💬 The Prompt I Use to Clean Up My Rambling Episodes
(Copy and paste this into ChatGPT whenever you record a messy brain dump or voice note and want to turn it into a clear, podcast-ready script while keeping your real voice intact.)
👉 "I'm going to share with you the rough draft of a podcast transcript where I just rambled and I want you to take it and without rephrasing or rewording or removing any of my ideas help me clean it up a little bit to where it can be a podcast episode that flows better. But it is super important that you leave all the details and all the ideas intact so that it is my original content."
This is the prompt Samantha used to turn her rough recording for this episode into what you’re hearing today!

Samantha joins Only Love Today to talk about using AI like a wise assistant—so moms can reduce mental load without outsourcing their soul. They cover practical home + business use cases, clear boundaries for kids and AI, and how to keep Scripture and discernment central.
Takeaways
A simple boundary: If you’d hire it out, AI can help. If not, don’t hand it to AI.
Two mom wins: meal planning (recipes + grocery list) and turning a brain dump into a calm Top 3.
For entrepreneurs: record first, then use your transcript to spin out notes, blogs, and posts.
Kids & AI: protect critical thinking, creativity, and spiritual maturity—parent-led use only.
Start small, keep your values first, and shut it off if it adds noise.

Should you use AI to generate your brand photos? In this episode, Samantha explains why AI-made images chip away at trust—and exactly how to use AI as a planning assistant instead (shot lists, mood boards, posing checklists) while showing up with your real life. Authentic photos connect; AI supports the process.
Key Takeaways:
Authentic, original photos typically earn more trust and engagement than AI-generated images.
Keep a “real moments” folder on your phone and repurpose across platforms.
Let AI help with shot ideas, poses, outfits, props, and color planning—not with fabricating locations or faces.
A simple DIY system (window light + self-timer + checklist) beats overproduced, inauthentic visuals.

This episode shares five real-life, non-business ways I used AI this week—canning day recipe scaling, a kid-friendly homeschool upgrade, a simple “spot manipulation” printable, homesteading research for our muscadine club, and cycle-aware workout check-ins. If you’re an overwhelmed mom who wants to simplify life without losing your voice or values, this gives you practical, copy-and-paste ideas you can try today.
Practical Takeaways:
Use AI as a recipe assistant: scale batches accurately and generate a printable canning checklist.
Turn short lessons into kid-friendly handouts with surprising facts and 2-minute demos.
Create a family boundary tool: 3 manipulation red flags + 3 phrases kids can say.
Build confidence for homesteading topics (e.g., muscadines): quick outlines, timing by season/region, hands-on ideas.
Log workout + cycle notes and let AI reflect push/pace/rest suggestions that fit mom life.

I used AI (ChatGPT) to plan a week-long sister trip on a tight budget—here’s exactly how I prompted it, what it did well, where it missed, and how we adjusted in real time. If travel planning overwhelms you, this will show you how AI can remove the heavy research while keeping your voice and preferences front and center.
Takeaways:
Give AI the real constraints: budget, past destinations, driving radius, and your must-haves.
Ask for combined options (e.g., historic + beach + walkable + budget).
Treat AI’s itinerary as a guide—add buffer time for driving, walking, and lingering.
Re-prompt for realism: “Double drive times,” “assume average walking pace,” and “build relaxed blocks.”
Use AI for food ideas, activity filters, and cost estimates—then verify any big-ticket items.

Do you ever feel like you’re chasing one good idea after another... and still spinning your wheels? In this raw, honest episode, I’m opening up about something I struggle with constantly: the pressure to do all the things — in business, at home, in motherhood, and even on that never-ending Pinterest board.
We’re talking about shiny object syndrome — but not just as a distraction, as a symptom of fear. The fear that you’re not enough. That someone else is doing it better. That maybe if you just tweak the funnel or revamp your website again, things will finally click.
But here’s what I think: doing everything is costing you the one thing that matters most — peace.
Inside this episode, I share:
Why I believe shiny object syndrome is rooted in fear — not just distraction
How I’m learning to say no to good things so I can say yes to what truly moves the needle
The guardrails and systems that help me stay focused (especially when willpower runs out)
How my trained AI assistant became a values-based accountability partner — and the one question it helps me ask every time a new idea pops up
If you’ve ever felt scattered or stuck in constant rethinking, this episode will help you reset, realign, and give yourself permission to build slow, intentional momentum.
