What happens to your business when life gets heavy?

This week, Anacani went live for nearly seven days straight during one of the hardest weeks she's had in a long time — and this episode is the proof that systems aren't just a business strategy. They're how you protect your peace when life has other plans.

In this episode, you'll hear an AI-powered deep dive breakdown of Day 6 of the 7-Day Live Challenge: AI Tools + Strategies for Coaches — all about healing the hustle through automation. Specifically built for women wellness entrepreneurs, coaches, yoga teachers, healers, and anyone who started their practice to help people but ended up drowning in admin work instead.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• Why automation feels scary to healers — and why that fear is based on a misunderstanding
• The Automation Priority Pyramid — what to automate first, what to automate next, and what to NEVER hand over to a system
• The yoga breathing analogy that explains exactly why automation protects your magic (not replaces it)
• How GoHighLevel (GHL) uses triggers and actions to run your business without code
• The missed call text-back that recovers 20–40% of lost leads — automatically
• The Fast Five Lead Response sequence that boosts response rates by 340%
• How appointment reminders alone can slash no-shows by 30%
• The 47-step monster mistake — and how to avoid over-engineering your workflows
• How Claude AI + the Alchemized Content Method turns one live video into four pieces of content
• The difference between generative AI and agentic AI — and why it matters for your business
• iPhone Shortcuts you can build today: Wind Down mode, CEO morning check-in, Notes to Notion workflow, and back tap
• Shortcuts Playground — how to build phone automations using plain English prompts in Claude

This is one of the hardest weeks that I've had in a really long time.

Life was truly happening in some big ways.

The kind of week where you're just trying to keep your head above water, but you can feel the weight of just having to tread water, which feels like an eternity, especially when you're trying to be present for the people who need you most.

And somewhere in the middle of that you're also trying to run all of your businesses.

And somehow in between all of that, I went live for for almost seven days straight now.

And not because I'm superhuman.

I promise you that I am far from.

Because guess what?

My hair was wet on day six.

I showed up with mom hair on day five.

High level crashed on camera.

I was running on fumes and probably way too much coffee on day two.

But I showed up because this is what fills my cup.

I love teaching and this week was all about teaching you systems to really help you in weeks like this.

Because when life gets really heavy and you know it will, just like the tides come in and out, everything has its ebbs and its flows and you don't want to be the engine and the fuel and the driver when that happens.

You do want something holding the wheel for you on autopilot when it really matters.

And that's what this episode is about.

I accepted a seven day live challenge by eCamm and I've been teaching all about AI tools and strategies for women, wellness entrepreneurs and coaches.

And day six was all about automations.

One of the favorite things that I like to talk about because not very many people are doing it.

And I had AI break down the whole training because honestly it did such a better job than I think I could have done for you.

And that's what you're about to hear.

So if it resonates, stay with it till the end.

End.

There is an actual full training of how I actually taught it live.

All the replays for all the other days, all the resources that I dropped throughout the week, they're all inside my free Facebook group.

The link will be in the show notes, but only for the next 30 days because as you know, that's how Facebook rolls these days.

And then that's it, they're going to be gone.

So stay with me.

This one's for the woman who's carrying a lot right now and still trying to build something beautiful.

So grab your cup of whatever's keeping you grounded and let's get dive in.

Imagine you're a wellness entrepreneur.

You know, maybe you're a Coach, a yoga instructor or a holistic healer.

Right, someone in the service space.

Exactly.

And you started your practice with this singular, beautiful mission to help people navigate their lives or heal their bodies.

But then reality hits.

Yeah, reality hits hard.

Because lately, instead of actually coaching or healing, you're just drowning in a sea of admin work.

I mean, you're answering the exact same pricing emails over and over.

So calendar shifting, manually shifting calendar appointments all day.

Yes.

Scrambling to write something profound on social media, frantically texting clients so they don't forget to show up.

It just, it feels heavy.

It's the most classic trap for service based entrepreneurs.

Right.

Because if your business stops the second you stop typing on your keyboard, you don't actually have a business.

You know, you have a job.

You build a practice to create freedom, but the sheer mechanics of running it become this massive bottleneck.

The administrative burden just slowly suffocates the passion you started with.

Okay, let's unpack this.

Because today's deep dive is really a masterclass on how to heal the hustle and build the dream.

I love that phrasing.

We're specifically looking at the power of automations using iPhones, Claude AI and a platform called Go High Level.

And we're looking at this entirely through the lens of women wellness entrepreneurs.

Yeah, and the overarching strategy here comes from Anna Connie Walters.

Right.

She calls herself an AI doula.

Exactly.

She helps founders scale their impact without burning out.

And that title, AI doula, is incredibly.

Deliberate because a doula is someone who holds space and provides guidance during a massive life transition.

Spot on.

Anakani is essentially doing that, but with technology, she's guiding non technical healers through the birth of a new operating system.

One where the tech supports the human rather than dominating them.

I think that framing is so vital.

Before we even touch a piece of software, we really have to talk about the psychology of automation first.

Because there's a lot of resistance.

Oh, massive resistance.

When you say the word automation to a healer or a life coach, they tense up.

And honestly, I get it.

Sure, it sounds gold, right?

If I'm a client paying for a highly personalized duply human coaching experience and I find out I'm being managed by a machine, doesn't that destroy the authenticity?

Doesn't the business just lose its soul?

That is the exact fear that keeps so many brilliant practitioners chained to their laptops.

But it really stems from a misunderstanding of what should actually be automated.

So how do we prevent that robotic feeling?

Anakani uses this framework called the automation Priority Pyramid.

It dictates exactly what gets handed over to a digital system and what must be fiercely protected for the human.

Okay, walk me through the layers of this pyramid.

Where do we even start?

At the very bottom.

This is the automate first tier.

It's all the administrative repetitive tasks.

The boring stuff.

Exactly.

The things that require zero emotional intelligence and are exactly the same every single time.

Welcome emails, appointment confirmations, sending out intake forms.

Okay, that makes total sense.

It's the logistical scaffolding of the business.

So what's the next layer up?

The middle tier is the automate next level.

These are tasks that are highly important to growth, but they are incredibly time consuming and cognitively draining.

Like what?

Marketing?

Yeah, like content repurposing or organizing research for a new program or the backend logistics of onboarding a new client.

Which leaves the top of the pyramid.

Right.

The apex is the never automate zone.

This is the actual heart of the practice.

So the live coaching calls?

Yes.

A personal voice message to a client you know is struggling a response to a crisis.

The actual intellectual property you're teaching, that.

Makes a lot of sense.

The whole philosophy here is that building automations at the bottom and middle is never about replacing the coach.

It's entirely about protecting your time and emotional bandwidth so you can show up fully in that top tier.

You know, it reminds me of a yoga practice.

Oh, how?

Well, when you first step onto the mat as a beginner, you have to consciously think about your breath.

You're actively telling yourself to inhale and exhale with every movement.

It takes significant mental effort just to.

Keep the rhythm going.

Yeah, exactly.

But eventually with practice, your breathing becomes automated.

Your nervous system just handles the respiration in the background.

Grat.

You don't even think about it.

And because you aren't expending cognitive energy on breathing anymore, you can focus entirely on holding a really complex difficult pose.

That top tier of the business, the deep client work, is the complex pose.

That is a brilliant way to visualize it.

You're outsourcing the basic respiratory functions of.

Your business so you can focus on the heavy lifting.

But I have to push back a little here.

Automation still sounds scary and highly technical.

Doesn't if this then that require like actual coding.

That's a huge misconception.

The real power here isn't learning how to write code.

Automation is simply digital cause and effect.

Like setting an alarm.

Exactly.

If your phone alarm goes off every morning at 6, you've already automated your wake up.

You didn't code that.

I just set the rule Right.

If we connect this to the bigger picture, it's a fundamental shift in your internal mindset from I have to do this task to my system has to do this task.

So you stop seeing technology as a threat to your authenticity and start seeing it as a boundary that protects your piece.

Exactly.

So if the bottom tier is about outsourcing those repetitive tasks, how do we actually pull that off without a computer science degree?

That brings us to the command center, a platform called Go.

High level people usually just call it ghl.

Right.

And what does that actually do?

It's essentially a unified workspace that combines your customer database with a workflow builder.

And it's accessible because it relies on a visual flowchart.

No code required.

This was just drag and drop?

Pretty much.

It relies on two core elements, triggers and actions.

Okay, so the trigger is the event that starts the workflow.

Like someone submitting a form on my website.

Yes.

And the action is what happens next.

Like sending an sms.

You simply connect the dots to map out the journey.

Let's talk about those specific journeys.

Because the data on some of these workflows from the sources is just fascinating.

Oh, the missed call data is wild.

All right.

The missed call text back.

If we look at consumer behavior.

Yeah.

85% Of people who call a business and don't get an answer will not leave a voicemail.

They just hang up.

Yeah, they hang up and immediately call the next competitor on Google.

It's a massive invisible leak in the business.

Think about the mindset of someone calling a somatic therapist.

They've finally built up the courage to ask for help.

If the phone just rings out, their anxiety spikes and they move on.

But with ghl, you set a trigger for a missed call and the action is to automatically text them within 60 seconds.

Like, hey, sorry we missed you.

I'm in a session.

How can we help?

Just doing that one thing recovers 20 to 40% of those lost leads.

You catch them before they dial the next person.

That's incredible.

And there's also the Fast 5 lead response workflow.

Right.

If.

Yes, this is for when someone downloads a free guide or fills out an inquiry form.

The system sends an SMS within 30 seconds of that new lead.

Okay.

Then it waits exactly 15 minutes.

If there's no reply, it sends an email.

Then it waits an hour.

If still no reply, it creates a manual task for you to follow up.

I want to pause on the timing there.

Why wait exactly 15 minutes before sending the email?

It's all about preserving the human illusion.

If a prospect fills Out a form and instantly gets three texts and two dense emails all in the same second.

They know it's a robot.

Exactly.

They tune it out immediately.

But if they get a quick text right away, capturing their intent while their dopamine is high, and then an email arrives 15 minutes later, it feels like.

You actually sat down, read their file, and typed out a response.

Exactly.

This specific sequence can boost response rates by 340%.

Wow.

And this applies to day to day operations too.

Like appointment reminders.

Building a simple flowchart, an immediate confirmation.

A text at 24 hours and one at one hour slashes no show rates.

By 30%, which is huge for revenue.

You write these sequences once on a Tuesday and they run forever.

But I do need to warn you about a major pitfall here.

The 47 step monster.

Yes.

When people first discover this, they get so excited, they completely overengineer the whole thing.

They build workflows with way too many actions firing way too fast.

Right, like three texts and two emails in 10 minutes.

Or they create loops with no exit conditions.

Oh, so a client successfully books a session, but the system keeps texting them, asking them to book.

Exactly.

They get trapped in a loop and feel hunted instead of helped.

That sounds incredibly annoying.

So what does this mean for the listener who doesn't want to build this themselves?

Well, Anacondi Walters actually offers done for you website builds on ghl.

They just hand you the keys to the operational machine, fully optimized.

Okay, so GHL handles the bottom tier, the booking, the admin.

But the real bottleneck for a modern wellness coach is the middle tier.

The exhaustion of constantly creating content.

Right.

You have to be everywhere.

Instagram, LinkedIn, a blog.

How does automation help with that?

Cognitive fatigue.

This is where we bring in the brain of the operation.

Claude, AI.

Now, I have to challenge this.

If I just ask an AI to write my Instagram captions about, like, Somatic Healing, it's going to sound like a textbook.

It strips away the human experience.

If you use it like a basic search engine, yes, it will sound hollow.

But that's not how advanced practitioners use it.

They use the alchemized content method.

How does that work?

You do one thing manually in your top never automate tier.

You go live on Facebook or YouTube and just speak your truth.

Okay, so that's pure me.

Yes.

Then automation takes over.

You pull the transcript using a tool like Description and feed it to Claude along with a brand voice skill.

Wait, what is a brand voice skill?

It's a set of rules that teaches the AI.

Your exact tone, your pacing, the filler words you use, and the industry jargon you refuse to use.

Oh, wow.

So you instruct Claude to write a blog post based only on that transcript, applying your specific voice rules precisely.

It acts like a highly skilled editor.

And then you have it spin that blog post into a LinkedIn article and pull out a quote for an Instagram graphic.

So one live video equals four pieces of content.

That is brilliant.

It completely shifts the paradigm.

But Claude is evolving way past just rewriting text.

We have to talk about Claude, cowork.

And live artifacts because it's acting more like an operating system now.

Right?

What's fascinating here is the transition from generative AI to agentic AI.

Break that distinction down for me.

Generative AI is like a very smart library.

You ask a question, it hands you a book, but you're still driving the process.

Agentic AI is like hiring a team of specialized interns.

So you give it an objective, and it figures out the steps on its own.

Exactly.

Inside Claude Cowork.

You can deploy multiple versions of Claude, called sub agents, to do tasks in parallel.

So I could say spin up eight research agents at once.

Yes.

They'll go out, read clinical studies, cross check facts, and compile a massive synthesis report with validated sources formatted right on your desktop, all while you do something else.

It's like having a digital chief of staff.

And it connects directly to your tools, too.

Like the daily Brief Automation.

Oh, I love that one.

Right?

You schedule it so that while you're making your morning coffee, Claude checks your unread emails and your Google Calendar and just catches you up on everything that happened overnight.

It organizes the chaos before you even sit down.

But here's the thing.

Wellness entrepreneurs aren't always at a desk.

They're teaching a yoga class or running a paddleboard session.

They're living life in the physical world.

Exactly.

GHL and Claude are amazing for the desk, but how do we automate the physical day to day?

We unlock the most ignored app on the iPhone.

Apple Shortcuts.

Yes, it's completely free and it's already in your pocket.

I am so guilty of ignoring this app.

Most people do.

But there are incredible wellness specific shortcuts you can build.

My absolute favorite is wind down mode.

It's the ultimate nervous system automation.

Walk us through it.

Okay, so you set a physical trigger, plugging your phone charger in at night.

The phone then automatically turns on Do Not Disturb, dims the brightness all the way down, and opens your meditation app.

That is brilliant.

It physically Prepares you for rest.

Right.

Instead of accidentally scrolling for 45 minutes.

What's another good one?

The CEO morning check in at 5.30am an automation asks for your energy level and what you're grateful for, and you.

Can actually link that to a custom workout designer.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

You rate your energy on a scale of 1 to 5.

If you enter a 1 or 2, it automatically gives you a gentle stretching.

Routine, meeting your body where it's at exactly.

And if you're at a three to five, it gives you cardio or strength, plus a random motivational notification.

That's amazing.

And for capturing inspiration on the go, there's the Notes to Notion workflow.

How does that one work?

Say you're on a hike.

You just brain dump a messy idea into an Apple note and tag it with notion.

The shortcut automatically sends it to Claude or ChatGPT to format into a clean actionable to do list in your Notion app.

So by the time you get back to your computer, the chaos is organized.

And the magic accessibility trick for all of this is Back tap.

Oh, where you double tap the back of the phone.

Yes.

You double tap the physical back of the iPhone to run any of these shortcuts instantly.

You don't even have to unlock the screen.

But this raises an important question.

How do non technical people actually build these shortcuts?

Because the Shortcuts app can feel really intimidating to look at.

Exactly.

Well, there's an ultimate hack from the sources called Shortcuts Playground.

Okay, tell me everything.

Because Apple Shortcuts use an XML file format, developers created a plugin for Claude code.

You can literally just type a natural language prompt into Claude.

Wait, like plain English?

Plain English you say?

Create a shortcut that takes my five most recent screenshots and messages them to my assistant.

And what does Claude do?

Claude writes the code, tests it, validates it, and signs a fully functioning Apple shortcut file.

It just hands it to you.

You tap it and it installs.

Here's where it gets really interesting.

You don't even need to learn how to use the Shortcuts app anymore.

You just need to know how to ask Claude for what you want.

AI is literally coding your phone automations for you.

That is mind bending.

If we synthesize all the takeaways today.

Your IP feeds your content, your voice.

Keeps it human, Claude keeps it organized, GHL keeps your business running.

And your iPhone shortcuts keep your personal life protected.

Exactly.

You are no longer the bottleneck in your own business.

So for everyone listening, here is your homework from Anna Connie Walters Build one Automation today.

Just one.

Start small.

Yes.

Start with a warm, welcoming email sequence that feels like a hug.

Just get that one thing off your plate.

And as you build these highly personalized systems, like a shortcut that logs your air quality or alters your workout based on your energy, your I want to leave you with a final thought to mull over.

Oh, I love a good, provocative thought.

Lay it on us.

What happens when your automated systems start to know your physical rhythm so well that they can anticipate and automate solutions for your burnout before you even realize you're tired?

Oh, wow.

That is incredibly powerful.

Imagine your business actively protecting your nervous system.

Thank you so much for joining us on this deep dive.
