    The highlights of this episode are:

    • 'Just having bad handwriting' isn't a thing
    • Why practicing consistently is good but not enough

    Prepare to take notes because in this episode we'll talk about the first time saving steps you need to take to start your Calligraphy business in a way that doesn't produce burnout and the mindset shifts you need. We give our opinions on when you're ready to start and inspiration and next step encouragement.

    If you're looking to take that first leap into a new Calligraphy business, this episode will give you the direction in what seems like a foggy path. We're looking to help Calligraphy mama's achieve their creative and financial goals.

    Prosperously, Joanna

    Hey Mama!

    In this episode we are reflecting on this year. What we love about our Calligraphy practice and what needs to be improved. This episode is a replay from episode 39. Calligraphy is all about going inwards and slowing down. Let's take the time to reflect on one of the top episodes of this podcast and reflect on what we can continue to learn from it.

    81 | Finish Your First Long Calligraphy Piece When You’re Constantly Interrupted And Afraid To Mess It Up (Complete Guide To Calligraphy Series)
    Dec 15 2025

    Hey Mama!

    You started a longer calligraphy piece : a quote, a prayer, or a meaningful passage but then felt your stomach drop?

    Even if you can do calligraphy, long pieces can feel nerve-racking. One mistake feels like it could ruin everything. Add in constant interruptions, and it’s no wonder so many moms stop before they really begin.

    In this episode, I’m walking you through a gentle, mom-friendly way to create long calligraphy pieces, even when your time is broken and your focus isn’t perfect.

    If you’ve been avoiding longer pieces because they feel stressful or intimidating, this episode will help you move forward with more confidence and peace.

    With Grace, Joanna
