Evelyn Ratcliffe: AI Hype & Ditching Corporate BS

In this episode of The Ridiculously You Podcast, our host Julie May sits down with Evelyn Ratcliffe, AI Strategist, for a conversation that cuts right through the corporate noise and tech hype. Evelyn spent twenty-five years navigating the tech world, running on stress and silence until she realized shrinking was no longer an option. When her boss refused to fund her MIT Sloan AI certification, she paid for it out of her own pocket, choosing a complete rebellion against shrinking into corporate expectations. Julie May and Evelyn Ratcliffe dive into the messy parts of parasocial AI traps, exposing how female entrepreneurs are targeted by algorithms built to validate rather than connect. They dismantle the garbage-sauce habit of outsourcing your intuition, healing, or business decisions to tech products. Evelyn shares how owning her loud thoughts and zero-patience for nonsense became her ultimate superpower. This episode is your permission slip to stop editing the parts of yourself that make you magic and trust your own mind. You will walk away with real-world AI strategy insights, practical boundaries around tech, and the courage to claim your financial power without waiting for permission.
