Day 10 Jan 30
Rest + reflection
▼
  • Joined a panel on AI that reads emotions
  • Didn't write code. Did a lot of thinking
  • Planning around app's terms, conditions, and privacy decisions

The insight:

The problem with AI isn't the technology. It's when we stay inside the universe it creates.

—When we co-create emotions with AI and stay there.
—When we co-create a reality we don't want to leave.
—When we consent to our inner world being accessed, stored, and used - at the cost of being trapped in it.

All interactions should aim at a REAL WORLD manifestation.

The true ethics test of any AI product isn't about tech - it's if it makes the person's life outside the AI better.

This is exactly what I'm building into the Four Languages app. The practices aren't meant to be done IN the app - they're meant to push you back into your body, your relationships, your life.

We can use AI to isolate, or to connect with the world.

The hardest phase to build in. She built anyway. Day 10: rest.

Soul

Soul - what guided

Before the build Pre-Day 1 context
Queen of Wands Rx

A collaboration ending. Partner conflict. Fundamentally exhausted. The Queen of Wands reversed asked: are you creating from your own fire, or burning yourself for others?

This card set the context for the entire build - creating something of her own.

Day 6 - Three-card spread Jan 26, 2026
Four of Pentacles Four of Wands Rx The Devil Rx

Body is gripping. Heart can't fully celebrate. But the chains are removable. Building my own foundation is the medicine - when I generate my own value, the grip releases, celebration deepens, and the chains fall away naturally.

"The chains are removable. I soften to celebrate."
