When you use AI to create content, are you letting it speak for you or are you making sure your true voice comes through? Are you just taking what AI gives you, or are you shaping it until it actually sounds like you? In this episode I share how you can use AI as a tool to amplify your authenticity instead of losing it, and why your own words and your customers’ feedback are the real secret to standing out from the generic crowd.
Listen to this new 9-minute episode for practical ways to make AI work for your brand while keeping every word truly yours.

Summary
In this episode, I tackled the thought-provoking question: can we truly be authentic in an AI world? The conversation focused on the challenges and opportunities of using AI in our wedding businesses, especially when it comes to making sure our unique voices still shine through. One concept discussed was the temptation to simply use whatever AI generates on the first try, but I emphasized that real authenticity comes from multiple revisions and ensuring the final content genuinely represents who we are. I shared my own experiences with editing books using AI, pointing out how even if the words start as mine, it often takes several iterations before the finished version sounds like me.
A key theme that emerged was the power of using reviews—specifically, taking customer feedback and allowing AI to identify the language and results that set your business apart. Several points were raised, including the importance of talking about the unique results and experiences we provide, rather than just listing products and services. I highlighted how most businesses in our industry end up sounding the same, and encouraged listeners to leverage the authentic voice of customer reviews to stand out.
The discussion explored practical ways to integrate AI as a helpful tool rather than a substitute for our own expertise. I talked about bringing transcripts from my presentations into AI as raw material, ensuring the content remains rooted in my authentic voice and ideas. Authenticity, I stressed, is about ownership—reading every word before it goes out to make sure it represents you and is something you could stand behind and confidently discuss at any moment.
Ultimately, I want you to use AI as a tool that makes your work more efficient, not generic. Tools like Word and Excel may help us get the job done, but the final responsibility for authenticity and ownership always rests with us. I hope this episode inspires you to embrace AI thoughtfully, always ensuring what you put forward is truly yours.
