Are You Handing AI Your Life? (EP 109)
Catherine Crestani comes back to talk about what happens when we hand our voice, our relationships, and even our kids over to AI and screens instead of showing up as ourselves. She shares stories from clients, her own writing, and her novel “My Virtual Obsession” to show how easy it is to trade real connection for a safe digital fantasy.
I brought Catherine back for a third round because we both felt something was still unfinished, and it landed in a place I didn’t expect: how much we’re letting AI and tech speak, feel, and even relate for us. We start with her process of trusting zero prep, trusting intuition, and even helping a 77–year–old finally drop a lifetime of jealousy, then swing hard into this strange new world where people let chatbots write texts to their spouse and apps raise their kids.
