Mind + Machine: AI for Personal Growth and Development

Welcome to Mind + Machine: AI for Personal Growth and Self-Help, the podcast where we explore how AI tools like ChatGPT can help with self-improvement, personal development, and even act as your personalized life coach. I’m Jenna, a self-proclaimed personal growth nerd who loves building tools that utilize technology to cultivate confidence, which I share on my website ConfidentThroughCode. Each week in Mind + Machine we dive into practical ways you can use AI to tackle challenges like building confidence, managing anxiety, and making meaningful changes in your life. On Mondays, we take a closer look at a standout AI prompt - one that’s proven its ability to generate amazing responses. We’ll explore what makes it effective and share techniques so you can create your own prompts that work for you, enhancing your personal development experience. Then, on Thursdays, we focus on a specific self-help topic, like imposter syndrome, comparison to others, or stress management, and discuss how AI tools like ChatGPT can provide insights and strategies to support you. Whether you’re curious about how to use ChatGPT for personal development, looking for tools to build confidence, motivation and manage stress, or a coach or therapist exploring how AI can help your clients, Mind + Machine is here to guide you.
