Hi, I’m Kristin

the mom behind the laptop

I started my business to have more time with my kids. Not to be glued to my laptop.

Two things I ever wanted to be: a teacher, and a mom. When I left the classroom to build this business from home, the promise was simple: be there for practices, pickups, the ordinary afternoons. More presence, not less.

What actually happened? The laptop came everywhere with me. So did my phone. I’d be sitting at the game, half-watching, half-thinking about the course that wasn’t finished: worrying, calculating, never quite off the clock. I got the business. I almost lost the thing I built it for.

Where it started

I worked my tail off to become a teacher, then I became a mom.

I graduated in four and a half years and landed a kindergarten teaching job before I even finished my degree. Two years later I had my first child while finishing a Master’s degree and another teaching certification. I was doing it all, the way I thought I was supposed to.

Then I did the math every working parent does eventually: the job I loved was going to cost me the thing I wanted more. I wanted to be a present mom and a professional one. Staying in the classroom meant picking.

Where it went sideways

I built a business to get my time back. Then I handed it right over to the business.

This is the part most people skip over. I didn’t open my laptop less once I was working for myself. I opened it more. All hours of the day. My phone too, checking emails between innings, answering messages at the dinner table I swore I’d be present at.

What it actually looked like

Physically at the game, mentally still in my inbox.
Constantly thinking, constantly worrying about the business, even on the good days.
A course that never quite got finished, because there was never a real stopping point.
The exact thing I left teaching to avoid, just in a different outfit.

What I wanted instead

A business that ran without living in my head rent-free.
Course creation that didn’t demand my evenings and weekends.
To close the laptop and mean it.
Effective work, not just efficient hours. I didn’t want to sacrifice the quality of what I taught to get time back.

The course I kept putting off

I knew exactly how much of my life a course would take. So I kept saying “later.”

I help people build courses, and I still put off my own. Not because I didn’t know how, but because I did. I knew what it would ask of me: the designing, the recording, the editing, the launching. My business had already taken plenty of my family’s time, and I wasn’t willing to hand over more.

Then I started building with Claude, and it took months off my timeline. The time barrier, the thing that had kept me stuck, was suddenly smaller. I could grow my business without taking more from the people I started it for.

If you’re a mom who started a business and keeps putting off the course because of what it will cost your family, I know that feeling. It’s a very good reason to wait. It just doesn’t have to be the reason you stay stuck.

fast isn’t the same as effective

A GPS that gets you there in half the time is no help if it takes you to the wrong town.

Claude is the fast part. The way your course is designed is what makes sure you arrive somewhere worth going: a course your students can actually get results from.

That’s why I never wanted speed on its own. Time saved only matters if the course works.

What I built because of it

So I built a system in Claude. Not to cut corners. To cut hours.

I didn’t want a shortcut that made my courses worse. I’d spent over a decade in education and curriculum design; I knew what made a course actually work for students, and I wasn’t willing to trade that away for speed.

So I built a system inside Claude that does the heavy lifting of designing, creating, recording, editing, and launching a course, while keeping the teaching instinct that makes a course effective. The result is the Course Creator AI Playbook: the same curriculum strategy I used for ten years in the classroom and with hundreds of course creators since, just faster to execute.

That’s the whole point now. Not working less because I care less, but working smarter so I can actually be where my kids are, instead of just physically present with my mind somewhere else.

Where I am now

I’m still a mom who gets it. I just close the laptop a lot more now.

I help course creators design, build, and launch effective courses with Claude, without losing their evenings and weekends to do it. Most of them are moms in the thick of it, same as me.
