through the day, and why so many of us eventually decide to burn it all down and build something for ourselves instead.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Why we  don’t fit well in traditional workspaces &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;The constant pressure to socialize and engage in small talk &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Traditional work environments expect employees to show up at the same level of productivity every day&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Standard office environments are full of sensory triggers and stressors&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;How to adapt your businesses to fit our Audhd &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Move away from strict schedules, time-blocking, or themed days that don&apos;t account for natural fluctuations in your energy or interest. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Shift your mindset to recognize that fluctuating capacity does not equate to a lack of ability.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Accept that your energy levels will shift and build in rest periods accordingly. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Use Analog Systems. If digital alerts create unnecessary mental clutter and stress, try using a physical pen and paper to organize tasks. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Adapt Low Urgency communication methods and asynchronous communication methods like email or text, allowing you to respond when you have the capacity rather than immediately.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Or Create &quot;Low-Interaction&quot; Roles&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Acknowledge that the friction you feel is real and valid. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Get Cozy with Erica Settino&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Erica Settino is an author, artist, activist, and witch whose work is rooted in creative expression, interconnection, and collective liberation.

Chatting about Low Energy Social Media Strategies with Liz Cruz ]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode, I sit down with Liz Cruz to explore sustainable social media strategies for creators navigating chronic illness, neurodivergence and low-energy seasons. We deconstruct the "hustle" culture of content creation, offering a roadmap for building an authentic community without the burnout. Together, we cover actionable approaches to platform management, effective content pillars, and overcoming the mental barriers to showing up online. </p><p></p><p><b>Key Takeaways </b></p><p></p><ul><li>Prioritize content creation that fits your capacity.</li><li>Choose platforms based on your energy and strengths.</li><li>Showcase products, processes, or your space using text overlays and personal stories to connect without needing to be on camera.</li><li>Focus on building community through a clear message rather than chasing perfection.</li><li>Ditch outdated rules and "shiny object syndrome." Create content you genuinely enjoy, and batch-capture B-roll to save time.</li><li>Ignore vanity metrics. Focus on engagement that drives growth, such as shares, saves, and watch time.</li><li>Define a posting schedule that works for you, rather than feeling pressured to meet generic growth targets.</li></ul><p></p><p><b>Get Cozy With Liz Cruz</b></p><p>Liz Cruz is a Social Media Strategist and the founder of Cruz Social Co.

Together, we cover actionable approaches to platform management, effective content pillars, and overcoming the mental barriers to showing up online. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Key Takeaways &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Prioritize content creation that fits your capacity.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Choose platforms based on your energy and strengths.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Showcase products, processes, or your space using text overlays and personal stories to connect without needing to be on camera.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Focus on building community through a clear message rather than chasing perfection.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Ditch outdated rules and &quot;shiny object syndrome.&quot; Create content you genuinely enjoy, and batch-capture B-roll to save time.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Ignore vanity metrics. Focus on engagement that drives growth, such as shares, saves, and watch time.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Define a posting schedule that works for you, rather than feeling pressured to meet generic growth targets.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Get Cozy With Liz Cruz&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Liz Cruz is a Social Media Strategist and the founder of Cruz Social Co.
