## Resource

There are hundreds of AI-powered therapy apps on the market today. When we talk to them, are we doing more than just talking to ourselves? Can we reach the same effect by simply stopping to watch snow fall outside? In this intimate episode, Sonja and Jamie use AI as a framework to reflect on the potential illusion of human agency, work-life balance as a rhythmic cycle of rest and productivity, and the essence of true communication.
