In this powerful and joyfully candid episode of Empowered by AI, Michelle speaks with Halima Muhammad, Creative Director, AI artist, and founder of halimamuhammad.com, about what it means to reimagine your identity—and your career—through AI-driven creativity. Halima shares how losing a job and facing personal burnout led to a breakthrough that transformed her into a sought-after digital artist and coach for women creatives.

Drawing on inspiration from Psycho-Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz and her own lived experience, Halima opens up about AI as a tool for emotional healing, artistic expression, and legacy building. From AI brand visuals to virtual assistants to her "visual drops" for non-creatives, she reminds us: your story, your culture, and your magic all belong in the AI space.
