“I actually don’t set an alarm in the morning. I just kind of wake up naturally whenever I want to wake up.”
- Shinah
SUMMARY:
I’m Shinah, a former corporate securities lawyer turned full-time calligrapher and calligraphy teacher.
My entrepreneurial journey could not have surprised anyone more than it surprised me.
Look — I practiced the most boring type of law imaginable before launching my business, Crooked Calligraphy, five years ago. I’d never really considered myself creative, or entrepreneurial, or an artist.
I wound up studying and practicing law because I thought that’s what I had to do. And once I was officially a lawyer, I thought that was it — I was stuck in this career that didn’t totally fulfill me or light me up… for the rest of my life.
I am here to tell you: I was NOT stuck… and neither are YOU.
Your brain may be telling you that your dreams are out of reach.
That you won’t be able to make money or support yourself by following your passion.
That the risk of taking that leap into trying to build your ideal life is way too high.
And that’s why I am launching this show. I want to explain how I made the transition, share the lessons I’ve learned along the way, and support you in your own journey to building the creative life that you’ve always wanted.
