Transcript

[00:00:00] Welcome to the Amplify Authentically bonus series where we streamline with soul and amplify in alignment with your core values. Here I guide you to navigate the digital noise with mindfulness, not through hustle or chasing trends, but with intention where strategy meets spirituality, so you can build a business that supports your purpose and honors your inner alignment.

[00:00:26] I'm your host, Shilpa, your Streamlined with Systems gal here to share AI tips, tools and techniques to help you manifest the most authentic version of you. So let's dive in.

[00:00:40] lost in busy work decision fatigue, overwhelmed with so many choice points, or trying to do all of it alone as a solopreneur. But when you treat AI like a sacred container, a co-creative partner, you begin channeling that energy with intention. You're not bypassing your purpose. You're bypassing the [00:01:00] parts that drain you. 

[00:01:01] Last time we paused, we unveiled what no longer fits and used AI to reflect what matters most

[00:01:09] now that clarity becomes your compass.

[00:01:12] A pause that doesn't end in stillness, but invites you to start crafting with intention.

[00:01:18] The kind of pause that helps you design with clarity and channel your energy into what actually supports who you are becoming.

[00:01:27] If you've ever felt your work, your systems, or even your story deserves a new direction, one that actually aligns you, then today's micro pivot is for you.

[00:01:39] In this episode, we'll explore three areas.

[00:01:42] Number one, a grounded mindset shift to help you reclaim your lived experience as useful material.

[00:01:49] Number two, a gentle reframe on designing energy aware systems. Not to necessarily scale fast, but to re-channel your energy.

[00:01:58] And number [00:02:00] three, one simple way AI can support you in clarifying what you're crafting next.

[00:02:05] So let's begin. Not with pressure, but with purpose.

[00:02:09] In last week's episode, we talked about unveiling, getting honest about what's no longer aligned, and letting your why rise to the surface, but unveiling without direction that can leave you spinning. That's where craft comes in.

[00:02:25] Crafting is about taking action, but not just any action.

[00:02:30] when we say crafting here, we're talking about intentionally designing something that supports your next, that chapter or your next pivot, whether it's your message, a mindful plan, or the way you show up in your brand.

[00:02:44] It is about alignment, not aesthetics, clarity, not hustle.

[00:02:49] Crafting to me is an energetic practice, a soul led ritual.

[00:02:54] It's choosing moment by moment to co-create instead of control.

[00:02:58] So your [00:03:00] first takeaway or shift is about your mindset.

[00:03:05] You're not chasing productivity, you're crafting presence.

[00:03:09] This isn't about doing more, it's about being more present with what matters and creating from that point. Here's where clarity and calm become your co-designers, guiding your systems, your structures, even your ai.

[00:03:23] You've heard me say this before, energy is like water. It flows naturally, but without structure, it can't scatter or flood. That's why I believe crafting your pivot requires more than inspiration. It requires containers, soulful systems, gentle frameworks, whether it's a morning ritual, a sacred journaling practice, or even a digital workflow that protects your focus.

[00:03:48] Crafting needs rhythm, it needs intention. 

[00:03:53] It's amplified action supported by systems that honor your energy and shaped by your [00:04:00] clarity, not by comparison. And here's a powerful reframe. Action brings clarity. That's where AI. Use with intention becomes a sacred tool. Not to decide for you, but to help you unravel your thoughts, spot your patterns, and begin shaping next steps with purpose

[00:04:21] as solopreneurs wearing so many hats, it's easy for that energy to get scattered. When you treat AI like a sacred container, a co-creative partner should begin channeling that energy with more intention. Your innate skills and lived experiences, they don't get replaced, they get amplified, and that's what propels your purpose forward with clarity, ease, and soul.

[00:04:45] When AI becomes your co-creative partner, you're not outsourcing your brilliance, you're organizing your insight, capturing your creative spark, and streamlining your next evolution. 

[00:04:57] Crafting isn't about perfection, [00:05:00] it's about presence.

[00:05:01] In fact, research shows that when we move from passive learning to. Intentional learning or move from consuming to co-creating, especially with tools that reflect our voice and values, we gain clarity faster.

[00:05:13] That's why crafting with presence and purpose, especially when supported by systems or AI, becomes a path to deeper alignment, not just productivity.

[00:05:24] It's about choosing to co-create. With intention and tools that actually support your flow 

[00:05:29] now let's get real about how it works. 

[00:05:32] You don't always have to start with

[00:05:33] The perfect prompt.

[00:05:35] So here's the second shift. It's about your systems, not the ones built for speed, but the ones designed to help you support your energy. We're talking about rhythm, not rush flow, but not force. And that's where AI, if aligned, can support your creative process. 

[00:05:54] Try this open chat GPT voice mode and say something like, [00:06:00] I'm experimenting with my message. Can you help me brainstorm a few content ideas that reflect a calm, encouraging tone?

[00:06:07] And here's a chat, GPT Pro tip. Say to chat, GPT. Please don't interrupt me before you begin.

[00:06:14] That gives you space to speak your truth fully.

[00:06:17] Let AI become your mirror, not your micromanaging editor. That's what crafting clarity really means.

[00:06:23] So far we've named your first two shifts, crafting from presence and designing systems that support your energy.

[00:06:32] Now let's explore how AI can support this in practice.

[00:06:36] If you're not sure where to find voice mode in chat, GPT, open the chat GPT app on your iPhone.

[00:06:44] Then tap, the headphone. Icon, in the bottom right corner.

[00:06:48] Choose a voice. It'll give you a list of voices to choose from. Then press and hold the microphone button to speak.

[00:06:56] You're now empowered to not just type your [00:07:00] prompts, but you can also collaborate in real time using your voice.

[00:07:03] And here's why that matters. When you speak your thoughts out loud, even to an ai, you activate something called meta cognition. It's a process in your brain that helps you think about your thinking.

[00:07:16] And studies show that kind of self-awareness boosts clarity, confidence. And creative problem solving. So even if it feels imperfect or unpolished, you're not doing it wrong.

[00:07:28] You are literally strengthening your clarity muscle.

[00:07:32] So if you're ready for a light and soulful way to practice that today, then here's your quick win.

[00:07:39] Head to this week's free tool, the craft with clarity Prompt Stack located inside of your journal. This is a light AI practice to help you begin shaping your brand voice and systems.

[00:07:52] so AI isn't magical mind reading tech.

[00:07:55] It's a pattern matching assistant.

[00:07:57] Which means it responds based [00:08:00] on the patterns you provide.

[00:08:02] In other words, it learns from what you show it.

[00:08:04] And just like any creative partner, it needs a little warmup to truly reflect your unique voice and craft based on your authentic approach to writing.

[00:08:15] You can't just say, write my Instagram bio.

[00:08:18] You've got to prime. Your ai, and here's how

[00:08:21] something happens behind the scenes when you use AI

[00:08:25] chat. GPT doesn't just know your authentic voice. But it can reflect what you show it when you say something like,

[00:08:33] you're my co-creator based on my authentic voice, help me rewrite my instagram bio.

[00:08:40] So it reflects clarity, creativity, and calm. Confidence and feels aligned with who I'm becoming, not just who I've been 

[00:08:48] and your final takeaway, your third shift a light, but powerful practice to help AI reflect your voice

[00:08:56] from voice mode to writing samples, you'll learn how to [00:09:00] co-create with chat GPT. Like a soulful strategist, not a passive user.

[00:09:06] This is your practical takeaway, your sole meets system.

[00:09:10] That's the beauty of co-creating with intention. But in order for AI to reflect your voice, it needs something from you first. So that line based on my authentic voice sounds simple, but it carries weight. Let's break down exactly what it means.

[00:09:29] When you say that AI starts pulling from patterns. That line based on my authentic voice. Well, that line needs context.

[00:09:39] So what you need to do is give it the following, a writing sample, for example, a paragraph from your about page or a favorite caption, your desired tone.

[00:09:49] Are you calm, creative, clear? Are you cynical? Are you witty or are you snarky and you need to give it your audience or intention.

[00:09:58] For example, [00:10:00] this is for purpose driven solopreneurs, exploring soulful pivots.

[00:10:04] That's for my ideal client with the intention that is infused in what I just expressed,

[00:10:11] So how does it actually do that?

[00:10:14] Well, even though AI can't intuit your voice on its own, it can mirror patterns once you show it.

[00:10:21] Even the free version of chat, GPT can reflect tone and intention surprisingly well if you set it up clearly.

[00:10:29] Large language models, often you'll hear them referred to as LLMs

[00:10:34] like chat, GPT. Are trained on a vast body of content so they know what voice looks like in context. For example, in the context of a bio or captions or brand copy,

[00:10:47] so let it mirror your growth, not your past.

[00:10:51] You're not skipping the soul work. You're streamlining the systems so that you can stay aligned with your deeper [00:11:00] why. 

[00:11:00] If you would appreciate a guide that helps you define your authentic voice, before even asking AI to reflect it, grab my free bundle, the Amplify Authentically Voice Profile Builder. This is a way to become familiar with your own voice. Before you even touch AI or chat GPT, this toolkit helps you clarify your tone, values, audience, and sample writing so that tools like chat, GPT, can amplify you, not dilute you. You can find it linked right in the show notes.

[00:11:34] This week inside of the Omni Pivot reflective journal, you'll explore three things. Number one. Where your energy feels most aligned. Number two, what systems actually support your flow? And number three, a gentle prompt to begin crafting with AI in your own authentic voice. This is the craft phase where soulful pivots take [00:12:00] shape, not through hustle, but through intentional action.

[00:12:04] Remember, this isn't about getting it all perfect. It's about staying present in the process of crafting who you are becoming.

[00:12:14] Today we've made one soulful shift from unveiling your why to crafting your next chapter with clarity and calm. You now have a fresh perspective on what craft really means, a tangible tool, your AI prompt stack to help you shape your message, and a deeper understanding of how to co-create with AI as your energy aware assistant.

[00:12:38] Next week we elevate. We'll explore how to rise with strategy and authenticity in a world full of noise. Until then, stay aligned, stay intentional, and keep crafting with clarity.

[00:12:51] That's your micro pivot for today. You're not just crafting a personal and professional brand. You are becoming it.
