From Avoidance to Alignment
How AI Mastery transformed my daily life, my work, and my relationship with myself
Before this program, I...
...was managing a team of 13 people, studying Traditional Chinese Medicine, running a tour business, and trying to learn investing — all at once. On paper, doing a lot. In reality, avoiding even more. My evenings ended the same way: CBD and THC to unwind. Not occasional — daily. A head full of open loops (hundreds of unread emails, unfinished systems, conversations I kept postponing) and substances to silence the noise. My yoga practice existed in bursts. I had big ambitions but no reliable daily structure to build toward them. Every week felt reactive. I was constantly running behind on myself.
Thanks to this program I....
...stopped being a passive observer of AI and started building with it. I created a complete Life Planner in Airtable and configured Claude as my personal AI coach inside it. Every day I journal — in Czech, English or Dutch — and Claude reads my recent entries, analyzes my wellness data, and gives me specific, personalized coaching with real patterns and concrete next steps. It knows when I last did yoga, when I haven't been in nature for a week, when my bedtime is drifting. That level of self-awareness changed everything.
"The CBD dependency dissolved not through willpower, but through pattern recognition. The data told me what I needed to know — I didn't need anyone else to tell me to stop."
I built a yoga streak of 10+ consecutive days — something I'd never managed before. I automated my tour business workflows. I built a Project Matrix for all my open tasks so they live on a screen, not in my head. I used AI to prepare for difficult conversations I was dreading. I organized all 46 AI Mastery lessons into a searchable Airtable database. I created systems that now run parts of my life I used to just... avoid.
And now my life is...
...more aligned. I sleep better. I have more energy. I trust myself more. When I face difficult situations — a team member who won't receive feedback, a career decision with no clear answer — I don't spiral. I journal it, get coaching, make a plan, and act.
AI Mastery showed me that these tools aren't just productivity hacks. When you build them with real context and real intention, they become genuine partners in becoming the person you want to be. I'm still early in the journey — but I'm walking more straight now, literally and metaphorically. And that's everything.
