Descripción

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.

Trust, Healing & Visibility in Midlife | Kimberly Petschen | Minneapolis Speaker Spotlight

Feeling like you followed all the “right” steps—school, career, responsibilities—yet still ended up silenced, depleted, or wondering who you really are? In this special Speaker Edition of Women Getting Visible, Christina Vidovich and Amy Noobson sit down with Minneapolis native and RV‑traveling soul seeker Kimberly Petschen to talk about trust wounds, generational patterns, and the courageous journey of reclaiming your voice and visibility in midlife.Kimberly shares how decades in corporate, deep loss, and a powerful inner calling led her to buy an RV, hit the road alone, and rebuild her life from the inside out. She opens up about healing inherited wounds, breaking old scripts about what a “good woman” is supposed to do, and learning to trust herself after betrayal, abandonment, and feeling like she never fully fit the path laid out for her.This conversation is for women who feel like there’s “more” inside them—leaders, professionals, mothers, single women, and midlife soul‑searchers who are ready to stop abandoning themselves, step out of obedience and performance, and choose a life aligned with their heart, not just their head. You’ll hear how one woman’s journey in an RV becomes a powerful metaphor for courage, clarity, confidence, and feminine leadership.Join us in Minneapolis, June 2–4, 2026, for the Women Getting Visible Show & Conference to experience Kimberly and other incredible speakers live in the room, connect with like‑minded women, and step into your next level of visibility, healing, and self‑trust.Learn more and reserve your spot: https://womengettingvisible.com
