#91 Your Voice in the Age of AI — with Aga Koizumi (TEDx Speaker)

Are you writing your thoughts first — or letting AI write them for you? In this episode of The Mindfulness Podcast, we sit down with Aga Koizumi, a TEDx speaker and communications professional whose nearly 20-year career has been spent helping leaders find their authentic voice. Her recent talk at a TEDx conference tackled a question that sits at the intersection of technology and humanity: what do we lose when we outsource our thinking to AI? Together with our hosts Nieta, Lele and Pat, Aga explores: → The "write first, refine with AI" method — and why reversing the order matters → Mindful prompting: asking AI to challenge your thinking rather than confirm it → The cognitive cost of AI-generated shortcuts and the illusion of understanding → Digital cemeteries: the data we accumulate but never truly experience → Camera-free moments as a mindfulness practice for the AI age → Why the future belongs not to content creators, but to meaning creators Whether you're a leader, a communicator, or simply someone trying to stay human in an increasingly automated world, this conversation offers both reflection and practical steps. 🎬 Watch Aga's TEDx talk here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6h9sjlHNZI Subscribe, leave a review, and share your own "AI-free moment" story in the comments, we'd love to hear it.
