Hey Butter Babes.đ
Can we have a real heart-to-heart for a minute?
Your girl has been struggling.
Mentally, it just hasnât been the easiest season. If Iâm being honest, Iâve been riding the struggle bus for a little while now. Between starting a new job with long days and commuting, juggling the bakery, and this time of year always bringing up emotions from our fertility journey⌠my anxiety has been louder than usual.
So I made a decision that wasnât easy.
I reached out to my City Babes and let everyone know I just couldnât mentally pour into our big 4th of July bash today and something happened I wasnât prepared for. They supported me, loved me, and told me that I mattered more than anything.đ
Whew⌠being that vulnerable is scary.
Not everyone understands what mental health struggles look like. Sometimes they donât come with warning signs you can see. But choosing to be open and honest instead of pretending everything was okay has reminded me just how incredible this little community truly is.
The love, grace, understanding, and encouragement you all have shown me has meant more than youâll ever know.
Taking this week away from markets has been exactly what my soul needed. Instead of rushing from event to event, Iâve been able to slow down, bake your orders with intention, enjoy the process again, and remember why I fell in love with this little butter dream in the first place.
To every single one of you who has ordered, shared a post, checked on me, or simply offered kindnessâŚ
Thank you.
You arenât just customers.
Youâre my Butter Family.
And if youâre reading this while quietly carrying something heavy, please know youâre not alone. If you need a friend, someone to listen, or just someone to remind you to keep going⌠my inbox is always open. We all need someone sometimes.
Thank you for trusting me with your orders, for supporting this little dream, and for reminding me that slowing down isnât failingâitâs healing.
Love yâall more than a warm cookie and a summer sunset. đ
Peace, love, butter, and better days ahead.
â Grace âď¸đ§â¨
