Using ChatGPT as a Reflective Tool: A Story of Writing ‘Choosing Shoes’

I’m excited to share something deeply meaningful to me: my upcoming book, Choosing Shoes – How Technology and Thoughtful Communication Can Transform Connection and Understanding. This project wouldn’t have been possible without ChatGPT as an unexpected but powerful companion throughout my writing journey.

What the Project is About:
The book dives into the intersection of emotional intelligence, intentional parenting, and the surprising role technology—specifically ChatGPT—can play in fostering self-awareness, clarity, and connection. Rather than replacing my voice, ChatGPT became a reflection tool that helped me process complex thoughts, refine communication, and ultimately tell my story with greater clarity.

How ChatGPT Played a Role:
Throughout the process, I used ChatGPT to:

Clarify complex thoughts and refine emotional reflections.

Turn raw, scattered ideas into cohesive narratives.

Ask better questions—of myself and my family—leading to deeper insights.

Why I’m Sharing This Here:
I believe this project aligns with OpenAI’s vision of AI as a tool to enhance human potential. My hope is to share this story widely, not just to highlight the book, but to show how AI can be used intentionally—not to replace creativity and connection, but to amplify them.

I’d love your thoughts on this, and if anyone from OpenAI finds this resonates with their vision, I’d be excited to explore opportunities to share this journey more widely.

Thank you for creating such a powerful tool and for fostering a community where these stories can be shared!
