Funny enough, I was in a similar situation a few years ago. I was working in marketing and slowly realized I was more curious about the analytics side than the creative part. What helped me was breaking things into small steps instead of trying to “become an AI specialist” overnight. I started with basic Python and online courses, then joined a couple of communities for women in tech. I also found this article really practical https://www.womentech.net/breaking-ai-ml-tips-tech-savvy-women-2025 — it talks about realistic ways to move into AI and ML without burning out. For me, the key was building small projects and connecting with people who were already in the field.
