Finally Pressing Pause - An Entrepreneur & Mother's Story

Finally Pressing Pause - An Entrepreneur & Mother's Story

Gosh I didn't think it would be this hard.

The inner turmoil I have been battling for a good year; and in all actuality the turmoil I've faced since being pregnant 6 years ago. I didn't know how to "turn it off"—the desire to work, create, serve in the creative ways that I do. 

To be an entrepreneur was always my dream—or at least that was the story I told myself.

I couldn't shut off, amidst stepping over the threshold to motherhood, my internal urge to create—and yet my motherhood has required more of me, much more, than I often worry, I possibly have to give.  

So here I am today, sharing that I am finally—FINALLY—pressing pause on business. 

Mother Butter is still Mother Butter, she's simply sold out and I cannot commit to when she'll be back. Or when I will.

While I am still processing all of the many lessons within this particular entrepreneurial chapter, I find it funny that none of them are about business. It's about me, my family, my values, my grief, my capacity. I am simply getting a lot more honest with myself; the harder truths. Perhaps this means wiser.

Serving you and developing this beautiful product is still such a sweet dream. I pray that the power of the pause will return someone stronger one day. I promise to let you know when that day arrives.

xo, Kristin

I just sent you a msg on your my account page with Mothe-Butter, came to your website and confirmed wha I suspected through your Pressing Pause statement. Still wishing you and your family as smooth a journey as possible with the challenges you are facing. I know I won’t be able to recreate the true Mother Butter product that you make but I will try at least once to blend up some version of it’s delicious taste for my morning Mother Butter Toast w/plain greek yogurt on top and a drizzled Agave. Please do keep my contact if and when “the real deal” makes it return.

OMG, I fell in love with your product when I found it in a natural food store I was visiting in Rio Grande, NJ 2 weeks ago. I was just going to order 2 jars now that I’m back home in Kauai, and you are gone. Only 1 day ago. Why didn’t I order sooner???? Wahhhh. If you EVER start up again please keep me on your mailing list. I’ve ground my own nut butters before but your blend was SO satisfying and delicious, I doubt I could copy it. Blessings, no matter what!
