“I was raised to think that there was only one path that I could take… the traditional corporate path.”

- Shinah

So, how exactly does someone with absolutely zero business or artistic training launch and grow an almost-million-dollar business as a creative entrepreneur? 

If I hadn’t done it myself, I’d be just as confused as you!

In this episode, I dive more deeply into the nitty-gritty details of how I transformed from an unhappy corporate securities lawyer to an unsure wannabe creative entrepreneur to a wildly successful calligraphy artist and teacher who loves what she does.

(And since I love breaking things down, we’re going to tackle my story in three parts!)

My story starts back in childhood. I grew up with the idea that there was one path I needed to take in order to be successful. You know the one: study hard, get straight As, get into the best school I could, and land a prestigious job and financial stability.

As you can probably tell, perfection was a major theme during that period of my life.

To be honest, it never even occurred to me that there were other ways to be truly successful. I never really stopped to think about what I actually wanted my life to look like.

So, I took that path. I went to Harvard, got my law degree, landed the job… and felt completely miserable.

Until I decided to do something about it. 

The rest of the story? You’ll have to listen to find out!

Tune into this episode of The Shinah Show to find out:

• What finally pushed me onto the path of creative entrepreneurship  
• What I needed to do (and stop doing) in order to grow my business to $900k per year  
• Why it’s totally okay to not love EVERYTHING about running your business

Mindfulness is hard. I mean, how many of us struggle to clear our minds without falling asleep or feeling a compulsive need to write a to-do list?

Angie Bailey knows this, and that’s why she’s so passionate about teaching her skill to others. 

As a burned-out nurse at her wit’s end, Angie needed something to focus her reeling mind. Fortunately, she found it. And now, Angie teaches the creative practice she discovered to help others gain mental peace.

It’s called Calming Calligraphy, and in just 10 minutes a day, Angie teaches you how to get the relaxation and self-care you need – with a pen and paper.

So if you need more self-care, focus and creativity in your life, or if self-judgment holds you back from trying the things you want to do, this is a great episode for you.

Because Angie believes that art can heal, and through a calligraphy practice, you can calm your mind, spark your creativity and create beautiful art in the process. To learn more from Angie, join us in The Creative Commute Facebook group at 11 a.m. CST on Wednesday, March 24.

Join Angie's Facebook group, Calming Calligraphy or follow her on Instagram @angiebaileyartandsoul.
