🫶 For the Mothers, the Daughters, and the Caregivers

My in-laws are visiting and we love having them stay with us. But this week, my 86-year-old father-in-law wasn’t feeling well after a hemoglobin shot during dialysis. He felt dizzy and lightheaded that evening, and by morning we were all wondering if a trip to the ER was necessary. His regular doctor wasn’t reachable, so I packed my bag and laptop, assuming we’d be in for a long day at the hospital.

We were literally in the car, on the way to the ER, when I pulled over and opened ChatGPT.

I explained his symptoms and learned that lightheadedness after a hemoglobin shot can be a common, short-term reaction, especially in seniors. That bit of information gave us enough clarity to hold off on the ER and wait to speak with his doctor later that morning. He’s doing great now, and my in-laws are joking that I should start charging for AI consultations. (Family discount, of course.)

🩺 Sample Prompt
If you’re caring for someone and unsure about a symptom or side effect, you can ask ChatGPT for general information like this:

“My 86-year-old father-in-law had a hemoglobin shot after dialysis and is now feeling dizzy and lightheaded. Is this a known side effect? What are common reactions people might have after a hemoglobin injection?”

💡 Tip: Add details like age, recent treatments, and any pre-existing conditions for a more tailored response. And always follow up with a licensed healthcare provider—AI can be helpful, but it’s not a doctor.

Was it a replacement for medical care? Of course not. But it gave us peace of mind and a better sense of what we were dealing with (and we avoided a day wasted in the ER)!

📌 Pinterest Says No to AI Overload

With the crisis behind us, I found myself reaching for comfort in the form of a Pinterest scroll (because sometimes Mediterranean tile is the answer).

And I was deep into it. You know the kind of scroll where one minute you’re looking for backyard ideas and the next you’ve somehow curated your dream life, complete with linen pants (that never wrinkle) and a lemon tree you swear you could keep alive.

But something felt off. One image of a too-perfect kitchen made me stop. Was it real? Or was it AI?

Turns out, earlier this week, Pinterest rolled out a new feature that adds a little “AI-modified” tag to any image created or altered with artificial intelligence. They’re also testing a way to filter out AI-generated images entirely in categories like beauty and home decor. Just tap the three dots on a pin and select “See fewer like this.”

And honestly? I love this.

I’m so glad to see Pinterest listening and exercising transparency. For those of us planning a living room refresh, a business rebrand, or just a vibe— it’s important to know if what you’re looking at is real life or AI-generated.

🎉 Introducing M(AI)VENS Premium Membership!

When I started M(AI)VENS, I knew I wanted to offer more beyond this newsletter. I wanted to create a space where women could connect, learn, and build confidence together.

I started thinking about the types of gatherings I enjoy most: book clubs, speaker events, creative brainstorms, and those cozy conversations where big ideas are shared. That’s when it hit me. I didn’t want to choose just one format. I wanted to blend them all into something new!

So that’s exactly how we’ve designed the M(AI)VENS Premium Membership available for just $10/month or $100/year:

🟣 Monthly M(AI)VENS Meetup (live on Zoom): Sessions that blend themed roundtable discussions, guest speakers, book club chats, and networking circle. No two are the same—just like the women who show up.
🟣 A chance to shape the future of this community—your ideas, questions, and experiences help guide where we go next.

If you’re ready to do more than just read about AI, this is your space to explore it in good company, network, and connect with others. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a team leader, or simply curious, Premium is designed to give you connection, insight, and inspiration each month. 💬

We’re still in the early days, and I’d love for you to be part of shaping this community as it grows.
