Taking leave as a business owner can feel overwhelming — whether you're planning for maternity leave, a medical procedure, a family commitment, or an extended vacation. In this episode of Calligraphy Biz Corner, Shaochen shares exactly how she navigated maternity leave twice as a creative business owner, and what she'd tell anyone who wants to step away from their business. If you've ever wondered whether your business will survive while you're away, this episode is for you!

We'll talk about: 

Financial Prep:

  • Extending your cash runway
