vlog: WHY I DECIDED TO SLOW DOWN | Karin Bohn

[@TenTenJ]

Nice thoughts. And nothing wrong with the hustle, there’s a time for every season. Be happy with everything you’ve done, and don’t take down any of your videos just because you’ve downsized, they all serve a purpose. …she loves that forest sky, what a wonderful place to take a child.

[@KarinBohn]

Awe. What a nice comment - thank you so much. No, I won’t take down any videos… it’s such a great library to have!!

[@TenTenJ]

@@KarinBohn love you KB ❤️

[@KaterynaM410]

I feel like you've shown your audience a completely different side of your life and personality in this video and it's so precious and beautiful to witness

[@Justdoanne]

I've been watching you for about a year now and was (still am) inspired by you as a interior designer and businesswoman. Because of you I found my love for restaurant design. And believe it or not I got my first restaurant project (full project) 4 months of being full-time entrepreneur. But the thing I couldn't find myself in was the big team and so much projects while being a mom. It's not realistic and I appreciate it so much that you share the reality behind this chaos and not sugarcoating it. Thank you do much Karin. Because of you I find my niche and im really happy I found your channel. Take care, you are a boss mom and big hugs for baby madison

[@Natalie-rv6vw]

I admire this so much. We live in such a capitalist society that presses more, more, more. I appreciate how you’ve pushed against that and embraced the beauty of presence and slowing down. It’s amazing to realize that all you have is all you need and to live in that. I love that for you Karin!

[@nayelis_888]

No amount of money and success can replace the happiness that comes with slowing down, really enjoying the simple things in life and being present. At the end of the day, time is Irreplaceable. Im so happy for you and you look so happy.

[@BrandNewCherrelle]

Great to see you back Karin. I'm loving the life changes and you look genuinely happy. Baby Bohn is adorable how she's looking at us through the camera 😄💗

[@KarinBohn]

I’m so happy that you liked this vlog. Thank you for watching my content!! Isn’t Madison cute?!?! ❤️

[@brontec9769]

So lovely and beautiful. Enjoy every moment with little Madison. Nothing is more giving or demanding than being a mother. So rewarding and just pure bliss. As an older mum, I can say that it's the best thing there is. So happy for you and your little family.

[@kaseysmith5208]

Karin, thank you so much for this! I’m an entrepreneur of a design firm and also an expecting mother. I’ve been feeling guilt in intentionally slowing my hustle, and a bit of fear when it comes to pace change - but you are inspiring me to be present and enjoy rather than prove something to myself 🙏 I know it will be the greatest gift to my baby and myself to be able to slow down.

[@holamissmusica]

As long as you continue to enjoy making the vlogs we'll continue watching! 🙌🏾

[@deelawyer6638]

Karin I have been watching you all day. I remember saying a prayer for you and Chris and I haven't said congrats since your Princess arrived. Thanking God for your miracle. CONGRATULATIONS.

[@vitasporan566]

Soooo Good that you're slowing down. Keep taking care of yourself and your family. You'll never go wrong with that.

[@lucymoya7574]

Hi Karin! greetings from Guatemala! I loved this chapter and thank you for sharing what is like a day in your life! I loved walking with you on your hike with your baby and enjoyed the birds in the background. Also, thanks for sharing your makeup routine! Blessings and YES, please continue sharing with us more videos about you.

[@pascalegrenie977]

simple vlog is best! authentic, you! you're so inspirational!

[@KarinBohn]

Glad you liked this video. Thanks for watching! 🙏🏼❤️

[@haseena1001]

Hi Karin 🌸 Baby Madison is so cute, her expressions and looks while you were hiking in the forest were so adorable 👶🏻 We Live, We Learn, We Grow & We Change Nothing will ever erase or take away from the journey we have walked and brought us to this point in our lives. What we want, what we need, what makes us happy, content and fulfilled will change at different stages of our lives. New chapters and experiences make us stop, assess, analyse and evaluate, it will bring new perspectives and reflections and this in turn steers and guides us. We are where we need to be at any given time, this moment teaches us and waits patiently until we learn the lesson that we need to 💚 I am thrilled to see you thriving and happy, I have always been drawn to how authentic you are and look forward to seeing your new content. You are Amazing! Stay safe and well 💖👑

[@reneelatimer7687]

Hi Karin. Welcome back to KZbin! Congratulations on the birth of your beautiful baby girl Madison. 🥳I loved the tone and the feeling of these last two videos. I am loving the shift that has taken place (slowing down and being more in the moment). It is a nice contrast. I have been a follower since your first video. It's great to see this side of you. I remember when you had Samma and Corrina and Kristy on your team. We have one life. You should definitely slow down and enjoy it in the way that suits you best. Thanks for continually giving us such inspiring content!👌

[@ShaneaMichelleTV]

We miss you! I am happy to see how full your life is. You seem so happy and at peace.

[@lizjonas281]

This is great. I bet this feels so good to be able to be creative in another outlet that doesn't always require you to be everywhere and with so many people! I just moved from BC to have our first child near family across the country and have also downsized my life and taken time for myself. I am happy for you! Love your videos.

[@KarinBohn]

Awe. It’s so nice to hear that you can relate. Isn’t it great to slow down and live in the moment? Thanks for commenting!! ❤️

[@maria.kitsou]

First of all, we love whatever you love doing, so if this new style of vlog makes you happy, then keep them coming! About downsizing, seeing you so happy and calm, proves it was the right thing to do and baby Madison is such a lucky girl to have a mom like you! Whether you handle 26 projects at the same time or just 1, I'm sure that your office vlogs would be just as interesting and inspiring as always. How could they not be? This is still House Of Bohn! 💖

[@Leameana]

I love the off the cuff real vlogs. They are so relatable

[@happyu7942]

I admire and love Karin Bohn, such an inspiration!!!

[@papalutzin]

I love your honesty, as a woman, as a new mom... I admire you're courage and success. Keep enjoying you beautiful baby they grow so fast. 💕

[@Lovelebz]

Great job mama. You are doing incredible. Your a beautiful soul. Blessings and peace to your family. ❤️🌸

[@amlealegal]

Loved the last 2 videos. Please keep them coming, we are enjoying watching you evolve in this new phase.

[@viviantejada]

You literally look RADIANT the joy is oozing out of you 🤩

[@matthewkuzmic7762]

Hi Karen, you are such an inspiration to the world. I lived in North Shore in 4 yrs. Alway enjoy so laid back God’s country, till I saw your channels. You are such a focused and dedicated woman. Now your beautiful baby girl Madison is shifting your focus (more real and closing to your heart). Sometimes less is more, slowing down doesn’t mean less, just make us more focus on the important things in our lives. I love your channels, hustles and natures divided by lions gate are good balance:) go with your heart, I love what you are doing!!

[@monicaestes8503]

Love it! We should all slow down and just breathe in each moment. Life is hectic. This new style is just what we all need in our lives. Enjoy that precious new life. She is wonderful.

[@KarinBohn]

Thank you so much for watching my content. I’m so glad that you like it! ❤️

[@nancyspicer4337]

I my twenties I was going no where in every direction. During this time I suffered from 6 breakdowns. In my thirty’s it was doing the research to not repeat the patterns of my 20’s in my 40’s ❤ I am learning the quality of life and how to live it , it is my season. I paved the way to an amazing life ❤. You too !! In fact I love what u do. I am practicing and polishing my efforts as a surface pattern designer. Waiting patiently for a family of my own and to be able to work during the winter 🥶 and be inspired during the summer ❤thanks so much for sharing your platform and life it inspires me daily ❤❤❤

[@KarinBohn]

Big deep breaths, right?! It helps in any situation! ❤️

[@kimdudezki7272]

As a mother I scaled back from work best decision I’ve ever made enjoy every moment

Love seeing your face and catching up and also seeing how amazing you’re doing. Not going to lie I definitely enjoyed the more produced and edited videos in terms of production and entertainment but also the change is nice and feels more intimate ☺️

[@Mar-iy8il]

Hi Karin. I am a long time follower from Toronto and I have loved your video's. I find you are such an authentic and inspiring person and it has been lovely to see you change and grow. Congratulations on being a mother. It is the most important job you will ever have. I am so happy you are embracing slow living and taking the time to embrace motherhood and being a wife and just enjoying all the little moments. Having a spirit of gratitude is key to enjoying life. I embraced slower living while isolating from Covid with my daughter and it has been the best time. Best wishes. Keep up the videos when you can. xoxox Mar

[@paulaanncross-horton8317]

Hi!! You were indeed missed but we are happy that you have joined our mommy universe. Welcome hon!! Being a professional and a mom is not easy but is a welcome challenge for so many of us. I downsized when I became a mom as I stepped away from multiple responsibilities to focus on my daughter. Best decision ever. I still have a successful professional life but can clearly see the positivity of my decision in her as she grows. Downsizing is a reflection of inner peace with success gained and renewal of one's purpose moving forward. Take care.

[@KarinBohn]

I couldn’t agree more. Downsizing is a reflection of inner peace!! ❤️✨❤️✨

[@sarahdietz4]

so appreciate everything you're saying! Much love

[@corinacomar]

We love every content you vlog about, whether it is hustling, or slowing down, or mommy life. Keep making videos for us to see what life looks like as a mom and business woman. You are a role model to many of us and so inspiring! I aspire to be like you one day! 🤍

[@KarinBohn]

This is such a nice comment. Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️

[@zoravukovic1]

So lovely to see you in this new season Karin and to have witnessed your journey building your business! . Content we love to see, you're doing amazing 🫶🫶

[@evelyneshun]

EVERYTHING you said resonates with me .. life goes by so so fast.... nothing wrong with hustle, it builds character and certainly builds a business ..but when you do take a beat as you said to be 'present' ... it is amazing what you discover and how what you value changes...for the better ! ( covid was a gift for me personally to discover that ) CHEERS to you and keep up your vlogs, don't worry about making them glam etc etc. your genuine communication is all that you need to keep up. All the best to you !

[@monica4158]

I love this version of you Karin. Congrats on the baby, and it's wonderful to see Oscar again ❤I love the editing, very raw and authentic x

[@gugunatalie4140]

Yes South Africa! We love her!

[@69ingleton60]

Karen it’s such a blessing and joy to have you share your whole journey with us. The early mornings, late nights, travelling to and fro projects, photo shoots, vlogging, meetings, targets and deadlines ….. the list goes on. To have true love and to now to have created and given birth to another human being is just the icing on the cake and is just the BEST feeling and achievement!! The ultimate are feelings of gratitude, being aligned spiritually that gives confirmation that you are doing the right thing physically. Winding down a little to take more time for yourself. The positive energy that you exude will definitely transfer on to your beautiful daughter, Maddison who will have a calm and grounded upbringing. I continue to be inspired by your creative designs and sense of self. Continued blessings to your and you lovely family. Thank you! Coral Bailey💐

[@Kukishome]

Don't stop vlogging, just be yourself. In each path of your way you are an amazing inspiration. Hugs from Morocco 😘

I really love the message throughout this vlog 🥰 You’re so right! It’s so important to slow down, and just give time back to yourself! We only have one life to enjoy 🙏 I’m really happy for you, Karin. Excited for what’s to come for you and your family. ☺️💗

[@gracetan9935]

High-five sista! I’m also an interior designer and entrepreneur. First of all, you’ll forever be a gorgeous mama and wonderful interior designer, Karin. This is one bold decision to make as I have made mine 3.5 years ago when I had my first child. Totally can relate what you’ve gone through, the hustle, the multitasking like an octopus in the creative industry and now the self realization to take it slow and truly breathe the scents of life especially with this beautiful bundle of joy in your arms. Nothing else could replace the sheer joy of raising your own child and being in the presence with her, essentially over these first few early years of a baby’s life. We could be earning a little less but in return what we gaining are priceless and almost eternal :) Cheering you on and kudos on the efforts on keeping your vlogs going! I’m drooling all over for a backyard like yours.

[@elleofellemanagement526]

The more I watch KZbinrs, listen to peers, news etc pre-COVID we were wired machines literally! Once the slow down happened and we felt and adjusted to the peace of mind the world shifted in a good way. Of course it was a trying time (not taking that away from anyone whom lost someone during COVID🙌)! However, people changed jobs, slowed down and even moved such as myself. I moved from OH to FL and it was the best decision and I’m still running businesses 900 miles away at ease and peace🙏💪With that said take your time, enjoy this journey and new chapter and we’re here for the ride girl🚀 #teambohn
