I saw a post on LinkedIn recently that really stayed with me.
The person shared a list of things they refuse to use AI for:
• Replacing staff
• Auto-running ads
• Writing books for them
• Auto-posting on social media
• AI talking heads pretending to be them
• Legal and accounting decision making
• Email auto-responses replacing real communication
And honestly… it made me emotional in a way I didn’t expect.
Not because they were anti-AI.
Not because they were resisting technology.
But because I could feel something deeper underneath it:
a genuine care for people.
A desire to protect humanity while the world changes so quickly around us.
That matters to me a lot.
A few years ago, I quietly stepped away from business consulting and moved into virtual assisting full time. From the outside, it probably looked like I was shrinking my career. But in reality, I was trying to create a life my brain could actually sustain.
I have some neurological challenges, and constantly operating at a high strategic level all day every day eventually became too much for me. Even though clients liked me and I got good results overall, internally I was exhausted from always trying to perform, solve, fix, and think at full speed.
Becoming a virtual assistant softened my life in the best possible way.
Instead of constantly climbing mountains, I became someone walking beside people with a notebook in hand helping carry things. Emails. Projects. Follow-through. Marketing support. The little things that quietly keep businesses moving forward.
And strangely enough… that simpler role helped me heal.
Over the last few years, my brain has gotten stronger. My quality of life improved. I became calmer. Happier. More grounded. And now the strategy side of me is naturally returning too, but this time in a healthier and more balanced way.
That’s probably why conversations around AI hit me so deeply.
I don’t think the goal is to remove humanity from work and life. I think the goal is to support humanity better. To give people tools that help them breathe easier, create more, dream bigger, and maybe finally feel capable of climbing mountains that once felt impossible.
AI can help businesses blossom.
It can help overwhelmed people stay afloat.
It can help creatives create more freely.
It can help minds like mine keep going.
But I hope we continue building a future where technology still leaves room for warmth, personality, thoughtfulness, creativity, and real human connection too.
Because those things matter.
They always will.
