Using AI to Unleash Your Creative Magic, with Marisol Rios, The AI Witch
listen wherever you get your podcasts:
What if AI could help you discover your artistic voice instead of stealing it? In this episode, Erika sits down with Marisol Rios—also known as The AI Witch—to bust the myth that AI is cheating or soulless. Marisol is a branding expert, AI educator, and creative visionary who guides neurodivergent, witchy women entrepreneurs to blend Mexican ancestral wisdom with cutting-edge tech. She shares how she went from thinking AI was "trash" to building her entire creative practice around it, discovering her unique artistic style through MidJourney, and even vibe-coding an app for her gorgeous affirmation card deck.
This conversation gets into the messy, magical intersection of creativity, spirituality, and AI—and why finding your people in this space changes everything.
Key Themes:
Why the "AI is cheating" narrative is BS—and how Marisol discovered her true artistic style through AI, not despite it
How she intentionally trained MidJourney to create diverse, representative imagery for the SheLeads AI brand (because stock photos have always been biased)
The power of using AI as a collaborator, not a replacement—affirmations, visual art, app development, and soul work all powered by prompts and intuition
Why community is everything when you're learning AI—find your coven, your society, your crew
How to use AI to visualize your future self and actually believe it's possible (hint: dump your wildest dreams into ChatGPT and let it help you map the path)
