Episode Overwhelmed to AI‑enabled: How women leaders can use AI to survive & thrive without burning out Cover

Beschreibung

What happens when a woman who’s already running a business, a family, and a self‑care practice suddenly realizes that AI isn’t some futuristic threat but a practical tool to help her survive and thrive in the chaos of 2025 and beyond? In this episode of Women Getting Visible, host Christina Vidovich sits down with L‑Marie, strategic AI business architect, certified AI prompt engineer, AI systems consultant, and founder of Biz Oasis, to talk about how women founders and leaders can use AI ethically, efficiently, and confidently to streamline operations, automate the tedious, and reclaim their time and energy. L‑Marie shares how she moved from 25+ years in telecom and technical systems into AI prompting, agent building, and AI‑cloning, launching her own AI‑enabled services while also hosting the fifth annual “Boss Brunch” in Maryland with the theme “Survive and Thrive” for business owners navigating economic and systemic chaos. She walks through real‑world examples: how she clones her own image and voice, how she builds AI agents that answer calls, book appointments, and handle basic client inquiries (like a law firm that runs her business while she’s back at a federal job), and how simple tools like Canva, Hagen, and 11 Labs can be taught to work like a paid assistant if you learn how to prompt them well. This episode is for you if you’re a woman founder or solopreneur who feels like you’re constantly putting out fires and drowning in admin, if you’re a leader rebuilding your visibility in 2026 and want to leverage AI without losing your humanity, or if you’re curious about where to start with AI but feel intimidated by the jargon and the fear of “replacing” humans. This episode is for you if you’re watching grocery prices soar while your workload climbs, if you’re already familiar with “Chaotic year” energy and need systems that actually calm it, or if you’re ready to upgrade from the free‑tier tools and DIY trial‑and‑error to a clear, intentional AI‑strategy that supports your visibility and impact instead of stealing your focus. Memorable moments – ✨ The moment L‑Marie explains that “AI” has been with us for decades calculators, grocery scanners, touch‑screen ordering and that today’s AI is really “on steroids,” not something entirely new. – ✨ Her story of building a New York‑accented AI agent for a client’s law firm so calls are answered by a voice that feels like her, while the client gracefully returns to federal work and still keeps her business alive. – ✨ The “coffee at Starbucks” analogy: showing how every button we press on a machine is a basic prompt, and connecting that to the prompts she teaches others to craft for tools like Hagen, Canva, and 11 Labs. – ✨ Her “don’t be afraid of the plane” advice: comparing AI fear to fear of flying, and encouraging women to treat AI tools like short test flights try a few, refine, then double down on the ones that actually serve you. – ✨ How she links her book From Chaos to Calm with her AI work, showing that whether you use AI or not, strategic systems and well‑designed customer‑experience frameworks are what actually reduce stress and keep clients happy. 🔗 Connect & learn more Website: https://www.womengettingvisible.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/womengettingvisibleLinkedIn Christina: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christinavidovich/LinkedIn Guest:https://www.linkedin.com/in/lori-wheeler-65732413/ Guest links: http://thebizoasis.net Boss Brunch: https://thebossbrunch.com ✨ Real stories.
