Robin Peters of The Cooper Kettle Tea Bar On Being A Spirit-Fed Entrepreneur
“I come from a family of strong, inspiring women, each of whom has uniquely shaped my journey. My grandmother was a profound influence, passing down her entrepreneurial spirit that continues to guide me. On the other hand, my parents, instilled in me a zest for life and a deep appreciation for community and hospitality. My sister Sue, a true culinary genius, has an extraordinary talent in the kitchen. While I didn’t inherit her cooking skills, I developed strengths in operations, technology, and building connections with other business owners. These experiences have been instrumental in shaping our company and keeping us focused on our core mantra: “tea-ing”. It’s our essential process. From the very beginning, our philosophy has remained unwavering: we are a sanctuary of hospitality, inclusivity, and sacred connection. Our mission is to nourish the spirit, nurture the soul, and bring people together as a community.”
– Robin Peters and Sue Adams, co-founders of The Copper Kettle Tea Bar.
For me it is believing I am not the source , God is and he created us all with a uniqueness that is valued and important …what we call work. – Robin Peters, the co founder of The Copper Kettle Tea Bar.
Spirit-Fed Is The Personal Brand
Robin and Sue are compassionate and exceptional individuals who have successfully created a thriving and wholesome business. Robin Peters reflects on the philosophy of their tea room, stating, “For me, the tea room’s philosophy is a reminder to pause, slow down, and focus on what truly matters. Most workplace challenges or unexpected events are just temporary setbacks—they only become life-altering if I allow them to have that power.”
This insight from Robin highlights her emphasis on self-care as a crucial tool for maintaining balance and resilience in business. By prioritizing mindfulness and perspective, she demonstrates how entrepreneurs can navigate challenges more effectively and maintain their well-being in the face of adversity
Tips for Thriving as a Spirit-Fed Entrepreneur During Tough Times
Navigating life and business as a spirit-fed entrepreneur can be transformative and challenging, especially during difficult seasons. Here are practical ways to nurture your soul and sustain your enterprise:

Clarity Session
You know what they say: “necessity is the mother of invention — reinvention.” After years on the psychiatrist’s couch, countless masterclasses, and working with various coaches, I still felt like something was off. I was struggling—lost without a voice, a vision, and without a clear solution in sight.
Then came my life tsunami. It was through embracing spirit-driven teachings and the psychological tools of Dr. Nix, Ph.D., that I uncovered my true calling: Spiritual Personality Typing (SPT). This emerging typology is a roadmap to your authentic self, bridging your soul (higher consciousness) with your personality (the soul in action). It’s perfect for “audacious agers” and “business outliers” alike who desire to successfully weather these transformative times.
