In this episode, we sit down with futurist and visionary Lisanne Buik, founder of the Gracious AI philosophy. Lisanne shares her journey from tech entrepreneurship and burnout to receiving a transformative vision that reshaped her approach to technology.

Together, we explore:

• What it means to design technology with grace rather than control
• How feminine and masculine energies can balance in leadership and innovation
• The role of archetypes from nature—like fungi, water, and pollinators—in shaping our future stories
• Why agency, discipline, and embodied practices matter in our relationship with AI
• How storytelling and somatic intelligence can help us navigate between dystopian and regenerative futures

This conversation invites us to rethink not only how we use AI, but how we embody the values that guide it. Will we build technologies that deplete, or ones that regenerate? The choice is ours—and it begins now.
