Dear Gen-X Women:

Have you dipped your toe in the AI pond yet?

I've turned into an evangelist when it comes to AI and my fellow GenX women.

When I was just a young girl, I got married and became a mother relatively quickly. I dreamed of making towers out of popsicle sticks, building pillow forts, helping tiny hands learn to make homemade pretzels, and taking trips to the zoo with my kids. At 30, I felt virtuous for becoming a SAHM.🤦‍♀️

Looking back, I don't think that trading a career for motherhood and full-time parenthood was a good idea.

I've actually never set this thought out in the world before.

I traded a 401(k) retirement plan, a solid chunk of retirement income from Social Security, and exercising my brain regularly to gain financial independence.

That last one still stings even after having started Curio three and a half years ago.

Being a SAHM isn't all Mary Poppins and teaching opportunities.

It's also a tremendous shift in the power dynamic within the parents' relationship. Unfortunately, as much as I tried to believe it wasn't true at 28, money = power-- in even the most equitable relationships.

I've spent these last few years trying to bridge the gap between what I knew 27 years ago and what I need to know now. That's a huge f#ck*ng gap.

That's why I'm a proponent of SHE IS AI's mission. I don't want any woman to lose the skills the market values like I did. The reality is genuinely frightening, losing agency after 50.
