Have you been experiencing AI anxiety, fear of AI, or worry about what artificial intelligence could mean for your future, career, or job?
More and more people are feeling stressed, discouraged, or even stuck because of frightening predictions about the future of AI, job loss, and how quickly technology is changing.
In this episode, Brandy shares a grounded mindset shift to help you navigate fear about AI and the future without ignoring legitimate concerns or pretending that everything will magically be fine.
Instead, it is about recognizing the difference between staying informed and taking intelligent action versus becoming so consumed by fear that you stop building your life today.
Brandy explores several powerful examples, including Y2K, major technological changes, and what she witnessed during COVID, when some people became so discouraged about the future that they stopped taking care of themselves or working toward the life they wanted.
She also shares how this same principle showed up during her own healing journey. When her future felt hopeless, discouragement kept her stuck. But when she began opening her mind to a different possibility, she also began looking for answers, learning, growing, and taking action.
The message is simple:
You do not have to know exactly how the future will unfold to keep creating a future you are excited to live.
If you have been wondering how to stop worrying about AI, how AI could affect jobs, or how to stay grounded and optimistic as technology changes, this episode offers an empowering way to think about uncertainty, growth, action, and your future.

If you have found yourself asking any of these questions such as:
Welcome to Heal Yourself. Change Your Life. I’m Brandy Gillmore, and what I’m most known for is helping people to create radical transformations, and even demonstrating the power of the mind and self-healing under medical equipment so you can see the results. And my work has even been published in a medical journal because it’s truly incredible what we are all capable of when we understand our own minds at a deeper level.
So whether you’re new to this work or you’ve been studying the power of the mind for many years, I love that you are here. I love that we’re on this incredible journey together, and I look forward to sharing breakthrough information with you. That said, on this podcast, I’ll share two types of episodes.
First, self-healing episodes where I share key insights from working with live volunteers. And the second type are where I answer questions from the audience. That said, if you’d like to volunteer or submit a question, come visit me at BrandyGillmore.com. On that note, let’s dive in
Have you been feeling underlying feelings of fear towards AI and been suppressing them or even feeling stuck because of these feelings? You know, more and more people have been reaching out because of this feeling of feeling stuck, of feeling discouraged, of feeling stress, of feeling pain, or it’s just I’m watching it affect so many people.
And so today I really wanted to talk about a mindset shift that can help you to not get stuck in the fear, because so often that’s what can happen is that something can happen in life and a large portion of people can get sucked in and almost become paralyzed by it. You know, for example, I watched this with, unfortunately with COVID.
You know, there were a lot of people who might have been angry about COVID, but also a lot of people who just thought, you know, what’s the point? And kind of gave up on life, you know, where they said, “Oh, I’m gonna just gonna drink more, do drugs, or do all kinds of things.” You know or just let themselves go.
What’s the point eating this, that, that… Just feeling unhealthy, like that feeling of feeling, what’s the point? And I’ve seen that in a variety of different times in life where people have that feeling because, you know, so often there can be a fear story, and I even did a podcast on that very thing a couple weeks ago, is that in life there’s always some type of fear story where, you know, the world is going to end because of this reason or that reason or whatnot.
And so I want to really expand on a mindset shift that can help you with that because once you get sucked in, it’s discouraging. It feels, uh, depressing, you know, a- and just so often I see that very thing. And so that’s what I want to give to you today is kind of a way to think about it to help you. And what you could do is you could use this in a literal way or just think about what can work for you.
Now, as I s- as I step into this, I, I’m not trying to have a debate on the topic, just to give you something that can help you. And that… What I mean by that is this, is that- If we think about something in an encouraging way or a strengthening way or an optimistic way, more of the best of you can show up in life.
And even with my own injury, by the way, when doctors said that there was nothing that they could do for me, that that was my life and I… There was… You know, I wasn’t going to get better. There was no- nothing that they could do. I was stuck. I was very discouraged, and there was a point where, you know, it just got really bad, put it that way.
And of course, I started getting myself excited about my future. I said, “Okay, look. I have to create a different vision for myself. I really have to change this.” And that was part of my healing process was exactly that. And the more that I opened up to a different possibility and, and saw the future in a different way, the more my mind started to find the answers and, and figure things out on healing and, and transforming and changing everything.
So my point is, is that if we have a discouraging viewpoint moving forward, it can keep you stuck. And so food for thought. So a way that you could think about AI is this, is if you think about Y2K for a moment. You know, leading up to the year 2000, there were a lot of people who were saying what? Who were saying, “The, the world’s gonna end,” or, “Everything’s going to come crashing down with technology.”
Now, did it? It didn’t. There were some bugs, but it didn’t. Now, by the way, it wasn’t just positive thinking or a bunch of chaos. What there was is actually a lot of people working behind the scenes to help make the shift happen. So there was… There, there were a lot of things going on, but it was resolved.
And so my point is, is that, yes, the… You can hear AI, and people are saying, “Oh, it’s going to be horrible,” this, that, the other, and I get that. There, there’s that voice of people saying that. But as we step into strength and we make things happen and make changes, what if everything is actually just fine and okay and great?
Just like Y2K, where it’s fine. Now, that’s one piece to look at. Now, there’s another piece. Don’t get me wrong, because AI’s got some complexities to it. So another piece that we can look at it is this, is we can look at the Industrial Revolution when everything changed. All the jobs changed, you know, and they went into machinery, and everybody was going to lose their job, and it was gonna be the end of the w- world and the workforce and all these things.
And yet jobs changed. And the same thing happened with the internet. I mean, I remember that when people started getting websites, and then it was like, “Oh, this is going to ruin all businesses and all jobs and all of the things.” And yet They just transitioned. And so again, it’s not just about thinking positive.
If there’s a transition that needs to be made, making that. But if we start to look at it for a moment, all of the fears about AI, we can see in the past where there have been things that have come up, you know, again, going back to Y2K and the world’s gonna end and everything’s going to crash. It didn’t But there was action to be taken as well.
And so I want to invite you to look at that in this way or in a, an empowering way in your own life to create that change because what I’m seeing is a lot of people who are feeling really discouraged and stuck and, “Oh, AI’s gonna take away their jobs, and AI’s gonna ruin their life, and AI’s gonna do this,” and it’s heavy.
And it like, “AI’s gonna take over the world, it’s gonna end everything,” blah, blah, blah, and I’m seeing people get sucked in. Now, I know what it feels like myself during my own injury. I got sucked in to the heaviness of discouraging, etcetera, and I saw people do it through COVID, and I saw people do it through, you know, a lot of different things in their own lives.
And so just a thought, food for thought, if you will, because I have had people reaching out. Even the podcast I mentioned I did a couple weeks ago, which was on the fear story. There’s always a fear story, and you can get sucked in. And so people messaged in and they said, “But Brandy, okay, how do I think about AI, but what about this?”
And you hear this, and you hear that, and yes. They say, “But you’re hearing all the fear stories.” And I say, “Yeah, that’s, that’s how it’s worked.” You know, if you think about Y2K, there were the fear stories. And so, and somebody’s health and, and, and so it’s overcoming the fear stories. And so that’s how I would invite you to look at it regarding AI is going, okay, we’ve, we’ve done this fear story before, and it was okay.
Like, and yes. Did it take action? Yes. So I’m not saying just think positive, everything’s gonna be fantastic. I’m saying think positive, yes, and focus on where you wanna go, yes, and it also might take some positive action behind that depending upon your life and your situation and circumstances. And so that positive action, though, is what makes that change.
You know, in my own life, when I was told I wasn’t going to heal and I wasn’t going to get better, I didn’t just think positive. Yes, I started changing my mindset of, okay, how do I create a better future? And then I started really understanding neuroscience and the mind and what it took to really heal myself, and I created a radical change, you know?
And, and it, of course, it took me years to figure it out. If you know my story, I mean, it took me like almost nearly six and a half, seven years to figure out how, how to heal myself. So it wa- you know, so, so it took me a while, but I stepped into action to figure it out instead of just feeling stuck. And so that’s the insight that I want to share with you just because I’m seeing more and more of that, and so, and the questions that are coming in and emails and all of that.
So this is a reframe, if you will, of a way that you could look at this and say, “Okay, look, we’re gonna be okay. We’re gonna be just fine.” Keep creating your future, create your plans, and, and create an amazing life. And if, yes, if there’s some type of action that you need to take- Take it. Step into your strength.
Make this an incredible life. It is truly incredible what we are capable of as long as we don’t get stuck in the fear story and get lost in that. ‘Cause once you get sucked in, it’s definitely some… Y- you got to pull yourself back out. So just food for thought. And of course, by the way, if you are somebody who is really unders- wanting to understand mind body healing and how it works, there’s also a free training in the show notes so you can understand those discoveries and how I’ve been able to show people how to get incredible results even under medical equipment.
