“AI gave me back time and allowed me to grow professionally without sacrificing motherhood”

For most of my career, I have been someone who moves between strategy, creativity, and operations at the same time. I build brands, manage projects, and lead initiatives, while also organizing dance events and teaching classes in my community. I have always had big ideas and a strong drive to execute them, but the reality was that my time and energy were constantly divided.
I am also a mother.
And that changed everything.
Before AI Mastery, I often felt like I was splitting myself into pieces — trying to grow professionally while also being present for my son. There was this constant tension between ambition and motherhood. I wanted to do both well, but there were only so many hours in a day, and the mental load was heavy.
Before the program, I saw artificial intelligence mostly as an interesting tool. After AI Mastery, it became a fundamental part of how I think, create, and operate.
Over the past six months, AI has completely transformed the way I work.
Today, I use AI as a strategic partner across multiple areas of my life. It supports me in refining ideas, writing communications, organizing complex projects, and making decisions faster. What used to take hours or days now happens in a fraction of the time, but more importantly, with greater clarity and confidence.
AI has changed how I lead and how I manage complexity. Instead of feeling overwhelmed by everything I needed to do, I now break challenges into structured steps, test scenarios quickly, and move forward with more certainty. It has allowed me to operate more strategically rather than constantly reacting to urgency.
But the most emotional shift for me has been personal.
AI gave me back time.
Time to breathe.
 Time to think.
 Time to be more present with my son without feeling that I was sacrificing my professional growth.
As a mother, that is priceless.
It also gave me confidence. I no longer feel limited by what I do not know. I feel resourceful. Capable. Able to figure things out. AI did not replace my thinking — it expanded it.
Beyond productivity, the real transformation was mindset. AI Mastery removed the intimidation around technology and showed me that AI is not about replacing human intelligence, but amplifying it. I now approach challenges with curiosity instead of hesitation.
The most meaningful result is not just efficiency. It is expansion. I operate today with a sense that ideas are more possible, execution is faster, and growth is more accessible — without sacrificing the parts of life that matter most to me.
Graduating from AI Mastery feels less like finishing a course and more like stepping into a new way of living and working. I am deeply grateful for the tools, the perspective, and the empowerment this experience provided, and I am excited to continue building on this foundation in the next chapter of my journey.
