Letters To My Future Self

Dear Future Me, on AI & managing fear, faith and fragile knowing.


I am curious, scared and interested in AI in equal measures. I know very little about the topic I’d say, however I like to listen to podcasts and get a little more informed as time passes. Mostly I listen to the Diary of a CEO and their podcasts on AI.

I’ve listened to a couple recently that kind of freaked me out, I guess it is the huge unknown that AI brings and just how insane our world could become.

How are you feeling about AI? What feelings does it bring up for you? How are you embracing it, hiding from it? What is your gut response and reaction?
As always, I’d really love to know where you are at and where you sit with this topic.


I’ll share two of the podcasts that sparked a lot of emotion in me. The first one with Mo Gawdat brought up a lot of fear which I had to go into and check myself on. I had to move through the fear, rather than staying stuck and sitting in a place of fear.

I should note that I actually really love listening to Mo Gawdat, I like how he combines his tech knowledge with a deep sense of faith and spirituality.

The second podcast scared me a little but actually really helped me tap into a lot of faith within me. I hadn't before come across or listened to any of Dr Yampolskiy's work.

It’s the second set of emotions, the faith that I want to share with you in this letter.

I listened to the podcast back in September and wrote the diary entry on Saturday 6th September. It's this diary entry that I am going to share with you.

‘I keep listening to AI podcasts. I listened to a bit of one now all about AI & the huge changes we are going to see in the world. It can feel kind of scary, but you know what, it also just makes me want to live more, meditate more, love on the people I love more and just enjoy and experience life more. What if I was to just focus on giving and loving and being more joyful? How would that make my life look? What would it feel like?

Pretty incredible I think. What I keep coming back to with AI and all the catatonic/catastrophic changes that could happen, is the power of humanity. If we are all caught off guard by these immense technological shifts. I believe in humanity, in believe in our collective good, our collective consciousness and all the ways we will rally together, we will care for one another and will show up for one another. I hold that faith in us, in humanity, deeply!

I also know that I will strive to play that part, I’ll play my tiny part and strive to be the most loving, caring, joyful, appreciative being that I can be. As I write this, it feels like a huge call to action to myself. I will not let fear win over faith. I will strive to show up more fully in all my glorious humanity.

As my baby wriggles around inside me, I will seek to enjoy and appreciate each moment more fully. I’ll love on all the people I love even more and I’ll extend my heart to anyone I encounter - because honestly, if I lived in that way, fully, completely, consciously. No matter what happened or happens in this world, I will live in harmony and bliss.

Isn’t that the essence of Sadhguru's teachings?

(Note: Sadhguru is an Indian Mystic and spiritual leader whose meditation and guidance I have followed consistently since 2023)

As AI rises, so too must our consciousness.

That thought moves me from fear and fright to hope, optimism and excitement. As desire to act.

I choose faith over fear.

I choose love.

I give love.

I receive love

I AM LOVE.'


I'm really curious to know, how do you feel about AI?

Please do let me know.

💛 Emma

Letters To My Future Self

I write for women who are ambitious yet deeply human. Women who have achieved things they’re proud of but know in their hearts that there is more for them, that their story is still being written. They are real, honest, driven but tired of the toxic hustle culture and the male-dominated success narratives that ignore the cycles, seasons, and rites of passage that women move through. Join me and let's design the life of our dreams!
