How do we co-exist with AI when it’s taking our jobs?

A living question that keeps showing up in conversations, and in my own heart.

Hi dear one.

I’ve been having a lot of conversations lately, around the kitchen table, in voice messages, with friends, and with AI itself. (Yes, that’s now a thing. Talking to AI about AI. What a timeline.)

The topic? This wave we’re all standing in. The AI wave. It’s fast, it’s everywhere, and it’s not going away.

It reminds me of when the internet first arrived. Yes old enough, I was there for it. Some of us saw it as this incredible new frontier. Others weren’t so sure, “just a fad,” they said. But slowly it crept in and rewired everything.

Now it’s happening again. But faster. Way faster and in a much bigger way.

And this time, it’s not just changing how we shop or message each other. It’s reshaping our roles, our work, and our identities.

Millions of jobs will disappear in the next few years. Not in theory, in reality. And the part that stings most isn’t just the income loss. It’s the loss of usefulness. The purpose and the pride.

I’ve been sitting with that. Feeling it in myself. Hearing it in others and feeling the frustration and fear of it. It’s real.

And because my mind always goes to solutions, trying to fix things if I can, I keep asking:
How can I help? How can I serve those who will be hit hardest?

I don’t have all the answers, far from it. Honestly, I don’t think anyone does. I have more questions than ever. About ethics, timelines, consciousness, control. About where this is all heading. But one thing is clear: we can’t turn it off.

So… we respond.

I don’t think fighting it will solve anything. I’m more going towards re-aligning. Like we did when the internet came.

AI is fast. Can be brilliant even. But it lacks something deeply human.

It doesn’t feel.
It doesn’t love.
It doesn’t question itself in the middle of the night, wondering if it’s doing enough or being true.

That’s us. That’s where our power is.

So maybe the path isn’t trying to stay “relevant” in a system that’s shifting under our feet. Maybe the path is remembering we were never here to be efficient robots anyway.

We’re here to create.
To connect.
To lead and help others through fear.
To build new bridges.
To ask questions no one’s asked yet.
To listen in a way a machine never can.

What could this look like?

• Helping people emotionally transition into the AI age, holding space for real grief and uncertainty.

• Creating communities where people feel seen and needed again.

• Teaching others how to work with AI in soulful, useful, liberating ways.

• Making room for new types of income, new ways to share our medicine with the world.

• Getting curious, not crushed.

We’re in the age of reinvention. And that includes how we define “value,” “success,” and “purpose.”

So here I am. United in spirit with others asking the same hard questions. Im feeling the frustration, the justifiable fear that some have about it going forward, the excitement in some areas of what it can do and oh dear oh dear so many questions we all have that is unclear.
Committed to showing up in the middle of the unknown and offering what I can, presence, creativity, hopefully some clarity and compassion.

Let’s not try to outsmart AI.
Let’s out human it.

Until next time, stay grateful and curious.

With love and fire,
Kim
