Meaningful Merch for Everyday Magic

You may want to pop over to YouTube for this short and sweet episode, as it’s a very visual one highlighting our new MAGIC MERCH!!! Eeek!

In this short Magic Made episode, I’m sharing a closer look at our Magic Made merch—created as simple, intentional ways to feel more connected, grounded, and inspired in everyday life. ✨

From our plant jewelry that catches sunlight and throws rainbows, to our Make Your Own Magic hoodies designed to feel cozy, elevated, and meaningful, each piece was created to be more than merch. These are wearable reminders and everyday magic moments.

🌱 Plant Jewelry
Handcrafted pieces that tuck into your plants and reflect sunlight into rainbows—made with crystals like amethyst and turquoise, and created in collaboration with another woman-owned business, AM Creations. Perfect for plant lovers, crystal lovers, and anyone who loves chasing light.

🖤 Make Your Own Magic Hoodies
Soft, cozy hoodies with thoughtful details—“Make Your Own Magic” down the sleeve and across the back—designed to remind you (and everyone who sees you) that magic is something we create, even on hard days.

This merch is about connection, confidence, creativity, and community. We’re growing slowly and intentionally, supporting women in business, and building something that feels aligned and meaningful.

✨ If you have a piece already, tag me so I can see you out there spreading magic.
 ✨ Have ideas for future Magic Made merch? Drop them in the comments.

We’re just getting started—and I can’t wait to keep making magic together.

Earning It Back – Matt Swartz

What does it take to lose everything, and then earn it all back?

In this episode of The AMP’D UP211 Podcast, Rick Bontkowski sits down with Deputy Sheriff Matt Swartz, a military veteran, law enforcement veteran, instructor, and amputee who returned to full-duty police work after a catastrophic crash and leg amputation.

Matt’s career spans decades of service, beginning with the New York Air National Guard in 1990 and continuing with the New York State Police, where he served as a Patrol Trooper, Field Training Officer, Firearms and Rifle Instructor, Tactical Unit member, and FBI-certified Sniper/Observer.

In 2004, an off-duty crash left Matt with multiple skull fractures, brain trauma, and a crushed leg that ultimately required amputation. What followed was a long, brutal recovery and an outcome few thought possible. Through sheer determination, Matt became the first amputee New York State Trooper cleared for full, unrestricted duty, returning to the road with no accommodations and no limits.

Today, Matt serves full-time as a Deputy Sheriff in Florida and speaks to amputees, first responders, and survivor communities about trauma, identity, and the mindset that carried him forward: I will win and overcome, no matter what the odds.

The AMP’D UP211 Podcast amplifies real stories from the limb-loss and disability community, stories rooted in service, grit, and lived experience, not inspiration clichés.

This is a conversation about duty, loss, and earning your way back.

I Thought It Was a Challenge

What if the goal isn’t to finish… but to become?

In this episode of Magic Made, Megan Holly reflects on what really happened after committing to a year of daily movement. What began as a simple “365 Days of Dance” challenge quietly transformed into a ritual, a relationship, and ultimately a sustainable way of living with more joy, presence, and trust.

This isn’t an episode about perfection, checklists, or pushing harder. It’s a conversation about consistency over intensity, language over pressure, and why the way we approach our goals matters more than how quickly we complete them.

Megan shares honest insights about:

  • Why most challenges fall apart (and how to reframe them)
  • The difference between doing something to prove yourself vs. doing it to support yourself
  • How daily movement became a form of emotional regulation and joy
  • Why sustainability in life matters just as much as sustainability in business or wellness
  • How changing your language can change your experience
  • Letting go of outcomes and focusing on the version of you being shaped along the way

This episode is for you if you’ve ever:

  • “Fallen off” a habit and felt defeated
  • Felt overwhelmed by intensity and expectations
  • Wanted more joy but didn’t know how to make it stick
  • Craved a practice that feels supportive instead of demanding

Megan also introduces the evolution from “365 Days of Dance” into “Moving Your Magic: A Daily Dose of Dance”, inviting listeners to release perfection and reconnect with their bodies in a way that feels freeing, human, and sustainable.

✨ Reflection prompt:
What is the feeling you want to sustain in your life right now, and what small, consistent practice could support it?

Your Confidence Formula

Confidence isn’t loud. It’s rooted. 🌱✨
In this episode of Magic Made, we’re redefining confidence in a softer, more sustainable way. Not the “best-day” version of you. Not the costume. Not the performance.

Real confidence is self-trust. It’s the quiet underbelly of your daily choices. The rituals, the boundaries, the non-negotiables, and the way you come back to yourself when your mind tries to hand the microphone to other people’s opinions.

If you’ve ever looked at someone and thought, they have it all together, so they must be confident, this episode will lovingly flip that belief on its head.

Where do you feel comparison sneaks in most: body, business, relationships, or creativity?

In this episode, we talk about:

Why confidence feels unattainable when we make it “big”

The mic-drop truth: Confidence isn’t who you are on your best day

How self-trust creates sustainable confidence (not a sugar spike + crash)

What confidence used to look like to me (and why that definition didn’t hold up)

The difference between “the things” and the intention behind the things

The “confidence hydration bottles” concept: what fills you up, fuels you, and steadies you

How to identify your 3 confidence bottles (laughter, clothing that feels good, time boundaries, movement, etc.)

Why comparison puts other people in the driver’s seat of your life (and how to take it back)

The power of one daily non-negotiable that keeps you steady, even on hard days

Your gentle challenge:

Pick three confidence bottles to “hydrate” this week.
Then ask: What daily choices keep them filled?

👇 Comment and tell me:
What’s in your confidence hydration bottle right now?
What’s one non-negotiable that makes you feel like you?

And yes…go drink some water too. 😉💧
