AI is everywhere right now, and if you’re an entrepreneur, you’ve probably felt the pressure to either outsource your entire business to it… or avoid it completely. But AI isn’t going anywhere. And if you learn how to use it in integrity, it can actually amplify your business without stealing your voice.
In this episode of Unfilter Yourself, I’m pulling back the curtain on how I personally use AI in my business (and in my life) to save time, streamline, and create more impact; without outsourcing my coaching, my content, or my creativity.
You’ll hear:
If you’ve been curious about AI tools for entrepreneurs but you’re turned off by all the copy-paste content and robotic messaging out there, this episode will help you see a new way forward.
Because building a profitable, sustainable business as a woman entrepreneur isn’t about replacing yourself. It’s about creating more space to do the work only YOU can do. And AI, when used intentionally, can help you do exactly that.

Feeling like your 9-to-5 just turned into a 5-to-9? In this episode of Unfilter Yourself, Josie Smith dives deep into the reality of entrepreneurship burnout and why so many women business owners feel trapped by their own businesses. If you’re working endless hours, juggling client calls, emails, social media, and content creation—but still not seeing the revenue or results you dreamed of—this episode is for you.
Josie breaks down the signs your business is controlling you, the difference between busywork and strategic progress, and actionable steps to regain control. Learn how to prioritize money-making activities, systematize your business with tools like Trello, Asana, Notion, HoneyBook, and Dubsado, and create structures for client onboarding, content planning, and finances. She also shares practical strategies for setting boundaries, delegating tasks, and prioritizing CEO-level thinking so your business works for you—not the other way around.
Whether you’re a coach, service-based entrepreneur, or side-hustler, this episode will give you clarity, confidence, and actionable tools to stop being a slave to your business and start running it with intention.

After a little bit of a hiatus, I'm back! And in this episode, I share my realizations about true authenticity - and not the fabricated "personal branding authenticity" you see online. I dig into the commonly seen one-dimensional brand image, while sharing my journey of embracing contradictions and finding myself in the nuances that define my own humanity.
This is my commitment toward an even wider range of more genuine content delivery, and I'm hopeful that my reflections on my journey allow you to connect with your own depth through your own inconsistencies, so you can dismantle whatever boxes you may have (even unintentionally) put yourself in!
AND!!!!! I also introduce an upcoming second podcast: "The Prophet Princess"!

In this episode, I dive into one of the most important parts of leaving the 9 to 5 grind behind forever: the mindset shift from employee to entrepreneur. It's more than just a new job title. It's a complete rewiring of you think about time, money, work, and success. If you've recently made the leap into full-time entrepreneurship, chances are you've already discovered that running your own business comes with a whole new set of rules.
I share the hard truths, provide actionable advice, and give you personal insight into what it really takes to go from an employee mindset to an entrepreneur mindset. You'll learn how to ditch the need for external validation, embrace risk, and stop working like someone else is checking your time clock.
If you're ready to boss the hell up and make your business your own, this episode is the mindset upgrade you need.

Are you daydreaming about quitting your 9-5, walking out in slow motion after handing in your resignation letter, and never looking back? (I see you!!) In this episode, I dive into the 3 must have signs that you're ready to finally ditch the corporate grind and go all in on your business!
I guide you through the non-negotiables - because leaving a consistent paycheck isn't all about vibes and vision boards. It's about being strategic, smart, and prepared. But don't worry - we'll make it fun along the way! Because what's a major life move without a little sass??
3 Signs You're Ready to Leave your 9-5 Job for Full-Time Entrepreneurship
You have a solid financial foundation.
No, you don't need to be rolling in cash, but a strategic financial runway is going to really help you fill in the gap as you work to build you business to where it needs to be in order to replace your 9-5 salary. You also need to have a plan for how you're going to replace whatever benefits you might be losing when you leave your 9-5 job. Benefits like health insurance, retirement contributions, etc.
Another piece to this financial foundation is that you need to separate your business money from your personal money. This means, at minimum, you have to open at least one business bank account.
Your business is generating revenue.
And not only that, but you have evidence that it can grow. You have evidence that what you are providing is something people want or need, and something they're willing to PAY for. And you need to have an idea of how long it's going to take for your business to replace the income you're losing when you leave your job.
You have a strong support system.
Entrepreneurship can feel lonely AF, so make sure you have a strong support system. A supportive partner can be invaluable. You also need to make sure you have a community of likeminded women who are on a similar journey who you can connect with, as well as mentors or guides who can help you along the way.

In today's episode, I talk about whether or not you can create a business out of your passion. And then I address the question of whether or not you actually should. I provide you with some very important questions you need to consider before diving head-first into building a business out of a passion.
It's not a yes or no, black or white, right or wrong sort of an answer. We address both the business strategy as well as the inner work required to know the best answer for you - for your goals, your personality, and your vision for your life.
Grab a pen and a journal because you're gonna want to take some notes on this one!
