Boost Your Motivation, Productivity, and Emotional Well-being with AI

When our to-do list feels endless or stress takes over, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by our emotions. We might find ourselves spending hours but barely making progress, or procrastinating until the last minute—not because we’re lazy, but because our brains are reacting to the pressure. In this session, we’ll explore science-based practices and how AI can help us better understand and break free from these negative loops. By tuning into what’s really going on inside, we can get more done, feel more motivated, and find a little more happiness along the way.

How hard could it be?
1hr
When was the last time you did something that scared you? When was the last time you felt uncomfortable? I have a 'how hard could it be?' outlook to all of life. I truly believe that you can achieve anything you want, you just have to decide you want it. Then put in the work, and get it. Even when you’ve never done it before. I realized that everything I ever dreamed possible for my life, my lifelong dreams, I had already achieved - all by 30. The degree, the house, the relationship, the multiple-six-figure salary, the travel where I wanted, when I wanted… all of it! And then I walked away. You can do hard things. You can achieve anything you want, change anything you want. What's possible for me is possible for anybody - you have to simply have the mindset, determination, and discipline to make it happen. When your life around you no longer aligns with what you want to do, you need the strength and confidence to light your own fuse, blow it up, and get out of comfortable - complacent - normal... and go write that next chapter. You've done hard things before. Hard could the next one be?
