The Unstoppable 5% with Laurie Drummond

E52 Your Voice Still Matters: Why AI Can’t Replace You

The Unstoppable 5% with Laurie Drummond

We’re in an era where AI can write everything, but just because it can, doesn’t mean it should. In this episode, I’m highlighting a powerful reminder that was sparked by a podcast I recently listened to, and a message I received that resonated so profoundly: people are craving real connection, not perfectly polished, auto-generated messaging. I am one of those, I want authentic connections. If you’ve been second-guessing your words, filtering your tone, or outsourcing your personality to tools like ChatGPT, this episode is for you. We’ll unpack: How the overuse of AI is slowly...

In this episode, I’m diving into something that hits all of us from time to time… that stuck, uninspired feeling where life just feels a bit... meh.

More Episodes

In this episode, I share how one simple word is reshaping my life in 2025 and what it really means to reclaim your strength by putting yourself first. Staying true to your path often means making tough decisions and saying no, setting boundaries, and letting go of what no longer serves you. I’ll take you through the lessons I’ve learned and how you can apply them to your own journey.

I’ll take you through a powerful conversation I had with a friend who’s rebuilding her life and struggling with over-giving to everyone else. I’ll also share my own experience of burnout and how I learned the importance of protecting my time, energy, and dreams.

If you’ve been feeling stretched too thin or caught up in obligations, this episode is your reminder that saying no to what drains you is actually saying yes to the life you deserve.

In this episode, I cover:

Why I chose my word for the year and what it means to me.
The danger of over-giving and the importance of short-term goals when rebuilding.
My personal story of burnout and how it changed the way I prioritise my time and energy.
The power of boundaries and knowing when to walk away from jobs, friendships, or commitments that no longer align.
How “decluttering” your life; people, responsibilities, and distractions, can create space for your dreams to thrive.
