Smarter AI, Calmer Marketing: Real Workflows We’re Using Right Now
Hey there! Welcome to the Marketing Duo Podcast—your go-to for smart, actionable strategies and mindset shifts that help ambitious female founders work smarter, not harder. I’m Jen from Jen Vazquez Media and I’m here with my girl Cinthia from Digital Bloom IQ.
We’re talking real-life ways we’ve been using AI (yes, ChatGPT!) to streamline work, protect our energy, and make marketing feel lighter. Everything we share today is something we’ve actually used—in our businesses, with clients and students, and in our day-to-day lives.
How I turned ChatGPT into my “Second Brain” for tasks
Confession: if it’s not happening in the moment, I don’t always remember the details. So I asked ChatGPT: “I’m going on a podcast—list the ways I’ve used you over the last two weeks for business and personal.” Boom—eight clear examples.
My favorite: I created a project called ✅ Tasks. Anytime I think of a to-do, I dictate it, and it adds it to my running list. Each morning I say, “List my tasks with numbers,” then I reorder by priority. I clean it up at night—remove what’s done, move ideas to a separate bucket, and keep it all tidy. I even set an automatic Monday 9:00 AM email reminding me to review. I’ve tried project managers, calendar blocks, and Notes…nothing captured everything. This does.
Weekly planning that actually respects your energy
Cinthia uses an assistant thread to plan her week. She screenshots her calendar and—because it “knows” how she works—it’ll gently say, “Too many calls. Create more spaciousness.” (Can we get an amen?) She also reflects weekly: “Here’s how I spent my hours—summarize and suggest changes.” It’s the outside perspective we all need when we’re in the jar and can’t read the label.
Launch calendars + content that finally flow
I mapped a full launch calendar—programs, events, my digital product shop—then had ChatGPT align monthly content so everything points to the same focus. It’s now a living project called Strategy & Planning where I talk things out, share struggles, and get fresh ideas on demand. Cinthia does the same for launches—AI gets the ball rolling, then we edit. It simplifies the messy middle.

Real life, real support: routines, meals, and weekends
For weekends with her daughter, Cinthia keeps a “3-year-old activities” thread. She’ll ask for games and a simple day plan around meals and naps. It even writes cozy moments like “cuddle time” that shift the mood before the day starts.
On my side, I revived a lighter version of bulk meal prep: choose three freezer-friendly meals every two weeks. ChatGPT helps pick recipes, doubles them correctly (because doubling is not always 1:1!), suggests safe substitutions, and keeps it all easy.
Health support—with common-sense boundaries
We both use AI to research gentle, home-based options—think cough support or supplement timing—alongside doctors, not instead of them. I have RA and Hashimoto’s, so I asked ChatGPT to review my prescriptions and supplements, then propose timing that won’t conflict. Result: more energy and less inflammation in just two weeks. We’re not giving medical advice here—just showing how AI helps us ask better questions and stay organized for our appointments.
Mindset, journaling, and kinder self-talk
Cinthia uses a journaling assistant that is wildly nurturing. It offers breath work, reflective prompts, even “write a poem to your heart” moments that build compassion and patience. AI can help us be more ourselves—crazy, right? I’ve even used it for in-the-moment grounding tools with my family; again, not a replacement for professionals, but absolutely empowering.
Testimonials: shorter, stronger, and actually collected
I had long, beautiful testimonials and needed shorter versions for my site—without losing the client’s voice. ChatGPT distilled them perfectly. Then I admitted I’m awkward asking for testimonials (same?) and had it build a short Google Form with smart questions, plus email prompts to send at the happiest moment in the client journey. Now I’m finally collecting the right words at the right time.
