ОТНОСТНО ТОЗИ ЕПИЗОД
We are drowning in advice about AI. Upskill. Adapt. Stay ahead. But underneath all of that noise is a question nobody seems to be asking: what is this actually doing to us?
Psychotherapist Michelle Mah works with high-performing professionals navigating exactly this - and what she's seeing in her practice isn't a skills gap. It's exhaustion, dysregulation, and an identity crisis that the productivity conversation keeps skipping over.
In this episode, we get into AI anxiety, the psychological cost of being asked to change at machine speed, and why the "adapt or fall behind" message might be making things worse - not better.
