Hi! I'm Åsa Strahlemo

I help people break free from uncertainty and step into clarity, confidence, and success—one step at a time using journaling as the tool.

It has been a while

Hi, It has been quite a while since I last wrote to you. Most of you originally found me through Transformative Journaling, while some of you came through one of my earlier AI or GPT projects. So if my name feels familiar but you cannot immediately place it, that is probably where we crossed paths. A lot has changed since then, including the direction of my work, so I thought it made more sense to properly reintroduce myself and tell you what I am doing now. I am Åsa, a social worker turned...

Hello, There was a friend I used to call whenever life felt loud. We collected years of notes and late night messages, the kind you send when you are not sure who you are becoming. Lately, the calls got shorter. We were talking past each other. I would share a win and feel a pinch of guilt in the silence. She would share a crisis and I would feel a pinch of resentment at the weight. There was no fight. No dramatic ending. Just the slow, honest realization that we were not walking the same...

Hello, There are days when the fog in my head feels impossible to clear. No matter how much I think, the answer won’t come. That’s when I turn to one of my simplest, most reliable journaling practices. I set a timer for 5 minutes and write one phrase over and over: “What I really want is…” Each time I finish a line, I write it again. The first few answers are usually surface-level: sleep, less stress, a clean house. But somewhere around the tenth or twelfth line, something deeper begins to...

Hello, In my kitchen, there’s a cupboard I almost never touch. It’s wedged above the fridge, and inside are things I’ve been keeping for years: a chipped mug, a bowl I never liked, an old teapot with a handle that burned my hand once. None of them useful, none of them beautiful, and yet there they sit. I tell myself, “I might need them one day.” But the truth is, I won’t. They take up space. They gather dust. And still, I hold on. It made me think about the other “cupboards” I carry. The ones...

Hello,Can you believe September is almost over? This month in these emails, you’ve learned: ✔ How to save hours on writing with AI ✔ Why you don’t need to be techy to build your own GPT ✔ Quick prompts to get unstuck and simplify your day ✔ The truth about AI myths (and how to use it your way) My hope is that you’re starting to see AI as less “scary robot” and more “friendly sidekick.” And if you want to keep building skills, experimenting with prompts, and actually enjoying your business...

Hello,When people talk about AI, the picture that comes up is usually scary: 🤖 Big robots stealing jobs. ⚡ Tech hype no one can keep up with. 💻 Complicated systems you’ll never understand. But here’s the truth for solopreneurs like us: AI isn’t here to replace you. It’s here to help you write posts faster, organize your ideas, and finally stop drowning in tabs. That’s the kind of support I created Ladies of GetBizBot for — a calm, clear, women-only space to explore AI without the overwhelm or...

Hello,Ever sat down to “create content” and… nothing? The cursor blinks, the page stays empty, and your brain suddenly decides it has no ideas. Here’s one of my favorite ways to break the block: 👉 Ask AI: “Give me 10 different angles to talk about [my topic] on social media.” Even if you don’t use all 10, one of them will spark something. You’ll have a starting point — and that’s all you really need. Next time you’re stuck, try it. It takes 30 seconds and can save you hours. Hope this little...

Hello,A few months ago, I found myself rolling my eyes at yet another “AI expert” shouting about 47-step systems, expensive tools, and how we all needed to “keep up or get left behind.” Here’s the thing: I love AI. But I also run a solo business — and I don’t have the time (or desire) to drown in jargon, overwhelm, or tech-bro energy. Maybe you feel the same? You know AI could help your business, but every time you try to learn, it feels more confusing than freeing. That’s exactly why I...

Hello, One of the biggest myths about AI is this:“You have to be super techy to build your own AI tool.” I used to believe it too. Until I tried. Here’s the truth: if you can write a clear set of instructions, you can build your own GPT. No coding. No jargon. No computer science degree required. That’s why I created GPT4Biz — a simple, step-by-step guide that shows solopreneurs, creatives, and coaches how to build their own GPT without overwhelm. Inside, you’ll learn how to: ✔ Decide what...

Hello, Six months ago, you were someone else. Maybe only slightly. Maybe in big, obvious ways. But something in you has shifted since then and it’s worth noticing. Even if it was a hard half of the year even if you feel behind or lost or tired you are still here and that matters more than any checklist ever could. So I invite you to imagine this a letter written from the you of today to the you who stood at the edge of this year not knowing what was coming. What would you say? Would you offer...
