Can you tell me a bit more about yourself and how your journey led you to where you are today?

Dawn Fable: As a working mother of 3 young kids and trying to balance what I call ” my own beautiful disaster” I struggled with generalized anxiety. Like many of us, I was disenchanted with the side effects of prescription medication and found CBD to be life changing in reducing my anxiety and allowing me to be more present in my life. I set out on a mission to educate women around the healing benefits of CBD and create Press Pause Project.

Can you please tell me a little about your business? 

Press Pause Project is a ritualistic and lifestyle wellness/CBD line for women. Our products address 4 pillars of women’s wellness. Mental Wellness, Physical Wellness, Hormonal Wellness and Sexual Wellness. Throughout our products, community and narrative, we want to educate women around the benefits of CBD as well as give women the Permission to Press Pause.
