It’s spooky season, but not just because of Halloween.

In this special solo episode, host Sarah Dooley of AI-Empowered Mom walks through four “scary stories” about AI that are keeping parents up at night, from privacy concerns and job fears to deepfakes and the planet’s energy use.

Sarah unpacks the truth behind each fear, shares practical steps parents can take to stay safe and informed, and reminds listeners why opting out isn’t the answer, because scary stories only have power if we stop them halfway. Tune in for an episode that helps parents feel informed, empowered, and ready to lead their families confidently into the AI age.
