AI Isn’t Cheating: How to Use It to Simplify Your Author Life This week on Authors’ Allies, Rebecca sits down with The Time-Savvy Mom herself — Martha Brown — for a heartfelt and hilarious conversation about using AI to simplify life outside of writing.
As a mom, business coach, and author, Martha helps ambitious women reclaim their time using a blend of AI tools, systems, and mom-tested strategies. In this episode, she and Rebecca talk candidly about the guilt and stigma many authors feel around AI, how to use it ethically, and creative ways to let it handle life’s chaos — from meal planning to chore charts — so you can get back to your words, your business, and your sanity.
They also dive into Martha’s upcoming book, MESS, a raw look at addiction, motherhood, and recovery with grit, grace, and just the right amount of sarcasm.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
How AI can help busy authors with everyday tasks like grocery lists, travel planning, and family schedules.
Why using AI isn’t “cheating” — it’s working smarter, not harder.
- Tips to train your AI tools to sound like you.
How to find balance between authenticity and automation.
A sneak peek at Martha’s Cheers to You community — a supportive space for women blending business, family, and tech with heart.
