Episode 102 Becoming Wildly Resilient Practice: Intellectual Well-Being

Listen as host Amy Rodquist-Kodet, health coach with UK HR Health and Wellness, tells us how we can use artificial intelligence in mindful ways. Amy says, “AI [is] a tool for well-being, not a replacement for human connection or a shortcut to avoid discomfort, but as a powerful partner to help us stay present and focused and even more aligned with our values.”

Key Points:  

• Intentional AI use can support well-being. AI can be a helpful partner in emotional and intellectual wellness when used with purpose to help reduce stress and improve focus. 

• If-then planning can build resilience. Using “implementation intentions” like “If I feel overwhelmed, then I’ll use AI to clarify my next step”  helps shift from stress to action. These simple plans boost follow-through and reduce mental clutter. 

• Tech should enhance connection. AI can streamline tasks and communication, but its role is to free up space for meaningful human moments. Clear boundaries and purpose ensure AI use supports resilience.
