Let’s be real, mompreneur life is a juggling act worthy of a circus. Between managing three kids (yes, three!), a husband who’s always on the go, and multiple businesses that require me to wear every hat in the book, there are days I feel like a one-woman show.


And oh, did I mention that one of those businesses has us traveling across the U.S. with a crew of up to 15 people? It’s like planning a mini family reunion every time we hit the road.


As any mom will tell you, there are only so many hours in a day, and spending them on time-wasting tasks is not exactly my idea of a good time. If I wanted to spend my days stuck in spreadsheets and endless emails, I’d get a 9-to-5, thank you very much! But let’s face it, running a business (or two) means that these tasks are unavoidable... or are they?


Enter AI – my new favorite time-saving secret weapon. Seriously, if I could send it a thank-you card or bake it a batch of cookies, I would.


Here’s a peek into how I’m using AI to reclaim my sanity, one automated task at a time:



Replying to Emails: Craft Professional Email Responses Without the Stress


Emails can be a huge time drain, especially when my natural slang doesn’t always translate well in professional settings. I often know what I want to say but struggle to find the right words to make it sound polished. That’s where ChatGPT and Perplexity come in handy. They help me turn my casual, sometimes confusing expressions into clear, professional replies that make sense to everyone. It’s like having a personal translator who turns my "No worries, mate!" into a more polished "No problem at all," saving me time and helping me communicate effectively.



Social Media: Automating the Juggle


Let’s talk social media. I love connecting with people, but creating and scheduling content? Not so much. With AI-driven platforms like Canva, my social media game is on point without me having to spend hours glued to my phone. Canva helps me create content, schedule posts, analyze engagement, and even suggest design ideas that make my feed look like I actually know what I’m doing. It’s like having a social media manager in my pocket – minus the hefty salary.



Customer Support: How AI Can Help You Handle Inquiries Effortlessly


Running a business means customer inquiries come in at all hours, and while I’d love to personally answer every question, I’m juggling enough as it is! That’s where ChatGPT and Perplexity come to the rescue. With these AI tools, I can quickly draft personalized responses to common questions, ensuring that my customers get the answers they need without spending hours at my computer. Whether it's crafting a friendly reply or troubleshooting a problem, these AI tools help me create clear messages in no time, freeing me up to handle more pressing tasks—like making sure the kids haven't turned the living room into a crayon masterpiece!



Accounting: My Least Favorite Thing Made Easy


Confession time: I’m not great with numbers. When it comes to accounting, my brain does the equivalent of a toddler throwing a tantrum. But AI tools like QuickBooks have been a lifesaver. They track expenses, manage invoices, and can even categorize receipts. I’ve started using ChatGPT to talk out my accounting questions, and guess what? It gives me answers tailored to my specific situation! It’s like having an accountant who knows my life and doesn’t judge me for my lack of math skills.



Scheduling: Keep Your Calendar Under Control


Managing my schedule—plus my husband’s, three kids’, and sometimes a 15-member crew—can feel like a full-time job. There have been more than a few times when I’ve double-booked myself without even realizing it. That's where ChatGPT steps in to help me stay organized. I use it to brainstorm and prioritize my tasks & to create a clear to-do list. By using AI to organize my thoughts, I can keep my calendar under control and avoid scheduling chaos.



Project Management: Staying on Top of Everything


From planning our next tour stop to organizing family trips, keeping track of all the moving parts can feel overwhelming. That's where ChatGPT and Claude come in handy. I use these AI tools to help me brainstorm, outline, and prioritize tasks, breaking down big projects into manageable steps. They make it easier to keep track of what needs to be done and when, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks. With AI's help, I can keep everything organized and running smoothly without the stress of doing it all myself!

How AI is Saving My Sanity in the Everyday Chaos


Look, life as a mompreneur is never going to be perfectly balanced, but with a little help from AI, it’s a whole lot more manageable. So, if you’re a busy mom like me who’s juggling kids, a spouse, multiple businesses, and the occasional existential crisis, do yourself a favor: let AI handle the boring stuff. That way, you can spend more time doing what really matters – like hiding in the pantry eating chocolate while the kids play outside.


AI has become my behind-the-scenes hero, handling the nitty-gritty so I can focus on the big picture – like making memories with my family and actually enjoying this crazy, wonderful life we’ve built. So, here’s to outsourcing, automating, and spending more time on what really matters.


Remember, you don’t have to do it all. Let AI take some of that weight off your shoulders, and maybe, just maybe, you’ll find yourself with a few extra minutes to breathe, relax, and enjoy the ride.
