AI is changing everything — the way we work, think, and lead. It can save time, boost creativity, and open new doors. But here’s the other side: it can also drain us, create pressure to keep up, and even weaken our ability to think for ourselves. 

In this episode, I dive into the mental health costs of relying too much on AI. We’ll look at research that shows how overuse can lower critical thinking, reduce memory, and lead to what experts call “cognitive atrophy.” And we’ll talk about what this means for leadership today — because leading well isn’t about keeping up with machines, it’s about staying human. 

You’ll walk away with practical steps to set boundaries, protect your mental health, and model a healthier approach to technology for the people you lead.
