He Woke Up From Surgery and Got on a Conference Call
Yesterday morning I had a routine procedure — nothing major, but it did involve hospital gowns, IVs, and being sedated before breakfast. The usual glamorous stuff.
As I was waking up in the recovery room, still a little loopy and trying to remember what year it was, I heard the man in the next bed — separated by one of those thin hospital curtains — start talking.
Not to the nurse.
Not to his spouse.
To his office.
On a conference call.
Ten minutes after he woke up.
“I’m sorry I had to turn off the camera,” he said. “I’m in a hospital bed.”
I kid you not.
That was the moment I felt a wave of pure gratitude wash over me (well, maybe that was the anesthesia, but still). I realized how deeply thankful I am to work for myself.
No boss. No required meetings. No guilt for recovering.
Just my husband driving me home and a cozy day of rest ahead.
And the best part? I was still visible online… thanks to a little AI magic.
If you saw my video yesterday — the one of me lying in bed, looking radiant and peaceful with perfect hair spread on the pillow — well, I have a confession.
That wasn’t me.
It was my AI twin.
I created the images and video before the surgery using FaceForward AI so I could still show up for my audience without showing up as the post-sedation version of myself. It worked a little too well.
My own mother messaged me to say how great I looked and how happy she was that the procedure had gone so smoothly.
She had no idea it wasn’t me.
So here’s what I want you to know:
You don’t need to be perfect, polished, or even present in real time to grow a powerful, profitable brand online.
And if you’re ready to build a business that works around your life — not the other way around — I want to invite you to The Online Income Playbook Summit.
You’ll learn exactly how to:
Start a business with what you already know
Market yourself in a way that feels aligned and authentic
Scale without burning out (or hopping on Zoom from a hospital bed)
With 20+ expert interviews, free resources, and zero fluff — this summit will show you how to create real income on your terms.
Rest, flexibility, and creative control are not luxuries. They’re what happens when you build your own path.
Now… if you’re curious how I made my AI twin so convincing it fooled my own mother, here’s the link to FaceForward AI — the tool I used to create the hospital images and videos.
It’s scary good.
And yes, they give 70% commission if you want to share it with your audience, too.
But first, let’s get your business up and running — with or without the glam hospital glow.
