Moms Who Claude

Somebody's birthday is this week and I don't know whose. Today: how I get everything nagging me out of my head by voice, in any order, and have Claude turn it into a short list with a date and a next step for every item. Plus the one honest thing Claude can't do for you.

"Which one is the regular bread?" If you've ever handed someone a job and then spent the next hour answering texts about it, this one's for you. Last episode we got the facts of your house into Claude. Today: same information, different reader. Three things you'll leave with: - How to hand someone a whole job, start to finish, instead of a piece of it - How to get Claude to a...

Every new chat used to start the same way. Six kids, ages one to ten. Two girls who won't touch sauce or spice. Allison typed that paragraph out before every single question, like a first date with the same person over and over. Claude already knew. It had known since episode one. This episode is about turning that off. How to stop reintroducing yourself to Claude, using the memory feature tha...

Eight forty this morning, cereal aisle, a full scene over a toy that doesn't exist anymore. That's the backdrop. The real episode is about something bigger: every answer you get — from Claude, from anywhere — is built for a generic person, and you're the one who edits it, on your own, to fit your real values every time. Today, the fix: hand over the filter first. One prompt, one added...

Thursday is impossible: two kids, two places, forty minutes apart, one car. I found that out on Sunday instead of at 5:15 on Thursday. This week: the whole week's driving sorted in one sitting, catching the day that doesn't work early, and putting all of it on the calendar I actually check. Prompt: I need this week's driving figured out. I have [number] drivers and cars, and [who else]...

Seven people at that table, and every one of them is getting paid to be there. They read the file on the clock. I read it at 11pm for free. This week: how to walk into a room full of professionals with a folder instead of a feeling — plus what to say when nobody quite says no. The prep prompt  — after you've attached last year's plan, the evaluation, emails and your own notes: I've got...

Our van sat at the dealership for 49 days. We had $7,000 in rental bills and an offer of $600, so we took them to small claims court. Bo isn't a lawyer. He prepped for two hours with Claude on a Saturday night, walked in with seven labeled exhibits, and won every dollar.

4pm dinner panic used to happen five nights a week. Same brain, same fridge stare, same "what do we have, who won't eat it, is it fast enough" — every single night. This week I solved it once. Sunday, coffee still hot, 15 minutes. Claude checked my real calendar first (connected back in Episode 3) — turned out every night had something after 3, but nothing ran past 5:30. Then five di...

Back-to-school week, four unrelated problems, one live episode. I merge six mismatched supply lists into one shopping trip, turn a pile of fall sign-up emails into one clean schedule, reset dinner/lunches/snacks for the school year, and send the teacher email I've dreaded since June — back to back, no staging. This is Episode 4 of Moms Who Claude, and it's a rescue — no prior episodes requ...

The camp calls: your kid needs their meds, and they're sitting right next to you. This week I connect Claude to my real Google Calendar, do the messy brain dump, and ask the two questions that catch what you forgot. The calendar was full — and still had a hole in it.

Managing a busy family schedule can feel like solving a complex puzzle, but what if you could simplify the chaos? In this episode, Allison shares her partnership with Claude to approach logistics and time management that transforms hectic days into seamless experiences. If you’re a parent struggling to juggle swim lessons, haircuts, and cheer practice, this episode is your roadmap to reclaiming sa...

In this episode of Moms Who Claude I solve the age old question— "what's for dinner" — using Claude, live, in real time, starting from my actual family's chaos. Picky eaters included. Then I show you the two things that make the difference between a useless answer and a plan you'll actually use. And then it's your turn. Prompt I used: It's 4pm on a Monday and I haven&...

Episode 0.4 — Is it safe? What Claude does with your words, and what you should never type in. The last setup episode. I answer the privacy question properly — what actually happens to what you type, what "memory" really means and how to control it, and the one simple rule for what to keep out of any AI chat (hint: it's the same rule as texting). Your challenge:  Open Claude and type...

Short episode, straight answer: start free. Claude's free tier is genuinely good — not a demo, not a trick, just the real tool with a usage limit. You'll know within a week or two whether the limit bothers you. If it does, $20 a month fixes it. If it doesn't, you never have to pay. Your challenge:  Go to claude.ai and make your free account. 90 seconds. No credit card. Next up (0.4 — t...

Everyone's got the same question after episode 0.1: WHICH AI do I actually use? In this episode I break down the three main ones — what each one is good at, what they actually cost, and which one to start with. Short answer: start with Claude at claude.ai. It's free, it's what this show uses, and it's where we're going to spend the next 20 episodes getting really good together....

Before we dive into using AI, let's talk about what it actually is — no jargon, no hype, no tech-bro energy. In this first episode I explain what AI is (and isn't), why it suddenly got this good, and the morning I hit a wall with a bunch of kids and a pile of life admin and finally, desperately, tried it. Nothing to do this episode except listen. Episode 0.2 drops next week — we're tal...
