In today’s episode, I’m sharing my 11-year journey of building Crooked Calligraphy & how I blew up my life not just once, but twice along the way.

It’s time to change the narrative! Join me to learn how to separate your self-worth from your business failures, why we need to “normalize” failure, and just how many times I’ve failed on my business journey before Crooked Calligraphy!

I recently shared with my Calligraphy Biz Inner Circle members about a time I had a client so "disappointed" in my calligraphy that they withheld payment. I shared this not to teach them about payment standards, but to remind them that client’s opinions can be brutal. But at the end of the day, they are just that – OPINIONS. Join me as I share the advice I gave them about how to reframe your thinking and stop scrutinizing your work!
