If you're a creative, compassionate woman entrepreneur who thinks deeply about things that matter, you probably know this feeling: when you genuinely care about something and see it with nuance and sensitivity, it feels imperative to share that wisdom with integrity.

You're likely a natural rule breaker because you're a critical thinker. You see connections others miss, ask questions others don't think to ask, and refuse to accept simple answers to complex problems. Your neurodivergent way of processing the world isn't a limitation, it's precisely what helps you develop approaches to sharing ideas that actually make a difference.

And when you want to grow your business by creating digital ways of sharing your wisdom to reach more of the people you're meant to help, that same nuanced thinking becomes essential.

When many people are increasingly relying on AI to do their thinking for them, those of us who insist on thinking for ourselves become more valuable, not less. We're the ones who will help the thinking human world thrive.

They say we're racing towards AI singularity, that theoretical moment when artificial intelligence becomes so advanced it can improve itself faster than humans can keep up. The experts predicted it would take decades. Then they said years. Now someone's saying six months.

Six months! It's June 2025 as I’m writing this, and here I am feeling like we've barely started playing with this technology.

But here's what I find fascinating: this rapid acceleration toward singularity doesn't feel overwhelming to those of us who live with naturally curious minds.

Like Neo in The Matrix feeling that persistent splinter in his mind, we've always sensed when something doesn't quite fit, even when we can't articulate exactly what's wrong … maybe because we've never been the types to accept what we're handed without question.

Our brains don't just consume information, they interrogate it.

The beautifully stubborn mind

Last week, a colleague talked to me about how she’d used ChatGPT to plan her entire course curriculum. Within minutes, she had modules, learning objectives, and assessment strategies all neatly laid out. It seemed impressive at first glance.

But something felt missing.

AI excels at pattern matching and producing responses that feel reasonable. It's brilliant at organisation and synthesis. What it struggles with is the very thing our curious minds do naturally: genuine critical thinking, nuanced questioning, and that slightly rebellious "yes, but..." that leads to breakthrough insights.

A January 2025 study found that people who use AI tools more frequently demonstrate weaker critical thinking abilities, largely due to cognitive offloading, where users rely on AI generated solutions instead of engaging in independent analysis. Another recent study showed that students who relied heavily on AI to answer questions scored lower than those who relied on their memory alone, with researchers noting that "if you replace the learning process with AI, even if you write higher quality stuff... the learning quality is lower."

But here's what strikes me most: this isn't just about learners becoming dependent on AI. It's about us as wisdom sharers, as course creators, losing our own cognitive edge.

When you trust AI to generate your course content without engaging your critical thinking skills, you create what's already known. You rob yourself of the opportunity to discover what matters most to you and your students for your combined deeper purposes. You miss the chance to develop that deep confidence that comes from wrestling with ideas until they become truly yours.

The result? Content that feels generic, predictable, safe. Content that could have been created by anyone, for anyone.

The difference between creating and truly creating

Here's something I've noticed: it's surprisingly easy to learn how to create a traditional course. The internet is full of templates, formulas, and step by step guides. You can have the structure mapped out in an afternoon.

But there's a vast difference between knowing how to create a course and actually making yourself do it. And an even bigger gap between creating something functional and creating something that genuinely transforms people.

The real challenge isn't technical. It's creating something attuned to your deeper purpose, something so engaging that people can't wait to come back for more. Something that doesn't just inform but actually changes how people think and feel and act.

That's where most of us get stuck. Not in the how to, but in the authentic expression of our unique wisdom.

Why community changes everything

Something special happens when we stop trying to figure this out in isolation. When I think about the most breakthrough moments I've witnessed, they've almost always happened in conversation with real people.

There's something about sharing your half-formed ideas with someone who gets it, who reflects back what they're hearing, who asks the question that suddenly makes everything clear. Community doesn't just make course creation more possible, it makes it more enlivening.

I've watched clients struggle for months with a concept in their heads, then light up completely during a single conversation where someone else's experience helps them see their own wisdom from a fresh angle. The energy shift is palpable.

Our teaching superpowers

We neurodivergent, creative, and compassionate women entrepreneurs have a secret weapon when it comes to teaching others.
We become easily obsessed with learning about things that spark our curiosity. Not surface-level interested, completely absorbed. This depth of engagement translates into teaching that goes beyond surface explanations.
Our brains love doing what they do best: seeing patterns, connecting seemingly unrelated dots, thinking laterally, inventing new approaches, playing with ideas, creating unexpected solutions. This natural tendency makes us excellent at helping others see connections they might miss.
We understand that people learn through multiple pathways. A concept might click through a metaphor, a visual representation, a physical sensation, or a story that triggers a memory. We naturally draw from this breadth of experience.

Communicating with imagined sensory input

I was helping a client recently with her website homepage. Instead of the typical header text button layout, she'd chosen a long banner image that required scrolling before you reached any words. It felt unusual, but somehow perfectly right for her brand.

As we looked at it together, I said, "It's like it has its own soundtrack that I just can't hear."

She lit up. That was exactly the feeling she wanted to create, a moment of pause, a visual breath before diving into her message.

This is what happens when our minds work the way they're designed to work. We don't just see the literal elements; we feel the emotional undercurrent, sense the rhythm, imagine the unseen connections. All of these neural pathways feed into how we understand and communicate new ideas.

Your questions are your "knowledge insurance"

Perhaps the most profound shift we can make is recognising that our tendency to complicate things isn't a flaw to fix, it's our greatest professional asset.

When someone presents a simple solution, your instinct to ask "but what about the people who..." or "how does this work when..." isn't pessimism. It's your knowledge insurance policy. It's what ensures that what you create comes from your authentic understanding, not from algorithmic pattern matching.

In The Matrix, there's a scene where a child is bending spoons with their mind. When Neo tries to copy this seemingly impossible feat, the child tells him "there is no spoon" - explaining that the limitation isn't in the spoon itself, but in accepting it has to exist as solid and unchangeable. When we allow ourselves to engage with our own abilities to connect dots and generate fresh ideas, we access something AI simply can't replicate. We're not bound by existing patterns or proven formulas - we can create entirely new approaches that feel authentic to how we naturally think and teach.

Your ability to see the gaps, feel the missing pieces, and imagine different possibilities is exactly what prevents your wisdom sharing from becoming generic content that anyone could have created.

The future belongs to the curious

As AI handles more routine information processing, the humans who thrive will be those who ask better questions, make unexpected connections, and challenge assumptions.

Those skills we've been told make us "difficult" or "overthinking"? They're about to become incredibly valuable.

While AI delivers polished, predictable responses, curious minds will be the ones saying, "That's interesting, but what about this angle?" They'll be connecting ideas across disciplines, finding the nuance that algorithms miss, and creating learning experiences that actually transform people rather than just inform them. Like Neo learning to see the Matrix code instead of the simulation, we're developing the ability to see through AI's artificial constraints to what's actually possible when human creativity leads the way.

Teaching that feels like coming home

What would happen if you stopped apologising for the way your mind works and started designing learning experiences that celebrate it?
What if instead of forcing your wisdom into AI generated frameworks, you created containers that honour how you naturally process and share knowledge?
What if your tendency to go down rabbit holes became an invitation for others to explore their own curiosity?

The future of meaningful learning isn't about delivering information more efficiently. It's about creating experiences that engage our full humanity, our questions, our connections, our creative leaps, and yes, even our beautiful tendency to complicate things.

Because when we maintain our cognitive sovereignty, when we insist on thinking our own thoughts and developing our own insights, we create learning experiences that transform people rather than just inform them. And in a world of artificial intelligence, that's exactly what the world needs more of.

A confession about this very blog

I should admit something: I used AI to help me write this blog.

But here's the thing, it was a drawn- out process of refining the nuance, of clarifying my ideas versus what AI consistently missed. For me, AI is most helpful when I need to identify gaps in my framework or when I want to brainstorm fresh approaches to ideas I already understand deeply. Sometimes it leads to frustration when it misses the point entirely. Sometimes it helps me find clarity by showing me what I don't mean.

The actual writing took hours, even though AI can pump something out in seconds. Because critical thinking is absolutely required to communicate exactly what I believe and think and intend.

That's the difference between using AI as a thinking partner versus a thinking replacement. One preserves your voice and strengthens your ideas. The other dilutes both.

What you can trust about yourself

Your questioning mind isn't a bug, it's a feature. Here are some things to remember and lean into:

Trust that your complications create clarity. When you instinctively want to add nuance or ask follow-up questions, that's your mind protecting both you and your audience from oversimplified solutions that don't work in real life.

Your energy during creation is data. Notice when you feel lit up versus drained while developing content. The topics that make you lose track of time? The explanations that pour out of you effortlessly? That's your wisdom wanting to be shared.

Your "weird" connections are often your gold. That tendency to link seemingly unrelated concepts, to see patterns others miss, to remember random details that suddenly become relevant? These are your teaching superpowers, not distractions.

Some suggestions to expand your natural capacity:

Try this: Record yourself explaining your favourite concept to an imaginary friend while you're walking. Don't script it, just talk. Notice how naturally the ideas flow when you're not trying to fit them into predetermined structures.
Experiment with this: Take one idea you want to teach and explain it in three completely different ways. Through a story, through a metaphor, through a step-by-step process. See which one energises you most.
Remember this: When you feel resistance to creating content "the way everyone else does it," that resistance is often your authentic voice trying to emerge. Instead of pushing through it, get curious about what it's trying to tell you.

You're already a red pill person. While others choose the comfortable blue pill of following proven formulas, you're the one who chooses to create something authentically yours, even when the path is less certain. That's your superpower. Your mind works the way it does for reasons that serve both you and the people you're meant to reach. The question isn't how to change it, but how to design with it.

Finding your way home

There's something beautiful that happens when all the pieces come together. When the way you share your wisdom honours both who you are and how your people love to learn. When talking about your work feels as natural as breathing, and creating it fills you up rather than drains you.

Maybe you've felt that disconnect between what you think you should create and what actually makes your heart sing. Between what looks successful from the outside and what feels aligned on the inside.

That's exactly why I created the "Wisdom Sharing Deep Dive." It's an invitation to explore that sweet spot where everything flows together. Yes, you'll discover your ideal course type, but really, it's about finding an approach that feels like coming home to yourself.

There are five videos, about 45 minutes each, that you can listen to like a podcast if you prefer. Use them as a jumping-off point for reflection you can dive deeper into with the playbook prompts. Get clarity within a week, or do it at your own pace. The possibilities for you will reveal themselves.

Sometimes the most profound shifts happen when we give ourselves permission to explore what we actually want, rather than what we think we should want.

At just $7 AUD, it's a small step into a conversation that might just change how you think about sharing your gifts with the world.
