Rest and Regeneration in your Creative Business

I took 2 allergy pills, passed out for most of the day... and it was still good for my business.

This episode is my honest, unfiltered check-in on where I'm at after a hectic year and a wildly successful Summit - and why I'm choosing rest over hustle right now, even with a Challenge coming up in September.

In this episode:

  • The unglamorous truth about my "day off" - mosquito bites, allergy pills, and a nap that turned into an entire day

  • My "Permission Slip" philosophy - motivation goes up and down, business goes up and down, and none of it means something's broken

  • "Regenerative Business" - why fallow seasons are doing just as much work as busy ones

  • Does turning calligraphy into a business change your relationship with it? My real answer

If you're in your own summer slump (or regenerative season) right now, this one's for you.

ABOUT CROOKED CALLIGRAPHY

Hey - I'm Shinah! A former miserable corporate lawyer turned sassy calligrapher and teacher. Ten years ago, I was WISHING I could create beautiful calligraphy but feeling really un-creative and LOST about how to achieve that... and now I truly believe that ANYONE can learn this beautiful craft - because I've already taught it to THOUSANDS of people, from all different backgrounds.

Calligraphy has given me a gorgeous life. It's helped my students find PASSION, PURPOSE, and a reason to JUMP OUT OF BED each morning. What could it do for you? =)
