26 Nov 2025
๐ฆ๐ต๐ผ๐ ๐ข๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ถ๐ฒ๐Layoffs, hiring freezes, reorgs โ even women with โgood jobsโ are feeling how fragile a single paycheck can be. Trudy-Ann Armand is on a mission to make sure that when work shifts, women arenโt starting from zero.In this episode of The AI Readiness Project, hosts Anne Murphy (She Leads AI) and Kyle Shannon (The AI Salon) talk with Trudy-Ann about why income resilience canโt wait, and how AI can become a quiet teammate in your corner โ from the commute brainstorming session to your first โfive to nineโ offer.Trudy shares the story behind HER-MINE, the aunt who inspired it, and what sheโs learned working with hundreds of women founders and professionals who are tired, overextended, and still carrying a lot of financial risk. She walks us through her new Five to Nine Freedom cohort, where women admit (often for the first time) what theyโre really capable of and start turning years of experience into paid, sustainable work.We also get into the messy middle: imposter syndrome, AI that โsounds wrong,โ chatbots giving bad answers, and why judgment and community still matter more than any model.๐๐ฒ๐ ๐ง๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐๐โข Income resilience as Plan B, not a panic moveโข Finding your hidden, billable skills with Trudy-Ann's GPT, Revaโข AI as a practice -- and a confidence builderโข Imposter syndrome reframed as "the monster"โข What AI is not good at -- and how to stay safeโข AI readiness: pick one tool and play๐ข๐๐ฟ ๐๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ง๐ฟ๐๐ฑ๐-๐๐ป๐ป ๐๐ฟ๐บ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ is the โIncome Resilience Bestieโ behind HER-MINE.AI and the creator of the Five to Nine Freedom community.
