Humanness is the new scarcity in 2026

Hi Reader, Last week, we talked about Fire Horse energy and how 2026 is asking you to ride, not hide. Did my Marketing Forecast for the Year of the Fire Horse land for your Chinese zodiac sign? Today, I want to get very practical about one thing shaping all of this: AI. AI is everywhere now. That means humanness – your stories, your lived experience, your original perspective – is the new scarcity. Brandwatch’s 2026 report shows people are fed up with low-effort, AI-heavy content, with mentions of “slop” rising over 200% last year and most of that conversation being negative. The message is clear: your audience can smell “AI for the sake of content” from a mile away. How to stay human with AII wrote a new article, How to Use AI in Marketing Without Going Vanilla, plus a video and worksheet to guide you through it. Inside, I share eight practical moves to use AI as a support tool, not a stand-in for your voice, your strategy or your humanity. A few teasers from the framework:
Watch the video and download the worksheet here. Your action for this weekPick one recurring marketing task – a weekly post, a newsletter segment, a Reel caption. Experiment with using AI to support the process, then deliberately add back your stories, your language, your lived experience before you hit publish. Notice how much more “you” it feels. With warmth and wisdom, Roslyn P.S. If you want more support weaving this into a bigger 2026 plan, I’ll share upcoming ways to work together soon – especially for lifestyle entrepreneurs who want growth without burning out their health, relationships or creativity. To make sure you keep getting tools, stories and strategies like this, add showup@roslynfoo.com to your address book or safe senders list so my emails don’t disappear into spam. How I can serve you:
Thank you for giving this email your attention. I hope the content has served you well. |

Hi Reader Today I turn 43. Yesterday, on my last day of being 42, I took some time to reflect on what this year has taught me. I feel clearer now on what I really value: peace, health, and purpose. How I feel in my body. How I show up in my work. How much capacity I have for the people and things I care about. This year taught me a lot. It taught me that sometimes being told no is exactly what you need to find a better path forward. One that gives you more ownership, more independence, and...
Hi [First name], I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately: Writing consistently builds real skill and resonance. Authenticity is the new advantage as AI rises. A few grounded truths I keep coming back to: Don’t outsource your thinking. Use AI to clear your plate, not replace your creativity or intuition. Most people don’t actually want AI‑generated content. Doubling down on you strengthens your brand. 52 reps vs 0 reps Picture two people sending a newsletter every week for a year. Person A...
