Claude for Creative Biz Owners
The mindful AI workshop for business owners who have the ideas, the vision, and not nearly enough energy to execute it all alone.
You have the ideas.
You have the offers.
You just don't have the energy to do it all alone.
And you've tried AI — it looks like slop and drives you crazy.
Plus you have so much on your plate.
The never-ending to-do list. The failed AI attempts that sound like a corporate robot wrote them. The noise from scammy online gurus and tech bros telling you to do more, more, more — while you're just trying to keep up.
You're running a business with a body and brain that don't always cooperate, in a world built for people with unlimited bandwidth.
Here's what I want you to know:
You're not behind. You're not incapable. You're not bad at tech. Nobody's given you the actual instructions for making AI useful, ethical, and mindful — for *real* life.
That's what this workshop is for.
Let's name the elephant in the room.
This workshop is NOT about using AI to generate art, images, videos, or replace the human creativity that makes your work yours.
We use Claude as a tool — a thinking partner, a tech assistant, a tireless admin — so you can protect your limited energy for the creative work only you can do.
For chronically ill, disabled, neurodivergent, and low-capacity business owners, AI isn't a shortcut. It's an access tool. A lifeline. A way to keep up in a world that was never built for bodies like ours.
And using Claude doesn't replace supporting other small businesses — it makes you a better client. You still hire the designer, the coach, the copywriter, the VA. You just show up with clearer briefs, more specific asks, and better source material. You waste less of their time (and your money) because Claude helped you think it through first.
You are the artist. You are the expert. You are the source.
Claude is the scaffolding.
This Workshop Is For You If…
- You're a creative, artist, service provider, coach, consultant, healer, or any kind of small business owner running your show mostly solo
- You're living with chronic illness, burnout, neurodivergence, or just plain human-sized capacity — and you need systems that work with your reality
- You've heard AI could help but every tutorial makes your brain shut down
- You tried ChatGPT or Claude, got generic garbage, and quit
- You're curious about AI but also… a little worried about the ethics and want to use it thoughtfully
- You're drowning in the admin and marketing side of your business and something has to give
- You want to spend your energy on the work only YOU can do — not formatting bullet points for the 400th time
This Workshop Is NOT…
- A tutorial on using AI to generate art, images, or video. We don't do that here.
- A "replace yourself with AI" grind-culture pitch. This is about protecting your energy, not extracting more of it.
- A reason to stop hiring designers, coaches, copywriters, or VAs. Claude helps you be a better client — not eliminate them.
- A passive watch-and-forget course. You'll actually set things up during the sessions, or at minimum leave with a clear plan.
- A tech bro show. This is a workshop for real bodies, real brains, and real businesses.
What if AI actually worked for you?
Imagine opening your laptop on a low-energy day and having a thinking partner that already knows your business, your voice, your audience — and can draft the email, the slide deck, the sales page in minutes. In your words. Ready for you to edit.
Ethically. Mindfully. Without sounding like a bot.
Think With You
Not for you. You're still the brain.
Save Your Energy
For the work only you can do.
Sound Like You
Trained on your real voice.
Every week you keep doing it the hard way is another week of:
- Sales pages that never get published because you ran out of energy mid-draft
- Launches you shelve because the admin pile is taller than your capacity
- Paying for AI tools you don't actually use — because nobody showed you how to make them yours
- Watching other business owners move while you're stuck staring at a blank Google Doc
- Burning out on the parts of your business that were never the point
Two days of focused setup could change how the rest of your year feels.
Here's What We're Doing Together
Two live sessions. One smart, sustainable AI setup you'll use forever.
Set It Up Once. Use It Forever.
Day 1 is all about building the infrastructure — the stuff that makes every future AI task faster, better, and more in-your-voice. We'll cover:
- The mindset reset: AI as a tool, not a replacement (and how to talk about this with clients and audiences who are skeptical)
- Why Claude specifically — and what it can do that other AI tools can't
- Claude account walkthrough: free vs. Pro vs. Max, and what you actually need
- Projects — your business HQ inside Claude. We'll build one live.
- What to upload so Claude actually knows your business (voice docs, offers, audience, past content)
- Writing your Project Instructions — the #1 thing that stops Claude from sounding generic
- Skills — custom instructions Claude uses on demand for specific tasks
- MCP & Claude Cowork preview — letting Claude actually do the work in the background while you go live your life
Watch Things Get Made in Real Time.
Day 2 is hands-on. We'll generate real business assets live — and you work on what's most meaningful to you. Raise your hand, drop a question in the chat, and we'll troubleshoot your actual project together. We'll cover:
- The anatomy of a prompt that actually works (context > cleverness)
- The "give it a role, give it a goal, give it the goods" framework
- Training Claude on YOUR voice — upload transcripts, emails, past posts
- Generate a one-page website in under 5 minutes (and host it)
- Create slide decks / PowerPoints in 5–10 minutes
- Sales page copy for an offer
- Ad copy, ad headlines, reel hooks, substack outlines
- Customer pain point research — find out what your people are actually struggling with right now
- Competitor research — positioning gaps, differentiators, what they're doing you're not
- Customer service reply templates
- Project management for low-energy brains — breaking a big launch into doable chunks
- Live "office hours" — bring your project, get real-time coaching
What You'll Walk Away With
- A Claude Project fully set up with your business voice, offers, and audience — so every future prompt starts 80% of the way there
- A repeatable system for getting usable first drafts on your lowest-energy days
- At least one tangible business asset built live in class (landing page, slide deck, email, ad copy — your choice)
- Clarity on what to delegate to AI and what to keep sacred (so you never feel like you're "cheating" or losing your voice)
- A "Voice Skill" or reference doc that makes Claude write like you — not like a corporate bot
- Time-tested prompt templates you can use for marketing, sales, customer service, research, and planning
- Replay access to both sessions — rewatch as many times as you need
- Workshop notes and reference docs, organized so you can pause, rewind, and come back later
Hi, I'm Katie.
I have 30 years of website-building experience and spent a decade as a marketing agency executive leading a team of 60. I channeled all of that into building Inner Peace Art Studio from scratch — while managing chronic illness — and I've been teaching artists and creative business owners how to do the same ever since.
I'm also a 2026 Global Arts in Medicine Fellow and a Master's student in Arts in Medicine at the University of Florida.
I started using Claude as a tool to keep my business running on the days my body said no. It changed everything. Not because it replaced my creativity — but because it finally gave me somewhere to offload the tasks that were burning me out and keeping me from the work I actually love.
This workshop is me sharing exactly how I use it, what works, what doesn't, and how to do it ethically and sustainably. No hype. No tech-bro energy. Just the real system I use to stay in business with a body that doesn't always cooperate.
Real Questions From People Like You
I've never used Claude (or any AI). Will I be lost?
Nope. Day 1 starts with account setup and the basics. I'll share my screen and walk through every click. If you can send an email, you can do this.
I'm worried about the ethics of using AI. Is that covered?
Yes — we talk about it directly. What AI is for in your business, what it's NOT for, how to be transparent with your audience, and how to use it in a way you can feel good about. I'll share my own ethics framework and you can adapt it to yours.
What if my energy tanks and I can't make it live?
Replays are available the same day. You can watch at your own pace, pause, and come back. This is IPAS — no one falls behind. Ever.
Do I need a paid Claude account?
You can get started on the free plan. We'll talk about when (and if) Pro or Max makes sense based on how you're actually going to use it. No pressure to upgrade to do this workshop.
I'm worried AI will make my writing sound fake.
That's the #1 thing we solve in Day 2. When you train Claude on your voice (your past emails, your transcripts, your posts) and set up your Project correctly, the outputs sound like you — because they're built from you. You're always the final editor. Claude just gets you to "first draft" way faster.
Is this going to be technical and over my head?
No. If something is technical (like MCP), I explain it in plain language and show you what to do, not just what it is. Day 1 is heavier on setup. Day 2 is all hands-on generation. Both sessions are designed for people who are NOT techy.
What kinds of businesses is this for?
Artists, creatives, coaches, consultants, healers, teachers, facilitators, therapists, writers, service providers — anyone running a small or solo business. The principles apply across the board. We'll use real examples from a range of business types during the live sessions.
Will we actually BUILD things in class?
Yes. Day 2 is live generation. Landing pages, slide decks, sales copy, ad copy, customer research — you'll work on what's most useful to you and raise your hand when you want help. Bring a real project.
Here's Everything You Get
The full stack — at a price that makes this a no-brainer.
★ Art Biz Collective members — this workshop is included in your membership. Check your member portal for the registration link.
If all this did was…
…get one sales page written that you've been putting off for months —
it would pay for itself the first week.
…save you two hours a week on admin, email, and marketing drafts —
that's over 100 hours of your life back this year.
…help you finally launch the thing you keep shelving because the prep is too much —
it could change what the rest of your year looks like.
All of that, for $197 $47.
The work you want to do is still yours.
The ideas, the art, the vision, the relationships with your people — those are yours. They always will be. This workshop is about getting the other stuff — the sales pages, the slide decks, the admin, the customer research, the tech — out of your way so you have energy left for the things that matter.
You don't have to keep doing it all alone.
