AI Usage Policy

I use AI (Claude) as a creative strategist partner, not a ghostwriter. The ideas, the voice, the opinions, and the overly strong feelings about mainstream wellness culture and the mild rage toward the systems underlying the burnout culture of women over 40 are all my own. I use AI to enhance productivity. Every word published here has been read, edited, and decided on by a human — me.
