Clarity on FireAuthor: Rachel East and Kristen Walker
Clarity on Fire is a podcast for people who know what they DON'T want out of their life and career, but aren't sure what they'd RATHER be doing. We're Kristen and Rachel, two best friends from college and certified life coaches who are here to help you cut through the information overload, get unstuck, and focus not JUST on how you can have a career you're passionate about, but how to create a whole LIFE that feels fulfilling. In a world where it's easy to exist but hard to feel alive, we want you to experience the relief of knowing that YES, you're allowed to want more out of your life and career. And NO, you don't have to wander through the dark anymore. Our job is to light the fire that shows you the way.

How to use AI as your coach (without losing yourself) with R.A. Williams
Episode 429
Thursday, 26 February, 2026
A few months ago, we released an episode about AI and coaching that sparked a LOT of conversation. And many of you admitted (a little sheepishly) that you use AI for emotional processing, brainstorming, or decision-making. So… we're continuing the conversation. This time, Kristen sits down with returning guest (and Kristen's client!) R.A. Williams — a London-based coach who has spent the last year building an AI-powered thinking tool based on her own coaching framework. After our previous episode exposed the dangers of using AI like a therapist, this conversation explores something different: What if AI could actually make you more self-reliant instead of less? Let's be honest… AI isn't going away. And if we're going to live in a world where 30–40% of people are already using AI for emotional support, we all need to figure out a healthy way to do that without losing ourselves in the process. Listen in as we dive into: Why most AI tools are designed to be the "hero," and why that's a problem How AI can accidentally erode agency… or strengthen it Why accountability from a human being will never be replaceable What AI can genuinely help you with vs. what it absolutely cannot replace And how to make sure you remain the hero of your own life After you listen, leave a comment and tell us: Have you used AI for emotional support? What has your experience been? MORE ABOUT R.A. WILLIAMS R.A.
