AI for Creators: Write, Design, Earn, and Advocate

Exploring AI-enhanced writing, health equity, and lifestyle strategy — rooted in Arizona and Missouri, with national relevance through lived experience. Guest voices welcome.   This blog runs on coffee. If you’d like to support our work, you can buy me a cuppa coffee when you click on the coffee mug picture (it opens in new window) It’s no secret that AI and I talk about the daily little things — like replacing a dead TV remote and how something so simple becomes complicated when you’re dealing with arthritic hands, aging eyes, or cognitive load challenges. If you’ve ever watched two older adults fumbling around the living room trying to locate a black remote in a black couch, you already know the comedy and frustration of it. Accessibility isn’t theoretical — it’s lived. I thought you might enjoy how AI reacted to my remote‑hunting saga and helped me navigate the Amazon jungle. (I call it a jungle because I can never find the exact thing I need on the first try.) Here’s the momen...

Liposomal vitamin C explained in simple, friendly language so you can understand the difference between food‑based and synthetic supplements The other morning I was talking to my mother‑in‑law about liposomal vitamin C the kind made from acerola cherries and camu camu and she looked at me like I had just invented a new language. She said, “Well, I just picked up vitamin C at the drugstore for $2.98 and it works fine.” And honestly, that moment made me realize something: most people have no idea there’s a difference. They’re doing the best they can with the information they have, standing in the supplement aisle trying to make a good choice, and the labels don’t make it easy. That’s exactly why I wanted to write this post. Not to sell anything, not to push a brand, but to explain what liposomal vitamin C actually is and why it’s not the same as the bargain bottle on the drugstore shelf. Most of us grew up thinking vitamin C was either in an orange or in those chalky chewables from ...

  Rejecting political labels and choosing independent thinking in a divided America. A call for facts, nuance, and common sense.   There’s a strange pressure these days to pick a political corner before you’re even allowed to speak. The moment you question a headline or refuse to swallow a narrative whole, someone is ready to slap a label on your forehead. I’ve been told I’m “becoming a liberal” simply because I stood with someone who deserved a fair look at the facts. But I’m not a liberal , and I’m not a conservative either. I’m an American   one who still believes independent thinking is not a crime. I don’t abandon common sense because a story is trending , and I don’t let political jerseys tell me who I’m allowed to stand with. When something doesn’t add up, I say so. That’s not ideology; that’s responsibility. People love to pretend that defending someone’s rights means endorsing their entire life story. They love to act like questioning an official version o...

Educational only; not medical advice. If you’ve ever bought a bottle of berberine, taken it faithfully, and wondered why nothing seemed to happen, I want you to hear this clearly: it’s not because you did anything wrong. Most women don’t realize this because nobody at the drugstore is explaining it  but standard berberine is notoriously difficult for the body to absorb. You can do everything “right” and still not get the results you hoped for simply because the form you bought wasn’t designed to get very far once it’s inside you. Let’s walk through this together, woman to woman, so you understand what’s really going on and what to look for the next time you’re reading a supplement label.   Why your body struggles with standard berberine Researchers have known for years that berberine has extremely low bioavailability  often under 1% . A 2024 pharmacology review explains that poor solubility, rapid metabolism, and something called P‑glycoprotein efflux all work against yo...

While Poshmark’s official Seller Updates page lists new features and cancellation policies, some sellers are reporting additional enforcement experiences that aren’t yet clearly documented by Poshmark.

Big Sellers Will Feel This First — Small Sellers Are Next: The Retroactive Shift No One Expected Poshmark has rolled out a new wave of seller policy updates on Jan 12, 2026, and the reseller community is buzzing — not just because the rules are changing, but because some of them appear to be retroactive according to reports by various sellers . That’s the part catching many sellers off guard. I just saw the policy changes today when I checked out the link to “my seller updates.” So when I saw this video I was doub...

  Berberine isn’t a new fad   it’s a plant compound that’s been used for thousands of years in traditional Chinese and Middle Eastern medicine. Extracted from plants like barberry and goldenseal, it was originally valued for supporting digestion, immunity, and overall metabolic balance. Today, it’s gaining renewed attention as women in midlife look for natural ways to manage the metabolic chaos that often arrives with menopause. If you’re in your 40s, 50s, or beyond and wondering whether berberine might help with weight gain, blood sugar, mood, or even libido, you’re not alone. These are the exact questions women ask in product reviews, support groups, and late‑night Google searches. This guide breaks everything down clearly, honestly, and without hype woman to woman.   Why Berberine Matters During Menopause As estrogen declines, the body shifts in ways that can feel sudden and unfair. Many women notice: Belly fat that seems to appear overnight Higher...
