          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.

          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

                I just opened up my Fix Your Child’s Handwriting Audit for the month of July.

                It's my Voxer audit where I actually look at how your child is writing and give you clear steps to improvement, age appropriate guidelines and show you your child Handwriting Type.

                 

                Instead of getting 15 different responses to your handwriting questions, you’ll get:

                ✅ What your child actually needs and prefer during handwriting practice

                ✅ An expert encouraging eyes who believes every child can write beautifully

                ✅ How to know when your child have a challenge that needs further intervention

                 

                Give your child the gift of an audit that could change they write the rest of their lives ⬇️
