Hi there, Where did we leave off? Oh right… the “AI Female Backlash.”We’ll get back to that below… But first I need to tell you about my mom’s bucket list, which is not like the others. She flew into Lisbon last week from Chicago (cleaning products from the MotherShip in tow for her equally cleaning obsessed […]

My mom rallied 9 people across 2 countries. The VC world told me I’m not serious enough.

Hey there, I’m not one for getting in on the Instagram comment train lest I end up upset, nervous system popping, dropping F bombs all before the hour of 7AM. (have gone through a few Olympian medal stages of that in full disclosure.) But today I was not to be played with. All of a sudden I […]

Women are eating each other alive in AI right now

Hi there,​One of my favorite AI writers — Ruben Hassid — dropped a piece this weekend that I can’t stop thinking about. (sorry Vee for my 874 messages, notes, clickup chains this weekend😬) It’s called “You’re just a text file.” The premise: sit with Claude for two hours, answer 100 questions 🫨 🤯 about how you think and […]

He nailed the voice part. Here’s the part he skipped.

Hey there! Last year I finally met my co-founder Wiebke (but you can call her Vee) in person for the first time. Some of you might remember that reunion if you follow me on Instagram… where her first words to me were, “OMG your face isn’t symmetrical!!” 🙃🙃🙃 I am still laughing about that. Vee’s attention to […]

My co-founder almost walked away from our company. Here’s why she didn’t…

HOLA! We are STILL spring breaking over here. In our car Griswold style through the Spanish coastline. Most of us we’re all still speaking to each other. 🎉 ​And we are all getting some history education on our favorite podcast on all things World War II, the history of racism in America, The Congo (I had no […]

What a media trainer told me that I didn’t want to hear

Hi, I’m writing this from the road somewhere in between Cadiz, Spain and Malaga. Three boys packed into the car, snacks everywhere, someone’s foot is veering dangerously close to the other brother’s foot and I booked tonight’s hotel approximately 40 minutes ago from the passenger seat. I can FEEL all my Type A planners writhing […]

“Mom, I’m manifesting this for you.” — my 9-year-old

Hello! Ok so I promise I am not turning these weekly newsletters into Hack-a-thon chronicles…. (yet).. KIDDING.​But I need to tell you some things that have been on my mind since going to this hack-a-thon last week (in case you missed last week’s issue where I only told you 32 times)​​​So the aftermath of that was […]

I almost lost my mind over an orange landing page

Hi there, OK so where did we leave off last time.. That’s right…HACKATHON. For International Women’s Day!And no I will never stop telling people I did this.​Did any of you go in your city?!​Well here we all are.​All 60ish of us in Lisbon and somehow I’m the only person in the photo who can’t contort her […]

You will ALWAYS be “behind” in AI

Hello!​WOW. A LOT has happened since I was last on this blog. Warning: SPICY takes below. Get your mugs of coffee wine in position!​Apparently being on the brink of WWIII perpetrated by a group of the most unhinged, “wtf is a moral” collection of old white dudes isn’t great for a nervous system.​Or a “casual decompress” Instagram […]

I accidentally become a developer.

Hey there,​It’s been a minute. Partly because I thought our school had camps lined up all last week for all 3 boys… and then Sunday night we realized neither of us knew what we were talking about. Welcome to the Beta Parenting household. Though that’s honestly unfair to my husband – as he’s the one […]
