A Mother’s Day Reflection from CRKT

Brea and her mom, Tamara, on April 30, 2026

There’s something we’ve been sitting with this week. Most of what shapes us…was never formally taught. It was modeled. How to stay steady when things get hard. How to figure something out instead of walking away. How to carry both care and grit at the same time.

We see that every day at CRKT. In the way people approach their work. In how ideas take shape; and get reshaped. In the quiet decisions that don’t always get called out, but move things forward. And more and more, in the women helping lead, build, and shape what this work becomes. That kind of influence doesn’t always get named. But you can feel it.

This Mother’s Day, we’ve been reflecting on the women who gave us that foundation; often without saying a word. The ones who showed us what it looks like to move through the world with confidence in hand. We pulled together a few songs that hold that feeling for us: CRKT's Mother's Day Playlist

Maybe one of these songs brings someone to mind. Maybe it brings you back to a moment you didn’t realize was shaping you. Either way, we’re holding a lot of gratitude today. For the women who raised us. For the women we work beside. For the women showing up every day; leading, building, figuring it out as they go.

We’re better because of you. Happy Mother’s Day.

With love,

Briea & Peggy
