Celeste
My name is Celeste Morris,
Bradley
and we have over here to our side drawing pictures who’s gonna make the occasional cameo appearance when he feels so called and inspired. What is your name over there?
Sauryn

Bradley
Booya. So welcome to our first episode of the Majik Parents Podcast. We are the founding family of Majik Kids, where we produce the most magical audio stories, illustrated books, music, imagination meditations, and learning activities for your magical kids. We’re creating this podcast for parents like you that wanna live more magical, connected, imaginative lives with your kids, as well as for all of you homeschoolers out there that are seeing what’s happening in the education space and realize that there could be a better way of teaching, inspiring and supporting your kids to blossom into the best versions of who they’re here to be on planet Earth.
Sound fun. Yeah. Are you ready? Definitely. Yeah. Alright, so in this episode, it’s kind of like the get to know ya. We’re sipping here, we’re drinking some matcha tea. We’re gonna tell the origin story of: Why Majik Kids? What are we actually trying to do here with Majik Kids? And who are we, Celeste Bradley, and Sauryn, and lifestyle choices that we’ve made to get to where we’re at right now.
So which question do you want to start with?
Celeste
Well, I think, what’s the purpose of this show and who’s it for? Did you cover that fully?
Bradley
Kind of. But if you wanna add on some spots.
Celeste
Well, this show is really about you getting to know us, wondering how we started all of this and what kind of inspiring things that we can share with folks out there.
Bradley
So. I guess just like taken way back, Celeste and I just celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary at the moment of recording this Sauryn is six and a half years old. We are homeschoolers, we’re entrepreneurs, we’re artists, we’re creators, we’re village makers. We live on a small rural island called Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, off the west coast of Canada…
Celeste
…which is the traditional territory of the Hul’qumin’num and SENĆOŦEN-speaking Coast Salish people. This is their traditional land, which we are so deeply grateful and honored to be living and thriving on these lands, we do our very best to honor and respect the ancestors and the current ancestors of these lands. And the all the beings at every pulse of every breath of every day. And we’re doing this ultimately, so that the future is bright for everyone and that balance is restored and that the natural balance in this world is restored by how we choose to live, by how we choose to relate to one another and with one another. And the reciprocity and care that we encourage in, in our tending.
Bradley
And so let’s dig into who is Celeste? Who are you? What is your role in our family? Who do you play in the world right now? Who’s Celeste?
Celeste
Teehee! I am mother of Sauryn Majik and my primary devotion and purpose is to mother our child and to be the heartbeat of this home and our family. So, your mother, rest her soul, Lori Morris passed away recently. My mother, Ruth Elaine Handley is still alive. And I’m growing into my matriarch, for our family and I tend the hearth of this home and I do it with a lot of care by choosing intentfully our foods and cooking them by scratch and living a slower lifestyle than what I used to live, I’d say before we got married. The work and the grind of that.
And so now we live on this beautiful little piece of land on this island. We have neighbors who live close by, incredible neighbors. So we’re doing some village making in our community. I would say that outside of my role in the home, I’m a community builder and a community safe space creator. That’s what I aim for. I created a sort of online forum when Sauryn was a baby. And it was just a group of young moms who were new to being moms. And we just wanted to get together and over time, because we need each other, you know, in a small island there’s a little bit less anonymity than there is in a city, and there’s more opportunity for getting to know who your islanders are. And you need each other because we’re a little bit more remote. And so I recognized the opportunity when I had this little space that I started opening the doors to any mom on the island who wished to join. And it’s been an incredible space now with over 700 mothers, and child bearers and people who parent here who we really care about each other. And so that has been a very intuitive natural thing that’s grown. And so I find myself in this role of tending a community hearth and tending a community space. So that’s been pretty incredible. And what I show up to in this world with, as well as growing my own art. In the last few years, I’ve really rekindled my love of handcrafts and making, I live a handmade life, but I also have now created an art studio where I create from with my leather work, amazing garden tool belts and textile arts that I’m getting into, repairing, repair culture. Just really believe very strongly in the ethos of taking good care of what we have and creating things to last.
Bradley
And just on the village tending side of things, I mean, village tending, it sounds nice, but in a practical sense, what it actually is is creating meal trains when somebody’s lost a family member. It is work parties when a family is having a baby and we need to get a group of men together to chop their winter supply of wood or to do a house rental for them. It could be just showing up.
Celeste
There’s a lot of talk about villaging and it’s all a lot of hot air because we can just like imagine what would be ideal. And because most of us are very deeply orphaned in our cultural ability to, or the place that we find ourselves in our crumbling culture, uh, in sense without deep roots intact because we’re living on stolen lands because we’re living here on Turtle Island as many, many settlers and descendants of settlers over many centuries. So here we are, deeply looking for belonging, creating, cultivating what we feel is necessary and true. And I’ve noticed through the tending of the mama space that it’s really hugely about the celebrations and the losses in our life that we need practical, everyday care for people and the people who fall through the cracks and aren’t glorified in our fast-paced culture, the over-culture that is the dominant culture. Not necessarily, it’s not normal, but it’s common that we more value in that culture, that over-culture, you know, the fast-paced, the productivity and the doing. And so people like mothers who are in a space of space of being and creating life and things, you know, are moving at that pace of the small child and mother duo that, these people need help. People need help when they can’t raise, we all know the saying, you can’t raise a child without a village. “It takes a village to raise a child”, but most of us don’t have extended family around here on this island. Most of us don’t have extended support. Most of us have dear friends, but everybody’s drowning in the busyness of life.
And it can be hard. It is.
Bradley
It’s hard. It’s hard. What we’ve found, especially in the last, I would say, five years of getting outta baby mode with Sauryn in the last five years of really committing, you with the Mama hive, me with Manventures, which I’ll get into of building these networks and these relationships, it’s been beautiful to see the way people will meet us and the way that people are showing up and that they reflect that. And it really takes the commitment to self start to be like, oh, I see that this is lacking in our life, in my life. That’s where it started for me is, is loneliness ultimately, and not having like solid friendships and people that were consistent and committed to a longer term friendship, that went beneath the surface.
And, the hard work is, is so worth it, and so pure and so beautiful. Do you have anything more to share about yourself? You’re the most glorious, incredible cook. You’re amazing cook and baker and Chef. How good is mama’s food?
Sauryn
Oh, those muffins that she makes are delicious. Oh yes. Watch our YouTube channel for follow Majik Kids. Follow Celeste’s baking and making, channel playlist inside of our YouTube channel for Majik Kids, ’cause she’s gonna be doing a muffin recipe soon, right? Yep. Mm. What else do you like that she makes?
Sauryn
Mm. Lots of other things that she makes, she makes a lot of good things.
Bradley
Mm-hmm. S is a beautiful, she’s the mama queen of this hive that we have here, and we’re so grateful for you and your devotion and service to our family. And all the ways that you show up and make our home a home.
Celeste
Thank you. That’s so sweet. Yeah. You guys are the best. And Bradley, how about you give us a little 4 1 1 on who you are?
Bradley
Okay. Well I’m the Papa Bear. I’m the husband. I have been an entrepreneur for, I think this is my 19th year, 18th year, something like that. And, I have, I’ve been consciously crafting the dream life that we get to live by taking consistent, inspired action towards the visions that we have and the world that we want to see how that’s looked is I’m a creative director. I’m an executive producer with our main company, Majik Media. I’ve been doing this for a long time. Coaching creators, educators from all over the world. To produce their transformational media. And, one of the ways that we have done that is to use entertainment as a vehicle to teach and transform. I am, I’ve been obsessed with golf since I was 12 years old, since the first time I hit a golf ball. I’m almost 39. And I play pro golf as my hobby and I look, I still aspire to play at the highest level I possibly can. For me that looks like the Canadian tour. So I train, I play every morning. You’re very supportive with me to pursue my passion and my dreams. Mind you, I wake up before the sun and I get home from playing golf in the mornings when you guys are just getting out of bed. So I don’t miss too much of our life minus the morning snuggles.
I’m a very driven, motivated, inspired, and passionate person, and I love, activating people’s gifts in the world. And that’s what I’m here to do, is to be an activator. And, in order to do that, I try to live my most activated life. And, I’ve had a long journey with entrepreneurship that you can read about on my websites.
And also there’ll be stories that come out in future episodes about lessons learned in both parenting and business and how we apply those lessons to our family and homeschooling our lifestyle and our lifestyle. And that’s enough about me. Sorin, what do you wanna share about yourself with the people that are listening right now? Who’s Sauryn? What does he love?
Sauryn
Well, I love science, like robotics building and yeah, robotics is sort of my thing. I also really love reading comics, fun, adventurous comics, and I like to get good time with my books.
Bradley
And what are some of the things you enjoy doing with Mama?
Sauryn
Reading. Mm. And playing and being with everyone here.
Bradley
And what about with your papa? What do you like to do with me?
Sauryn
Play, go on adventures because adventure buddies stick together. I like having adventures with Gnomey – our house gnome that lives with us. We’re working on a graphic novel that you’ll meet Gnomey very soon. Right? Yeah. That’s our current project for Majik Kids – I like traveling through portals.
Bradley
Yes. You like going through portals and you’re the creative director at Majik Kids. And what sort of work do you do at Majik Kids? What are, what roles do you play in the family business? Creative director. What does that mean to you?
Sauryn
Well, I do love creating things. Mm-hmm.
Bradley
I mean, you’ve helped. You and I co-wrote, I think we wrote 12 books together and audio stories. And you do some voice acting. And you came up with the idea, which was one of the most brilliant ideas in my 18 years of entrepreneurship. What idea did you have for Majik Kids? About something? About a button.
Sauryn
The app?
Bradley
Yeah. What did you tell us to do?
Sauryn
Well, I walked in, well, we were having a marketing meeting and I said, Papa, we need a button.
Bradley
And we said, what do you mean by a button? And then you held up a picture with a rectangle and a circle in it and you’re like, we need a button. So the kids can just push a button and the stories will pop up, and then the stories will start playing. And we’ve been working for months on building with our creative team the most beautiful app interface for kids that is gonna feature our magical audio stories every Saturday morning, beautiful Imagination Meditations to help kids explore and learn about their body, their minds, the world life, their emotions and feelings, all the things. And then also sing-along music so that we can build a really beautiful, incredible library of inspiring singalong music for kids. And it was all your idea.
Can I ask you a question? What’s it like? When being a kid, when grownups listen to you? How does it feel when grownups listen to you?
Sauryn
Like play with me and things? Well, one thing I don’t like about some people that is really a bit annoying, when I wanna be with them is that they’re on their phone. I just don’t like it. Like when I wanna read a book with mommy or Papa, and they’re on their phone, it’ll take a little bit.
Bradley
Yeah. That sucks. And because of the whole phone situation in the house what are we building this week? A phone box, to lock those phones away because mommy and Papa have been busted before by Sauryn. And we also value the togetherness time, and there’s a time to be on a phone and there’s a time to be together, and we’re gonna choose the together time. So watch that on our YouTube channel about the phone box.
Celeste
Building a new family culture of togetherness.
Sauryn
And also you should check out our homeschooling videos, right?
Bradley
That’s right. What do you like about homeschooling?
Sauryn
Well, one, I don’t like going to school.
Bradley
What is it about school that you don’t wanna do?
Sauryn
Well, I just really like being with my parents and family, and I don’t really wanna go away from our house and things for the whole day at school.
Bradley
Right. You wanna be together. And we wanna be together. We do. We’re honored and grateful that you wanna be hanging with Ma and Pa. And we’ve rearranged our lifestyle to support that and in rearranging our lifestyle to support that we accidentally created a whole Majik Kids publishing company. As a way to support your homeschooling and your education. Not only are you co-writing books, but you’re learning about the creative process. And getting to understand all of these beautiful skills of turning your ideas into a reality.
Celeste
So Sauryn’s currently giving us lots of hugs right now. Big hugs. Dishing out mad hugs.
Bradley
And you did try school. You tried school for a little bit…
Sauryn
But turns out. I don’t like it.
Celeste
Fair enough, fair enough. Every we honor your choice. And some kids do like it, some kids don’t like it. We love that you’re home. We have the privilege of being able to stay home and also just creatively prioritize and redistribute our energy so that we can be home.
Bradley
So let’s pivot into a little bit about Majik Kids, the origin story. Because I call this an accidental publishing company, even though we intentionally created it. I don’t think we fully realized what we were stepping into when we decided to start Majik Kids. So let’s rewind.
Celeste
Are you old enough to remember tapes that actually wound audio?
Bradley
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I am that old. Okay, good. Just a second. So. Let’s just speak to the problem that we see in children’s entertainment, in children’s stories and literature, in the times that we’re living in. Because as you know, when I wasn’t a parent, I wasn’t aware of what I’m now aware of. And let’s just talk about those problems so we can talk about what sparked our deep passion to take action.
Celeste
Well, I remember you and I decided to talk about our choices with videos and screens and shows just as parents when Sauryn was little and we didn’t wanna have our kid watching very much shows. It wasn’t like a daily thing for us. We were sort of like, let’s just intentionally make sure that this child has a curated content that’s coming into his consciousness as these formative years are so, so precious. Let’s really be aware of what we’re bringing in. And so we would watch shows when he was little and choose ones that were really simple and really gentle on the consciousness. Not a lot of fighting or interesting language or concepts that were sort of beyond where he was at developmentally when he was like a Preschooler, let’s say. And then we decided, you know, I think that we’re just going to maybe instead of putting on a show to sort of like keep him busy while I do stuff as our lifestyle thing. I don’t think I really love that. So even though it can be easy thing to turn to as a being at home with my kid all the time, I would rather us use technology to bring us closer together as a connection point than a disconnection point or.
Bradley
And when he was three, we had that crazy year of, we built this beautiful retreat studio and then we had to move abruptly. And we moved twice in that year. He got a lot of screen time because it was a very chaotic point. It came out of absolute need.
Celeste
That story is on my mind too. Can I elaborate on the story? So basically we, we had this home, we had this business in our home, and we had what we call an unexpected pivot where we needed to move and we were, you know, 10 days away from moving and our dog (Bonkers) was severely injured and he was needing pretty much all around care at home, and you were working long, long days at home from our home studio. Sauryn was in my care, he was three. And then I had Bonkers in my care and we had to pack up our entire house and, and moved, and studio put most of it in storage and live in a temporary housing for six months.
So we had to have all the forethought of what we would need in the temporary home. And the long-term storage. So, needless to say, Sauryn got a lot of shows because I literally had to take the dog outside to rinse and drain his wound, and help him to go to the washroom and to make sure he was comfortable and hand feed him… And this was like happening a lot throughout the day. And you know, a bouncy little 3-year-old, I just needed to put him on shows. So I did. And then we moved and then once we recognized how addicted he was, and how his moods were so violent and angry the minute the shows were done, even if there was like forethought in like gearing him to say, this is gonna be done soon. Okay, we’re gonna finish. It was chaos. We were like, okay, this isn’t gonna work for our life.
Bradley
It was like, it was a drug. It is a drug. And it was very, very clear to us. And so at that same time when we’re like, whoa, this is totally not working. That was when we discovered the power of audio stories – some people might think or have the assumption that a three-year-old wouldn’t sit and pay attention to an audio story, but that wasn’t the case for Sauryn.
We introduced him to audio stories and what we found there was this magic, like let’s say Mama Bear here has gotta make some dinner and I’m working, or whatever, and Sauryn needs some support or attention. We would turn on the audio stories and we would give him an activity, something kinesthetic to do. So we learned that if you turn on the audio story, he might not pay attention as much, but if you turn on the audio story with some Play-Doh or Blocks or Lego or Coloring Surprise or craft, and he would just like and still does to this day, he goes into the Zone, his imagination turns on and expands.
He goes into this kinesthetic focused space while listening to the story, and then Sauryn, we would say to you, like after the story, do you remember what the story is about? And you would recall the story and the characters and the lessons because you were actively engaged in activity while listening.
And so for us, what we found was he didn’t have the same withdrawal symptoms that happened with screens when we’d turn the screen off, he didn’t, or when we shut the audio story off, he didn’t have the same explosive emotional behavior, that happens from the screen addiction that takes place.
Celeste
Yeah, I think I had been fostering as well and I just blessed with the type of child who took naturally to having small bursts of independent play since he was really little. I would set out these prompts and just sort of go to the bathroom and when I came back, he would just be playing with some blocks in a bin or something with this audio story. So I’d like the audio stories came in later, but I think I’d always been like, oh, if my child is playing independently, I am not gonna burst that bubble. Yeah, I am gonna, not gonna be like, what are you doing? Or do you wanna play? Or here’s something else it would like. So I’d been fostering that over a number of years. Just to preface that, that we’ve been building that into our lifestyle as well by choice.
Bradley
So now let’s just talk about the quality of entertainment that’s available, like starting with movies. Why is it that every children’s movie or most children’s movie are about evil characters and bad guys and villains and heroes? I think it’s damaging and it’s not helping kids. With children, we wanna keep the quality of their entertainment and stories to be pure, to fill them up, to inspire them, to keep them curious and engaged. And what we are finding, shows are obvious. I mean, you look at anything with Disney and if you’re really looking at it from a lens of like, this is what’s conditioning your child in the world to prepare them for life and to help them develop into who they’re meant to be, you’ll see that Disney’s not doing the best job at that. And then you look at the audio stories. When we started listening to audio stories, we just found that there was so much out there that wasn’t aligned with our values that we were trying to instill.
Celeste
Either it was like really hollow content, like just really shallow content that was quite, didn’t have like a strong moral message or something to encourage. It had a lot of fighting or a lot of language that wasn’t something I wanted my child to emulate as a way like between characters and how characters might interact. And it teaches behavior, right? Yeah. It teaches how to respond in social dynamics.
Bradley
And then the ones that were more holistic and pure, the production quality just was lower, even on the boring side. And as parents, I mean all you parents out there, I’m sure you’ve probably read thousands of books, maybe watched tons of kids’ things. A lot of the stuff out there for kids, it’s either too mature for the kids and it’s made for the parents or it’s not all that fun for a parent to listen to or watch again and again,
Celeste
And or it’s also designed to be repetitive and addictive and to hook your kids’ consciousness into wanting more of it for profit. We won’t mention Paw Patrol. No. Paw Patrol’s definitely not meant to keep kids addicted to it and sell toys… so those are the problems.
Those were some of the things that we were very, very aware of.
Celeste
I kept being frustrated because I wanna put on something that’s wholesome and adventurous and actually my kid wants to listen to, but that I also approve of and feels like it’s contributing to the greenhouse that we’re creating for our child, the environment that we’re wanting him to grow within.
Bradley
And so those were some of the things that we noticed. Sauryn and I are play buddies. We play a lot. We love stories. We make up stories all the time. We play in our imaginations all the time. Right buddy? Yeah. And he’s upside down on the couch right now. So this is a part of the podcast is all these little sweet little noises – he is being a kid.
Sauryn
Fart!
Bradley
That’s your one fart that you get in this episode. So you’ve used it up. You can have one per show. So a part of my background in producing entertainment based transformational media is that I understand what it takes to make a good story and to produce something beautifully that people wanna pay attention to.
I’d never done it for kids. But Sauryn and I were always making up stories. And the ones that he kept asking me to tell, I started to put down on paper. And then one night I have a men’s group that I started almost five years ago on the island here. Basically every Tuesday night, the group of guys we get together and whatever guys show up that night, choose the adventure the following week, and we’ve done, you know, some amazing, amazing adventures, creative nights, beautiful heart sharing art, et cetera.
We’ve done a lot of really cool things and in doing those things as men, we’ve built these deep and lasting bonds of trust and friendship, and so on this one particular night we’re all gathered. There was about 10 to 12 guys and the theme was to write a children’s story in a night. And I wrote the story “The Master’s Apprentice”, which was our first book we released. And when I got finished that night, I was like, I want this to exist. And I understand there’s some things ’cause I’ve had a publishing contract with a book publisher in the past, and what I understand about publishing is one, the publishers are gonna pay maybe 5 to 10% on the high end for your book deal. Two, it could take two to three years to see that book, get it on a bookshelf. And three, book publishing companies don’t really help authors market their books anymore unless they’re some of the top, top authors. So I was like, well, why would I go to a publisher, when I have this media business?
And so we did a bunch of research. I hired one of our dear friends who helped about 200 self-published authors get their books out into the world. And we built a team on Salt Spring Island and in 2022, we released 19 magical audio stories. What makes them magical is the idea of movies for the ears or audio movies is we worked with over 70 voice actors, with local musicians and Salt Spring Island is home to some fabulous world class musicians, and they scored the music and the sound effects to really bring the stories and the characters to life and the worlds that we wrote about. And we worked with 11 illustrators, 10 of which came from our talented little artistic island here. And we released 18 books. And in the process of making all of this, because what happens is when we say yes to the vision that we have and we take inspired action, we start to realize what is actually is as the spirit of the business comes to life and why we’re actually doing it. One of the why’s for us is obviously creating alternative entertainment sources for kids that are all the fun of story time without the screen time to get kids back into their imaginations where they be belong. And another piece of it is the artists. If you look at what the average artist earns on Spotify, it’s literally pennies. And what we need is a world that honors the artists.
And the question that I’ve had this last year since launching Majik Kids is what would happen if the most talented artists were able to devote their talent, their gifts, and their art into honoring, inspiring, uplifting, and empowering kids. And that’s why we came up with the Fair Trade Publishing model, which basically pays 50% of our revenue back to our artists for book sales, and when the app comes out, this Spring app subscription sales as well. So that the goal is that the artists can generate enough income that they can just stay committed and working on things that inspire kids. And just imagine if that’s the world we lived in, because Amazon doesn’t do that. None of these big companies, Apple, Spotify, et cetera. And this is a really big problem because artists are what help to create the culture. They’re like the glue that keep this culture together in the world. And so our big mission is definitely to reunite and activate families and togetherness and to tell amazing stories that inspire kids without the need to have bad guys in battles all the time.
Celeste
… who are rescuing everything…
Bradley
And so it’s been beautiful and a part of it, and this was just an afterthought that came as we started to create all these stories, is like, these stories have values. They have amazing messages and lessons to be learned. And so with every book and audio story we’ve created a curriculum that goes with it so that the kids can integrate the lessons and the themes into their lives. And it could be with a parent facilitator, it could be with a childcare facilitator, a babysitter. It could be at your daycare or it could be listening, reading the stories with a classroom, and then doing all of the activities.
And literally each story has hours and hours worth of creative adventures, conversation starters, games, activities, all sorts of stuff to help the kids learn the lessons and apply the themes in their own life so that they remember them, so they become an embodied part of who they are. And that’s been a lot of fun.
Yay. Hooray. Yay. So that’s a little origins story with Majik Kids and where Majik Kids is going from here is our team is hard at work right now building the Majik Kids app. Imagine something like Spotify for Kids. It’s gonna house new audio stories on Saturday mornings to replace your cartoons, sing along music and imagination meditations to help kids with their nervous systems. And then there’ll be the parent portal for educators and parents to grab all of the learning activities, this podcast, other podcasts, resources,
Celeste
…to help you with your nervous system, like your meditation series that will live in there.
Bradley
I built a meditation library that has been enjoyed by millions of people around the world over the last eight years. And so that will also be inside of the app to support all you parents out there and grownups with your nervous systems and to get back into your own inner child
Celeste
…embodied deep presence parenting. That’s right. We’ll also probably have other inspired content as we discover what is requested and desired by community who chooses to use this, and as we share more of our lifestyle homestead and practical tips in our life.
Bradley
So that’s a wee bit about the Morris Majiks and Majik Kids. This podcast, the episodes that’ll be coming out. Sometimes Celeste might do a solo episode for Mamas.
Celeste
Yeah, I actually forgot to mention when I was doing my intro that I also share the Sacred Grief work with community and that that’s a pretty big thread of what I offer other than hosting the mama group. And, so that’s possibly gonna be making its way into books, meditations, resources, and, I absolutely love tending the sacred flame of the full spectrum of our life, including our pleasure and our joy, and our grief and our sorrow. And finding a place to tend it, weave it in, and live it and breathe it.
Bradley
So. Sometimes it might be a solo episode with Celeste. Might be, both of us, might be a episode out there for fathers around some of the things I’ve learned, we may bring guests on, if you have requests, if you have questions, if you have things that you’re curious about with homeschooling, you can write it in to us and we can create episodes about those.
We feel like we’ve been consciously building our life to be what it is so that we can live a life of service and creativity so that we can be present with our son. And, we’ve made a lot of mistakes and we’ve stumbled into some solutions for what we see as some of the biggest challenges facing parents facing education, facing people that are here to honor the children.
And we hope we can help. And have some fun along the way. That’s right. So do we have anything else we wanna end on here?
Celeste
Yeah. I feel called to share a blessing with whoever’s listening that we’re so grateful that you’re here, that you tuned in and that you’re still listening. It means that there’s a deep spark alive in your heart and that we really feel with everything, every fiber of our being, we know how deeply you are needed in this planet and your children and how important every person is, and that the more people that are embodying pure love and sharing whatever gifts you have with the earth at this time. That’s what we’re all here for. We’re here to raise the spiritometer as we like to say. Yes, we’re here to raise the sparkle and the joy and deeply honor all of the pain and the hardships that we are currently growing through as a collective. All of the crumbling of systems, all of the disillusion, everything is necessary and needed to reorganize to a higher order.
And we’re just creating this podcast essentially so we can share more of us and hopefully inspire your greatness because we love you.

Amen. Hallelujah. Thank you so much for tuning in to our first episode of The Magic Parents Podcast. Follow us, subscribe, like, share, do all the things that you’re supposed to do at the end of the show.
And if you haven’t checked out our magical audio stories, go to majikkids.com. Check out the stories. Listen to them with your kids. I would recommend you check out “Fuzz: The incredible story of a dog’s best friend”, “Beyond the Wall: The untold story of Humpty Dumpty” or “The Other Side: The untold story of why the chicken really crossed the road” or Sauryn’s claim to fame “The Inventiest Kid”, which – just quick backstory on the Inventiest kid – so cool. About a year and a half ago, it was a rainy night and we’re sitting in the living room and I said, Sauryn, let’s work on a story. So, I pulled up my notebook. He’s bouncing around the living room as five year olds do, ’cause he is five at the time. And I just asked him question after question and he came up with the characters, the inventions, the idea that this kid Steven Screwdriver could invent anything he could make up or imagine, all the names, he came up with the whole story and then I just helped to piece it together. And “The Inventiest Kid”‘s a really beautiful story, it’s a fan favorite and I’m sure you’ll love it as well.
So thanks so much for tuning in! High Five. We did it episode one, the Origin Story of The Majiks. We’ll see you next time, except we’re not, you’re not looking at us. So I guess you’ll hear us next time. Stay awesome. You’re the best. Love you. Bye bye.
