What if I told you I sat on something for years that I REALLY wanted to do - but the fear overwhelmed me?

As comfortable as I look online ... more

Shinah’s podcast has been such a gift for me while trying to figure out what my calligraphy journey/career will look like. Her podcasts are the perfect length - with bite sized things you can easily take action on. The perfect podcast to help any recovering perfectionist (like myself!) She is so generous with everything she offers so freely! Thanks Shinah!!
I’ve been following Shinah since the beginning and she is so inspiring. As an art teacher, this episode of Creative Business Real Talk really stayed with me.
It reminded me how often we (and our students) wait to feel “ready” before creating, when in reality, growth happens through the doing. That message of not needing to wait felt just as important for my classroom as it did for my own creative journey.
Such a good reminder to keep showing up, imperfectly and honestly.
Love Shinah’s awesome blend of “I know where you’ve been” empathy and her savvy business growth acumen! Thank you for showing us what is possible!
I just played the moving goal post episode by chance and it was so timely for me hear that content. What Shinah shares is so honest and relatable and they always boost my mood.
Thanks Shinah for helping us focus on the big picture. It’s so key for us with a corporate job and kids.
