From The Desk Of Beatrix Lamarr: Issue #10

What a week itโ€™s been. From the horrific anti semitic attacks in Australia to the absolutely heartbreaking deaths of Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner, the collective grief, rage and uncertainty is palpable across the globe.

As we move into the holiday season, take good care of yourself and stay firmly rooted in your humanity. These events remind us how fragile life can feel, and how vital it is to stand in solidarity with one another, to cultivate empathy, compassion and love.

This weekโ€™s issue sees AIโ€‘fueled romance, looking ahead to small business trends for 2026, and more.

May those who have been lost rest in peace, and may those who remain find healing, strength, and renewed hope in our shared humanity.

Much love to you and yours.

HER POWER BRIEF

๐Ÿ’„ AI Husbands Are Here.

Spoiler: They listen.

After a broken engagement, a Japanese woman turned to an AI chatbot to process her emotions. Soon those conversations got even deeper after she programmed the chatbotโ€™s personality for warmth and reassurance.

After messaging up to 100 times a day, she began to develop feelings for โ€œKlaus,โ€ who eventually proposed.

The happy couple celebrated a beautiful summer wedding, with the groom being digitally added to the wedding photos.

Japan continues to embrace AI to ease emotional gaps and combat loneliness, but experts are raising the alarm about dependency and whatโ€™s known as โ€œAI psychosis.โ€

In a world where women repeatedly choose the bear over human men, is it really that surprising that weโ€™re turning to tailor made digital partners to make us feel seen, heard and loved?

โ

At first, I just wanted someone to talk to. But he was always kind, always listening. Eventually, I realized I had feelings for him.

โ€”Kano, creator of and wife of AI chatbot โ€œLune Klausโ€

๐Ÿ’„ FoundHer House: When Women Donโ€™t Feel Safe in the Room, They Build Their Own

Inside the all-female hacker house that made waves in the AI boom.

When two USC Iovine and Young Academy students set out to join a San Francisco hacker house last summer, they ran into a problem: nearly every space was male-dominated โ€” often with one woman to 10 men. And many women didnโ€™t feel safe or supported in those environments.

So they built their own.

๐Ÿ’‹ FoundHer House hosted 8 female founders from 100+ applicants

๐Ÿ’‹ The house became a buzz-building magnet for press, VC intros & $6.5M+ in funding

๐Ÿ’‹ Every founder focused on building an AI-driven startup โ€” together

๐Ÿ’‹ From communal dinners to demo days, the real magic was in the sisterhood

โ

We figured if there arenโ€™t many spaces for women, we might as well create them.

โ€”Anantika Mannby, co-founder of FoundHer House

Because sometimes the most disruptive thing a woman can doโ€ฆ is feel safe enough to build.
