I did the AI photoshoot thinking it would be a bit of fun.

But what I didn’t expect was for it to become a massive catalyst into radical integrity – a major mindset upgrade that got me questioning how I show up in my business at an even deeper level!

The pretty pictures were just the beginning.

The real transformation happened when I caught myself wanting to HIDE what I’d done….

Here’s the story:

Instead of dragging myself out of bed at 5am to do hair and make-up in time to catch that golden light, I sat on the balcony in Greece, in my bikini, wet hair in a messy bun, and let AI do the heavy lifting while sipping my post-yoga morning coffee. ☕

And the final images are gasp-worthy gorgeous (I’ve shared below 👇)

Doing the AI shoot was really fun and yep, there was a learning curve which included six-toed feet, spare hands, and – embarrassingly – having to tell the AI that my boobs are not that big 🙈

There was also that moment where I described myself as ‘they’ instead of ‘she’ and ended up with AI twins! 🤣

Interestingly, I only got those weird alien-eyes looking pics when I used images from professional shoots. But when I gave the AI a bunch of my favorite selfies to work with, the images suddenly looked like me!

But THIS is where things got REALLY interesting…

At first, I wasn’t even planning to create AI images. But I got access to a course through a program I’m part of and thought, “Ok, I’ll do it for fun.”

When I saw the images, I thought, “Hmmmm…. MAYBE I can quietly slide a few into my marketing and no one will notice…?” 🤫

Until I realised “Hang on a minute! WHY am I trying to hide this? What’s actually going on here?”

And THAT question led to a massive breakthrough where things became crystal clear and I up-leveled in a way I never expected!

See, I’d been telling myself I wanted to be genuine.

But as I dug deeper, I realised that was just an excuse I was hiding behind.

What was really going on was FEAR. Fear of judgement. Fear of what people might think.

Because here’s the honest truth:

Generating & using these images, which totally look like me (a fact that still blows my mind…), in places where I actually spend my time – but created in a way that allows me to fully ENJOY that lifestyle…

… is so much MORE in alignment and integrity with who I am and my values than getting up at the crack of dawn to get my hair & makeup done, then awkwardly posing in impressive-looking locations.

(I mean, renting a beachside Airbnb is one thing, but we’ve all seen the shots where people hired a private jet or a mansion complete with luxury cars for the day … 🙄)

These images reflect my actual life: me, chilling out in Greece, doing my thing.

… but without wheeling my ‘influencer sword’ (aka selfie stick) everywhere I go, or constantly harassing poor Martin to “take one more shot” – or generally feeling like a complete dick as I’m working my angles while other people are trying to enjoy their breakfast.

These images REPRESENT me and who I really am at a whole new level – because it’s not just about how they look – but about the way they were created – and my reasons for that.

I’m honouring doing what feels easy, comfortable and most aligned for ME – instead of sacrificing my precious Greek peace for the sake of “creating content” – then pretending I enjoyed even a minute of it.

This is why I’m calling it Radical Integrity.

It’s about having the balls to be honest with yourself as to who you are & how you want to show up (including whether you prefer to delegate your photoshoots to an AI twin, or you honestly do love getting all glammed up to do the full hair, make-up & wardrobe thing)

But this is about more than just a photoshoot.

How often we do this crap to ourselves in business?

Doing things in ways we feel we’re supposed to – instead of being honest about what actually feels good to us.

Not allowing ourselves to do what feels easy and supports – rather than encroaches on – the life we want to create.

And how often do we hide behind great sounding lies like “But a real life photoshoot is being more authentic” (in my case… so flipping NOT!)

The ways in which we play small, hold ourselves back, and flat out LIE to ourselves to avoid facing our fears and limiting beliefs never ceases to amaze me.

That’s why this growth journey never ends – ESPECIALLY when you value alignment above all else.

There’s always another layer.

And often, they hide in plain sight, just waiting for us to be willing to see them.

Creating and marketing in a way that honours and supports the lifestyle you truly want?

That’s not just smart business.

That’s next-level alignment!

Getting clear on what your version of aligned business looks like – the kind where you stop forcing yourself into boxes that don’t fit – and start building something that actually supports the life YOU want to live – that’s what we do in the Freedom & Ease Business Academy.

I recently created a beautiful ‘get it done in just 2 hours’ process for our members that combines the magic of Hypnosis with the power of AI.

It’s called the Freedom Funnel Fast Track.

FFFT IS a process that helps you get clear on what you truly want from your business, then helps you cut through the noise of offers, freebies and marketing methods to help you map out your Aligned Funnel Blueprint.

No more pretending, no more confusion, no more forcing or feeling like a fraud in your own life.

Let me know which is your favourite below – and Hit reply and be honest… if I hadn’t told you, would you ever know they’re not real?

Big love,

PPS: I still happily show up make-up free with salty hair for my Academy members …. cause that’s like the difference between going out to a nice restaurant (where pants are expected) vs hanging out with your besties for a Friday night drink & debrief
