Hello All, I see so many advantages to using AI as a productivity tool. The results are so compelling that it is easy to imagine giving it access to detailed personal information like bank accounts, IP, etc... to make researching, analyzing and reporting so much faster. However, I am deeply concerned about it using my personal information for teaching AI, and I have many privacy and security concerns regarding my data. It only seems a matter of time before things are hacked, and how do I know these programs aren't dumping my data on the black market. I am asking for guidance and information from the real people here in this chat. What do you do to keep your information secure? Are some programs and/or settings within programs more secure? How do I harness the power of AI without compromising my personal data? What positive or negative experiences have you had? What do you wish you knew when starting out using AI? Thank you in advance for your responses!.

You’re only as happy as your unhappiest child. If you’re a parent, you instantly get it. What surprised me is how often this shows up in business and life too. You can have 90% of things going right…and your mind still locks onto the one thing that feels off. The conversation you’re avoiding. The decision you keep delaying. The loose end you keep telling yourself you’ll deal with “later.” And the tricky part is this…That unresolved piece doesn’t stay contained. It fractures your focus. Clouds your judgment. Quietly drains energy from what is working. Sometimes it even follows you home. Here’s the shift that actually changes things: Find the constraint. Face it. Fix it. Because when your mind isn’t busy avoiding something, it finally has the bandwidth to amplify what’s already going right. So I’m curious…What’s the one thing you’ve been tolerating that’s quietly taxing everything else? Drop it below if you’re open to sharing.

As a millionaire living my best life, I'm giving $20k to the first 20 people who message me “GRACE” I understand that many people are struggling with bills, and I want to help reduce that burden.

Any other caregivers here? This is a big commitment for so many of us and a regular part of our daily lives. Caregiving has run quietly alongside my professional life for most of my adulthood. At age 19 I became a caregiver for my mom while serving in the U.S. Navy, and I carried that role for 28 years alongside full time work, raising a family, and managing long term medical needs across changing stages of care. The mental load has never turned off. I track, plan, anticipate, and make decisions constantly, often without visibility or support. I’m so grateful for the AI tools we have now! I wish they were available back when I REALLY needed them. That experience shapes how I think about everyday cognitive support. I look past productivity hacks and focus on practical ways of reducing friction and mental overhead. My life in a 7 person multigenerational household is complex and emotionally loaded. My household ranges in age from 5 years old to 92 years old. I’m interested in what tools, systems, or approaches other caregivers find genuinely helpful while balancing caregiving with their work and daily responsibilities, even just small things that make life feel more manageable. I’m right here in the trenches with you, Sandwich Generation friends. Hugs.
