This Wisdom Wednesday's Live was one for the books!

I had the absolute privilege of welcoming Dr. Nneka J. McGee, J.D., Ed.D., an expert in AI and education (and someone I’ve known and admired for years), to join me for an honest conversation about staying relevant in a rapidly changing tech landscape.

In the clip below (1:26), Dr. McGee breaks down why pivoting isn’t optional anymore and how embracing AI can actually future-proof our careers rather than threaten them. The full long-form discussion is available on my YouTube profile.

As many of you know, I’ve been leaning deeper into AI professionally—recently earning two AI certifications—and Wednesdays have become my dedicated space to talk about AI, prompting, and practical ways technology can support us...NOT replace us.

I’m grateful that Dr. McGee took the time to share her wisdom with my community. She brought clarity, humor, and a grounded perspective to a topic that can feel intimidating. (Leave it to a friend of 20+ years to make AI feel like a kitchen-table conversation.)

If you’re exploring how to pivot, upskill, or align your work with the future of technology, this is a conversation you’ll want to hear.

Some of y’all are out here keeping plants alive that haven’t given you a single new leaf in two years. Every time you look at them, you sigh. You water them out of obligation—not joy. They’re not thriving. They’re just taking up space and soaking up your time, attention, and utilities.

And it’s not just the plants. Let’s be honest—there are people, habits, and situations doing the same thing. They take and take, and you keep giving because you're afraid of what might happen if you stop. But what about what’s happening while you stay?

Water is sacred. Peace is sacred. Anything that’s draining both needs a serious evaluation.

You don’t need to keep paying the cost for something that isn’t contributing to your growth. Whether it’s a rootbound plant, a one-sided friendship, or a habit that no longer fits your vision—it’s okay to let it go.

Today’s affirmation: “I protect my peace and my resources without guilt.”
