How To Use Your “Time Confetti” To Feel Less “Time Famished”
“Most people think that taking up a new hobby or activity will TAKE TIME. But, what if it actually CREATED time by re-arranging your priorities?” - Shinah
Who has ever said, “I’d LOVE to do that – but I have no time!”
We’ve ALL said it, felt it, and truly meant it.
Time is fleeting in today’s world - we’re constantly running from point A to point B, being a slave to our to-do list of ‘highly important’ tasks. We’re “time famished” – constantly looking to squeeze a few more minutes out of our day.
What if I told you that instead of feeling time famished, you could find more spaciousness in your life by using your ‘time-confetti’ in a way that allows you to find those extra moments in the day? And in turn, having the time to do those things that once seemed impossible to fit in!
Join me in this episode of “The Shinah Show” as I discuss:
What “time confetti” is and why it will blow your mind
Why our priorities are totally out of whack, and how we actually end up using our time (*spoiler alert* not in the most productive of ways!)
How finding the right creative outlet for you can CREATE more time and spaciousness in your life, so you aren’t trying to scrounge up a few minutes here and there
I’m excited to show you how you can take control of your time, and finally be able to find activities that light you up. You’ll find yourself eager to get back to them that you’ll magically find more free time throughout your day.
HEY YOU!!! We’re HALFWAY through 2024 (I can’t even believe it!). Did you know that if you started RIGHT NOW working towards building a successful creative business and being your own boss, you could achieve it – all before we ring in 2025?

THE MANIFESTO (aka “What I believe in fiercely”):
There are so many of us out there…
Incredibly capable, ridiculously smart, deeply caring, brimming-with-love women…
Spending most of our precious life force trying our damndest to be “good”
The kind of badass women…
Who ace all our classes, and outwit anyone who dares to debate with us.
Who think ahead and run the big deals behind the scenes.
Who can see the logical flaws and ego-driven decisions of the men in charge.
Who are sharp and funny and anxious and can get shit done.
Who only cry when no one is looking.
Who have locked away the vulnerable little girl parts of us who used to squeal with laughter and desire hugely and stomp our feet in anger.
All of that magnificent energy…
Poured into jobs where our competency is taken for granted.
Channeled towards buying houses in a good school districts and being temperate partners and solid mothers.
Directed towards everything we need to “improve” - our screen time, our belly rolls, our sleep hygiene, the attention our children need, the affection our partners deserve.
We’re screaming inside.
THERE HAS TO BE MORE TO LIFE THAN THIS!
All our power and creativity and brilliant ideas, like trapped steam powering an engine on a train heading towards an empty promise. Sometimes, the scream of rage and frustration escapes our bodies and the people around us stare in shock. “That’s so unlike her…” And we have to feel sorry for that, too.
Imagine if we felt even 10% more liberated to feel our desires, to focus on the people we want around us on our deathbeds, to be wild and unhinged and adventurous, to support the causes that sing to us…
Imagine how much that would change the world. We brilliant women, starting an inner revolution of self-trust and boundaries, showing our daughters and sons how to be strong and tender.
I am just one brilliant woman.
And, if I had stayed locked on the path I thought I had to take - corporate lawyer on the “diversity” and “women’s leadership” committees, mother of two, compulsive exerciser and intermittent faster, owner of a big house in a nice neighborhood… I would have had a pleasant life, maybe.
But my heart would have always beat out the question “what else… what else?” I would have realized too late that there’s only this one life we get to craft.
I took a jump and left law and started a calligraphy business… and as a result, I nudged thousands of women a little further towards their curiosity. I showed the 100K+ people who follow me that a different life path is possible. That taking it is hard, that it forces you to face all your darkest parts, but if you’re willing to experience that… the world opens up in ways you could never imagine.
Except now you CAN imagine it.
You can start to glimpse a world outside of your cozy walled garden. It’s wilder and riskier and so much more ALIVE.
Let’s take back our LIFE FORCE. We have so much of it and it’s the most precious thing in the world.
Let’s stop giving it away to power an engine to nowhere. Imagine what we could power instead.
