MamaJ is out of action. Some sort of summer flu has knocked me off my feet. So I’m doing the necessary and cancelling what I can. Therefore, club news will follow but not today. And tonight’s premium office hours is cancelled. Sending love 🥰

As I head out to New York for a conference on mental wellbeing I’m feeling reflective and grateful 🙏🏻 Grateful to every single person in this community - whether you share or just watch. Grateful that life is full of adventures. Grateful for technology that makes connections across the world possible. Grateful for family and friends always there. Grateful for the work in prisons that started this journey Grateful to the life force that flows through me. I invite you to share what you’re grateful for today.

How's the week going lovely ones. 😻. My friend Simon over in the Raw Course Lab says Posting daily wins massively improves motivation and focus for and others. And that Focussing on wins attracts more wins! So I thought I’d give it a go. As you know I do live to celebrate the little wins. So use this thread to share your wins. Tagging a few people to lead the way! @Sharon J Crabbe @Louise Knighton @Jennifer Rogers @Joy Belonga @Anastasia Dobrovolschi @Wendy Davey

I just discovered something that's changed how I create content and I need to share it 🤯 When I learn something I love to pass it on so that you can benefit too ❤️‍🔥 So, you may know, I’ve been using ChatGPT for a while now and honestly, I’ve loved it. It’s been really useful for loads of things. But I kept finding myself in this cycle of constantly training it about me — telling it my tone, my methodology, how I talk, who I serve. I realised I just hadn’t figured out how to use it properly for what I actually needed. Then I discovered Claude (Anthropic’s AI) through Evelyn Weiss’s brilliant community, and I've spent the weekend going through her classroom modules. I'm sooooo excited to jump in and create 'artefacts' (I didn't even know what they were). But I've behaved myself and gone through the foundational training first. 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗲... First, you have to 'train' the AI tool, so Evelyn's training suggested a briefing document to complete and upload. Basically, a structured way to teach Claude about your business, your methodology, your voice, everything. A great idea but a bit of a pain right, especially when it asks who your target market is, describe your community / platform etc... So I downloaded the template, then used ChatGPT to help me complete it (because it already knows a lot about me from all that training I’d been doing!). I couldn't believe how good it was. A few tweaks, and it was ready to upload as a knowledge document into Claude. And that’s it. That’s the setup. Now everything Claude creates is already aligned with how I think, how I communicate, and what my business is about. No more repeating myself in every conversation. No more editing out the generic AI tone. It just... gets it. 𝗡𝗼𝘄 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗻 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 - 𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘀! "𝗔𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗮𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘀, 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀, 𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁—𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀, 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗯𝘆 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱."

I fell across this old recording of me from Nov 2016 - I was honoured to be invited to speak at the Three Principles School on Salt Spring Island, Vancouver. Not only did I get to 'plan' my session with Jan and Chip Chipman over breakfast one morning at the island's golf course, fresh coffee and green views in the presence of these two amazing OG teachers. I got to sit in the chair and share with a room of 50 or so practitioners from all over the world. A funny thing happened: When I first started speaking, I was so in my head and nervous I didn't sound grounded at all. I could feel it, but I couldn't do anything about it. Five minutes in the audio failed, and they had to change the mic - that interruption (divine intervention :) gave me enough time to settle down, and once I started again, I was totally in the feeling. I cried again today re-watching this. My sharing is so fresh and simple. It had been only 18 months since I'd started the prison work with Beyond Recovery. Forever grateful to have had this opportunity. I hope it speaks to you this weekend. Love MamaJ
