🎁 Book Club, Prompt Parties + Your Free Book

Gift ends Dec. 31. Meetups start Jan 23

Hello M(AI)VENS,

Everyone’s doing their “year wrapped” right now, and I’m absolutely here for it. So let’s start with the most fun one: yours.

(Sliding into your Sunday instead of our usual Thursday because, well, Christmas.)

Open ChatGPT and try this prompt:

Show me my year in ChatGPT

That’s it. You’ll get your chat stats, your style, your AI “archetype,” a custom image, and predictions for 2026. (Screenshot it and send it to me—I’m obsessed with seeing everyone’s results.)

My year in ChatGPT

Now let’s look at our year at M(AI)VENS. Here’s what M(AI)VENS built together in 2025, and what’s coming in 2026 that you’re going to want in on.

🪞A Look at 2025, by the Numbers

What this year looked like:

• More than 14,000 readers and users spent time with M(AI)VENS

• Over 24,000 total views, driven largely by email readers who open and read

• Nearly 60% average open rate, consistently well above industry benchmarks

• Readers across 44 U.S. states and 20 countries

• A steadily growing subscriber base through organic sharing and recommendations

What mattered most, though, wasn’t the metrics. It was the consistency. Women showing up week after week. Reading. Forwarding editions. Replying with thoughtful notes. Trying AI in new ways. This makes me happy! 😁

Our most-read and most-shared editions this year included:

🌻The Summer Networking + AI Playbook

🪜This Report Could Change Your Career Path

Guess who’s in The Hustle? 👀

📣 Get Ready for ChatGPT‑5

✨ AI in Real Life: 3 Women, 3 Stories

The pieces that resonated most explored confidence, careers, money, creativity, leadership, and daily life. AI as something you work with, learn alongside, and use on your terms.

Readers told us they forwarded editions to their teams. One mentioned a promotion where AI fluency played a role! Others said they finally felt comfortable bringing up AI in leadership meetings.

One reader stopped avoiding AI conversations at work and started leading her team’s AI training! Another used prompts from this newsletter to land a consulting gig. One forwarded the summer networking piece to her entire department.

Somewhere along the way, something changed. Women went from “I’m trying to keep up” to “I feel more confident using this and talking about it.”

✨ What’s New in 2026

For women who want to go beyond the free newsletter, our premium membership, The M(AI)VENS Network, provides real life connection with a monthly book club meetup, quarterly prompt parties, and intentional networking.

Picture this: A Friday in January. You’re on Zoom with a coffee (or, glass of wine, no judgement) talking about a thriller we all just finished reading (not a techy book at all) that completely shifted how you think about AI ethics. The women you’re chatting with? They’re about to become real connections. By March, you’re at a Prompt Party, watching someone crack a work problem live with AI, thinking “I can absolutely do that.”

Three elements anchor the upgraded membership experience:

📚 Monthly AI-Themed Book Club & Meetups

(Included with upgraded membership)

Starting in January, premium members will be invited to our monthly Book Club Meetups designed for thoughtful conversation and connection.

These books are intentionally chosen to be:

• Highly readable (not techy, I promise!)

• Story-driven and engaging

• Focused on AI’s role in society, power, ethics, and human decision-making

We’ll gather on the fourth Friday of each month 🗓 for:

• Guided discussion

• Conversation around AI themes

• Networking with fellow M(AI)VENS

• A preview and announcement of the following month’s book

🎉 Quarterly Prompt Parties

(Included with upgraded membership)

Prompt Parties are live, interactive sessions hosted quarterly for premium members. These gatherings are designed to be practical, approachable, and engaging. During each session, members:

• Explore real-life challenges using AI

• Try prompts together in real time

• Share what’s working and what’s surprising

• Learn through conversation and experimentation

No pressure. No tech jargon. Just women learning together.

🤝 Intentional Networking, Always

(Woven throughout the upgraded experience)

Both Book Club Meetups and Prompt Parties are designed with connection in mind.

Each experience creates space for:

• Meaningful conversation

• Shared learning

• Relationship-building with women navigating similar questions around work, leadership, creativity, and AI

💎 Ready to Upgrade?

Let’s get started! We’re gathering for our first Book Club Meetup on Friday, January 23rd at 12:00 noon Eastern. If you’re on the East Coast, take your lunch break with us. If you’re on the West Coast, start your day with us.

January’s Book Club selection: Culpability by Bruce Holsinger

We’ll be discussing Culpability by Bruce Holsinger—an Oprah's Book Club pick about a family torn apart after their autonomous minivan crashes, killing a couple in another car. As secrets surface and blame shifts between family members, the novel wrestles with the moral and ethical questions our society is facing, like: Who's responsible?

🎁 My gift to you: upgrade to annual membership by Dec. 31st and I'll gift you our first book, Culpability. On me!

💫 Little Things I’m Loving

The 12 Days of Christmas. Many people think the 12 Days of Christmas lead up to Dec. 25, but they actually begin on Christmas Day and run through Jan. 5, 2026.

If you're looking to keep that festive feeling going, follow my friend Pat Nogar of Living Well with Pat Nogar who hosts a nightly Facebook Live at 7:00 pm Eastern through all 12 Days of Christmas. Stories, laughs, and truly great cocktails. It feels like popping into a friend's living room at the end of the day, glass in hand.

2026 will be a year of deeper connection, more conversations, and more ways to learn together. I can’t wait to read, prompt, and connect with you in the new year.

With gratitude,
Cheyenne 💜

P.S. Those who upgrade to annual membership by Dec. 31, 2025 will be sent the book within 48 hours of upgrading, giving you plenty of time to read before our meetup on Friday, Jan. 23, 2026.
