The Everyday MAGIC Podcast
The Everyday MAGIC podcast is a lifestyle podcast with a "friend, here's what worked for me" approach with practical action steps on how to thrive at home and in business.
Its mission is to help women turn daily overwhelm into Everyday MAGIC, so they can fully enjoy their life.
Everyone deserves to realize how their life can be meaningful, aesthetically pleasing, goal-oriented, intentional, and consistent, aka MAGIC.
Bestselling author of Everyday MAGIC and former Miss Liberia USA, Mattie James is transforming the idea of home as a burdened chore to a safe space where you get to build the systems, routines, and confidence necessary to live the life you want.
Every week, Mattie will dive deep into topics from the book, like self-care, motherhood, work/life balance and goal setting, how to make it MAGIC and make it your own purposefully.
She'll remind you that you're more than enough, don't have to be everything to everyone and handling home matters just as much as handling business.
It's giving weekly encouragement plus practical advice in MAGIC way.
This is the Everyday MAGIC podcast.
