| 0:00.0 | Should AI replace your therapist? Well, I've had a lot of conversations about this recently. And certainly the convenience, the cost, and the always availability of chat GBT is alluring |
| 0:23.8 | in those moments when we need a little coaching. But what is the true cost of neglecting |
| 0:32.0 | real human connection? Well, welcome to the commune podcast. My name is Jeff Krasnow. My guest today is my good friend Danielle Leport, author, entrepreneur, and a sage voice on all things spiritual. And today, we're diving into her recent substack essay, AI is not your best life coach, in which she explores the implications of using artificial |
| 0:57.5 | intelligence for life coaching and spiritual guidance. We discuss the growing trend of people relying on |
| 1:05.4 | AI for emotional support, often turning to it out of loneliness, dysregulation, and of course, |
| 1:11.5 | convenience. While AI offers immediate feedback and often validation, she warns that its |

| 1:55.4 | Okay, without further delay, here's my conversation with Danielle Laporte. |
| 2:00.6 | Okay. here's my conversation with Danielle Laporte. |
| 2:22.4 | You wrote a really compelling piece on Substack. I don't know if that was a couple months ago, but it caught my attention maybe about a month ago about the nature of AI and |
| 2:29.6 | life coaching. And I think the title of it was AI is not your best life coach. And, you know, |
| 2:38.1 | it was interesting to me because I had never really put those things initially together. |
| 2:43.7 | And then I did a tiny, even the in tweeneyest bit of research. And I was like, oh my God, |
| 2:50.4 | this is actually more than a small |
| 2:53.8 | trend. I mean, I'll read some of it too, like very quickly. Like in 2025, the global AI |
| 3:01.2 | coaching market is approaching $7.5 billion. And 30 to 35 percent of coaches expect AI to completely replace them or augment |
