Are you ready to finally earn flexible income teaching what you already love?
This is where you stop crossing your fingers about the future and start imagining a teacher life that includes steady, low-stress income (yes, it exists).
It's time to build the version of your career you secretly keep daydreaming about.
Let's break down what's stopping you
Your best teacher side-hustle ideas never make it out of your brain because…
 |
Selling worksheets isn’t your callingYou didn’t survive another PD on engagement strategies just to become a printable machine. |
 |
Teacher-influencer energy gives you the ickYou’re not trying to pretend your life is a highlight reel. You prefer reality… with snacks. |
 |
You're stuck in perfection quicksandIf your brainstorms don't feel "good enough", you send them to the land of abandoned sticky notes. |
"Forget starting a side hustle, this is sooo much better!"
I've always had ideas on how to create extra income, but I kept getting stuck in my own head. Catherine has gotten me unstuck and has shown me how all my ideas actually fit into one place - a community where I can help parents with their struggling middle schoolers!

resources you'll actually use
You'll also get *instant access* to Inner Circle Community Guidebooks
Tech Untangled
This is your “no wasted money, no newbie tech traps” guide — the one that keeps you from buying the wrong tools, clicking the wrong buttons, or spiraling into setup chaos before you’ve even begun.
It’s clear, calm, and confidence-building — the kind of guide that makes you say, “Oh… I can actually set this up and get people in here.”
AI Essentials
This is your “work smarter, not meltdown harder” companion. AI can handle the heavy lifting so you can be the human who leads, teaches, and actually enjoys your community.
It’s fast, friendly, and ridiculously simple — the kind of guide that makes you think, “Oh… this is how I’m supposed to be doing this.”
Quick Start
Consider this your “no overthinking, no procrastinating” path to momentum.
You’ll know exactly what to do in your first hour, first day, and first week. It’s simple, energizing, and wildly doable — the kind of plan that makes you feel like, “Oh… I’m actually building this.”

Create Your Own Paid Community, Teaching What You Love
LOVE HELPING STUDENTS READ?
Finally, get paid for the kind of reading guidance you’ve been giving after school for years
Imagine creating a weekly reading club for parents of struggling readers with book picks, discussion prompts, and easy family activities that help kids feel excited about reading again.
Nothing fancy, nothing overwhelming — just the same kind of support you already give, organized in a place families can return to whenever they need it.
Got IEP Experience?
Be the answer to all the IEP, BIP, and FBA questions
Sure, AI can explain Special Education alphabet soup, but it can't "read between the lines" of the notes sent home with sad faces, like you can.
You can cultivate the perfect tiny, yet mighty IEP support community that parents are seeking. No drama allowed.
Or... simply teach the thing you can’t stop talking about
Create your own Inner Circle doing what you love
You could host a sourdough club where everyone is comparing bubbly starters, a “shopping on a dime” community where your deal-finding magic becomes everyone’s favorite weekly win, or a book club where you lead deep discussions with laughter and lattes.
Nothing staged, nothing influencer-perfect — just the joy of sharing what lights you up, while people happily pay to be part of your community away from the drama of social media.

hey there, i'M CATHERINE KAHL
Mentor for teachers who've outgrown the system
SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHER TURNED SOLOPRENEUR WHO'S BEEN TEACHING ON MY OWN TERMS FOR OVER 25 YEARS.
I can help, because I've been there.
After growing up watching my mom fiercely advocate for my brother with Down syndrome, I became a Special Education teacher. I was fully convinced I was going to change the world from inside my classroom
But in my first year of teaching, I knew the system needed to be reimagined, and I tried so hard to fit myself into it anyway.
I color-coded. I overworked. I “good-teachered” myself into the ground. But the truth? I outgrew the system long before I ever admitted it out loud.
MY HEART BROKE EVERY TIME I COULDN'T BE THE TEACHER I WANTED TO BE BECAUSE OF THE SYSTEM.
Communities saved my love for teaching.
While I was still in the classroom, disability communities started inviting me in to teach about Special Education. I said yes every time. I poured out everything I had - unfiltered.
In 2014, I launched my own online IEP community — and it’s still going strong today.
And here’s the part that still feels like magic: creating a paid community didn’t just give me purpose… it gave me steady, sustainable income doing the work I was actually meant to do.
That’s why I’m inviting you into the Educator Inner Circle. Because I want you to feel that same ease, that same alignment, that same “oh… this is what teaching is supposed to feel like” moment.
CREATING RECURRING INCOME IS WHAT LET'S ME SLEEP AT NIGHT - EVEN WITHOUT THE SAFETY NET OF A SCHOOL SYSTEM PAYCHECK.
