How I stayed sane at a plant medicine retreat
Totally off-grid in Costa Rica, then Edinburgh Fringe chaos. AI saved my butt...
Hey, PrideNomad!
Last week I was completely off-grid at a plant medicine retreat in Costa Rica (if you missed the last issue of the newsletter, you’ll want to catch up.).
No phone. No laptop. No business.
Just me, the jungle, and some very intense inner work.
This week? I'm in Edinburgh with my mom, trying to see 57+ different Fringe performances while coordinating logistics with military precision.

Two totally different experiences.
But here's what saved my ass in both situations:
AI systems I set up BEFORE I left.
Not to make money while I slept...
But to handle the boring operational stuff so I could actually be PRESENT.
Email responses. Calendar management. Content scheduling.
All the little tasks that usually pull you back into "work mode" even when you're trying to disconnect.
That's the real power of AI.
Not replacing your brain...
But freeing it up for what actually matters.
Like deep healing work in Costa Rica.
Or quality time with my mom in Scotland (and London next week).
This coming Tuesday and Thursday, I'm getting 12 people who've mastered this balance to share their systems.
How to use AI to handle the busywork...
How to use AI to create the FREEDOM you need to live your best PrideNomad Life.
So you can focus on the stuff that feeds your soul.
August 12 & 14. Two nights. $97 total.
Because the goal isn't to become a productivity robot.
It's to become more human.
Registration closes Tuesday when we go live. Don't be the person asking for the discount link afterward.
If you’re serious about living your best PrideNomad life, be sure to join us next week!

P.S. Between plant medicine and theater logistics, I've barely checked email. But I'm responding to everyone because AI sorted the important stuff from the noise.
P.S.S. If you got the VIP package at the World Playground Summit, you’re already registered for this—it was one of your bonuses!
