The Everyday Mom’s Guide to
Using ChatGPT for Real-Life Decisions

Let’s be real—mom life is a lot. Between juggling family, managing a home, and keeping up with the mental load of motherhood, it’s easy to feel like your brain is running on fumes. That’s exactly why I recorded this episode of the Stress Less Podcast. If you’ve ever found yourself thinking, “I just wish someone would tell me what to do,” then this one’s for you.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing how I use ChatGPT in my everyday mom life—not just in business, not in some techy, intimidating way, but in simple, realistic ways that make daily decisions easier. I'm talking meal ideas, skincare routines, DIY planning, medical appointment prep, wardrobe brainstorming, and even parenting support through Human Design. Basically, if your brain feels overloaded and you’re tired of Googling things for 45 minutes only to feel more confused… this episode will feel like a breath of fresh air.

If you’re new to ChatGPT or unsure how to even ask it for help, I walk you through a super easy prompt method called the CRIT Framework (created by AI expert Geoff Woods, shared by Elizabeth Marberry on the Strut It podcast). CRIT stands for Context, Role, Interview, and Task—and it’s a game-changer when you want specific, helpful responses without wasting time. Whether you’re navigating ADHD, decision fatigue, or just need a little backup, this framework gives you permission to stop figuring it all out alone.

And if organizing your home is one of those things that’s been living rent-free in your brain, you’re going to want to download the Decide Guide while you’re here. It’s my free digital resource with over 150 questions to help you declutter with confidence, room by room. Just like ChatGPT helps me think clearly in the moment, the Decide Guide is your shortcut to making organizing decisions without the stress or second-guessing.

So grab your coffee (or reheat it for the third time), pop in your earbuds, and tune into this episode of the Stress Less Podcast. I’ll show you how I’m using ChatGPT to make life easier—not just more efficient, but actually less mentally exhausting.
