In this episode of Glitter Mouth Season 2, I'm finding editing groove after rarely-drinking gummy-induced detailed-process notebook documentation that Claude AI turned into Creative Career Domination Worksheet in ten seconds saving three hours, then celebrating August 1st 2025 as last-day-ever paying thousand-plus monthly preschool bills with 0.00 ledger reading wanting to cry, cycling through Shopify digital-product struggle and singer-collaboration-letter overthinking with Ian about demo-request wording.

In this episode, I talk about:

• Claude AI worksheet ten-second creation: Put gummy-induced detailed transcript into AI asking for worksheet - "something that would have taken two-three hours did in 10 seconds"

• Creative Career Domination Worksheet structure: Core identity questions, unique combination identities, systematic approach to branding - "questions I've sent Spark Labs Northwestern alum for years"

• Shopify digital-product struggle: "Really wish it would just be click here to add digital project - have to download separate app, so many steps"

• August 1st 2025 last-preschool-bill hallelujah: Jack starting TK, ledger reads 0.00 - "kind of want to cry, 12 years of thousand-plus monthly fees, rolling directly into podcast editor"

• $14.99 Fiverr-typo-check guilt: Almost didn't hire because expensive, then realized would pay assistant $50 - "why am I not hiring somebody for $14.99"

• No-no's-only-choices parenting motto: "Never say no to anyone, give choices - smooth compliance slash working together to solve problem"

• Armpit-rash-trauma-trust-broken: Last season painful breakout like cymbals-crashing in ear, now constantly checking - "never thought about armpits until that happened"

• Singer-collaboration-letter overthinking: Writing UK singer about Travis Howard theme song - Ian helping simplify "would you be open to exploring singing in it"

• 2023 ATX Everyone's-Doing-Great premiere timeline: Kariba and Alex listening to lost-in-motherhood struggle - "their belief to jump in and be excited kicked me into gear"

• Hotel-room-downtown-Austin seven-season-outline: Ian saying don't have to write all seven, me saying "I do because how will I know what to set up in season one if I don't have season seven done"
