I'm your host, Amber Deibert, Performance Coach. I help enterprise sellers unlock their full potential by aligning their work with how they workout and cleaning up mindset trash, so they can sell more, stress less, and take back control of their time and success.
In this episode, I get real about something a lot of high performers aren’t saying out loud: AI isn’t just a tool, it can become a full-blown dopamine trap. If you’ve ever felt behind, obsessed with optimizing, or quietly burning out while “being productive,” this conversation will hit home. By the end, you’ll walk away with a grounded, practical way to use AI without letting it take over your time, energy, and priorities.
🎯 In this episode, I riff on:
↠ My honest confession: becoming addicted to AI and how it started creeping into my daily life
↠ Why AI is especially intoxicating for high-achievers and ADHD brains
↠ The dopamine loop of building, optimizing, and constantly creating
↠ How “productive” AI use can quietly replace real-life presence and relationships
↠ The emotional rollercoaster of learning new AI tools (excitement → overwhelm → frustration → obsession)
↠ FOMO and imposter syndrome in enterprise sales when it comes to AI adoption
↠ The difference between passive action (building, planning) vs. massive action (shipping, executing)
↠ A surprising study: AI increases output but also increases total work and burnout risk
↠ The productivity “sweet spot”: why ~1 hour of AI per day outperforms overuse
↠ How overusing AI drains your dopamine and impacts your energy outside of work
↠ Recognizing unhealthy patterns: time blindness, sneaking in work, mental preoccupation
↠ Aligning your behavior with your values (career success vs. family presence)
↠ Why boundaries with AI are now just as important as boundaries with social media
↠ Questions to self-audit your AI usage and reclaim control
↠ Shifting from constant building to intentional, outcome-driven execution
