Are you talking to Claude, too?
Have you ever been among a group of women, and you were all describing an amazing new asset that you all have in common? Or in your younger years, realized that you and one of your friends may have been dating the same guy? Awkward. Well, this is the first time in life, you’ll probably wish you were in fact at least all talking to Claude!
Let’s be real, in 2026 our lives as women and especially as mothers have changed drastically from the roles women once played in the 1960s era as the homemaker, following the gender “norms” and days that were led solely by chores and housework. Community is much more spread out, and depending on what has brought you to the state, extended family may be miles and miles away.
We now work to fit multiple days into one day sometimes, and there are many blurred lines around gender roles – really what is that? It’s just about getting the task done! The mental load of motherhood itself has changed, and we wear many more hats then many would have ever thought we would.
Which is exactly why we as women, mothers, business women. . . should all be talking to CLAUDE!
Okay, let’s get into it.
I was juggling a full-time job leading a team of almost 45 people (multiple departments), I have kids, their agendas, a home, a non-profit, and other endeavors and goals for myself that are still in the work, JUST AS YOU DO TOO! I, like everyone else, only have 24 hours in a day. So I had to figure out how to maximize it all.
I tried notebooks – which worked okay, and the ultimate to do list – that was fine, but still I was finding everything wasn’t getting done or things were going undone.
So as we mentioned it is 2026, we are in the year of AI. Just as we considered what type of person we wanted to date, you should be thinking about which AI is best for you and your lifestyle. Yes, I said it! It’s time to let AI help you become CEO of your life!
I was a little hesitant at first and almost didn’t even try, but I gave in and started “dating” around. First with ChatGPT, then I realized I had Copilot through Teams with work, and even talked to Notebook LM a little as well. All of them supported me in a way that I needed, but it took time to find what was best for me.
This is a staple on the go – aka GROCERY STORE RUN
If I am en route to the store, I type into Gemini, “Hey, make me a grocery list at X store, my budget is $125 and I want to make 3 meals, plus lunch and snack options, and add on household staples and snacks for the kids”
Instantly, grocery lists and thinking are done! Copy paste to my notes app and I am in and out of the store, plus within the budget. One less thing off the list!
Have a report due? Want to pulse check tone and create a track record of consistency within those reports weekly and quarterly? This is your AI!
Type your report into copilot – give the prompt “Rephrase in a professional tone, for a weekly update, add in a level of excitement, and capture milestones to goals”
Before you know it, your weekly reports are the star of the show, plus you have examples and a track record of your work progress!
But, if you’re really looking to take control of your life, and no notebook or app has worked for you before this is where Claude comes in. You begin chatting with Claude and explain your personal goals, the time you have within the day to commit to those goals, task and chores you want to get accomplished and Claude can create a dashboard – more like a command center for your life.
Things like – daily habit tracker – summer reading list and progress to goals – monitor items in your fridge you are running low on – track progress on major projects in your life – create presentations in a matter of minutes!
If you have been unsure about stepping in to the world of AI, this is your sign to do so. Set time aside this week for a “date night” with Claude and talk to “him” about how you can become the CEO of your life!
