The Majik Kids Back Story: 

When our son, Sauryn was 3.5, our family went through an exhausting move. Two months of boxes, stress, and disruption, and for the first time, screens quietly became part of our daily rhythm. Almost immediately, we noticed a dramatic change in our son. His joy dipped. His nervous system was dysregulated. More tantrums. Less giggles. And all he wanted was another show. Truthfully, it was alike living with a little addict. Once we were settled into the new home, we cut him off screens cold turkey.

Instead, we introduced audio stories while he drew, built, moved, and played. The shift was dramatic. His imagination came back online. He could stay engaged in creative activities for long stretches, and to our surprise, he retained everything! That sold us on audio as the way.

He’s 9.5 now and still only watches 1 show/week. He doesn’t complain. His default state is curious, creative, and grounded. He reads 2+ hours most days. 

That experience when he was 3—combined with my 20+ year background running a creative agency (MajikMedia.com) is what led us to build Majik Kids.

We’re a fair-pay, artist-powered, audio entertainment & creative learning studio; creating cinematic “Movies for the Ears”—audio stories, music, and imagination meditations designed to help kids grow up as empowered creators, not screen zombies. 

We’re also unschoolers, raising our son in creative, unorthodox, family-centered ways. Not perfect. Just intentional (and joyful). Our kiddo has been a creative director in our biz since day one, and has co-written 23 stories and 30+ comedy commercials (so far).

In 2024, we also launched a new sport called Play Chi Ball – which is a fast, fun, flow-inducing handball game that you can play anywhere, with anyone.
