Can you please introduce yourself to our readers and share a few details about your professional background?
I’m Shereen Campbell, and I’m excited to introduce myself and shed light on my unique journey that culminated in the creation of My Little Magic Shop. With a rich professional background spanning corporate retail and a deep-rooted passion for metaphysical practices, my path has been anything but ordinary.
My journey started in the dynamic world of corporate retail, where I spent 16 years contributing to renowned brands like Saks, Macy’s, Vince, Casper, and Century 21 Department Stores. My roles included managing inventory, driving profitability, and honing my analytical skills to spot market trends. This experience allowed me to master the intricate balance between maximizing sales and fostering customer satisfaction across diverse product categories.
Parallel to my corporate career, my fascination with metaphysical practices, particularly astrology, grew stronger. This interest soon became an integral part of my life, guiding me towards a deeper understanding of self-care and personal growth. As I approached my 30s, I experienced the familiar sense of unease that many encounter when evaluating their life’s trajectory. It was during this pivotal time that I sought solace and clarity through a candle ritual, leading to a profound realization – my calling was to empower others to embark on their own journeys of self-discovery and transformation.
My Little Magic Shop emerged as a bridge between my extensive retail expertise and my passion for self-development practices. Through the shop, I aim to equip individuals with the tools, knowledge, and sense of community required to manifest their dreams and tap into their inner power. From a curated monthly subscription service to an array of mystical products like crystals, candles, and incense, our offerings support individuals on their unique paths.
This endeavor isn’t just a business; it’s a reflection of my commitment to facilitating personal growth and mindfulness. My background in journalism, which I pursued at NYU, complements my skills in entrepreneurship, as exemplified by my MBA obtained in 2020. My ability to straddle the worlds of corporate retail and metaphysical practices sets me apart, allowing me to merge analytical acumen with holistic well-being.
As My Little Magic Shop readies to open its first-ever physical store through a partnership with ChaShaMa, my journey comes full circle. The store’s launch on the Upper West Side signifies the culmination of years of dedication, learning, and transformation. This new chapter embodies not just my passion but also a testament to the potential for merging retail and wellness in an authentic and empowering way.
What is the story behind My Little Magic Shop? How was it founded and what items can people find in it?
The genesis of My Little Magic Shop is a tale of personal transformation and a deep commitment to empowering others on their unique journeys of self-discovery. As I approached my 30s, the corporate retail career I had excelled left me feeling uninspired and burnt out. However, my affinity for astrology and metaphysical practices illuminated a path forward.
A transformative moment occurred when I lit a candle and sought clarity in my life’s direction. The universe responded with a powerful message – to aid others in navigating their self-care journeys and provide them with the tools for discovering their inner strength. This calling propelled me to merge my extensive retail and e-commerce background with my passion for self-development.
My Little Magic Shop, born from this revelation, offers an array of products and resources tailored to foster personal growth and holistic well-being. Our online platform and upcoming physical store serve as sanctuaries for magical thinkers seeking self-empowerment. From crystals and candles to incense and ritual kits, each item is thoughtfully curated to amplify mindfulness and self-discovery.
The heart of our shop lies in our monthly subscription service, guiding individuals through a transformative journey. Our products not only empower but also create a sense of community, helping users manifest their desires and tap into their own magic. This vision extends beyond the products themselves; it’s about providing the tools to foster mindfulness and guide users toward a more authentic and fulfilling life.
With the impending launch of our physical store on the Upper West Side in partnership with ChaShaMa, My Little Magic Shop enters a new chapter. This store will be a haven for magic makers, offering a tangible space for community-building, self-care workshops, and events. Our goal is to bridge the gap between mystical practices and everyday life, helping people weave magic into their routines.
In essence, My Little Magic Shop was founded as a response to personal transformation and a desire to make self-care accessible to all. It’s a space where modern mysticism meets retail expertise, where crystals and candles become tools for empowerment, and where individuals can explore the magic within themselves. Our story is one of empowerment, authenticity, and the belief that everyone has the potential to manifest their dreams.
You also offer different readings and sessions. What can you tell me about those?
Absolutely! At My Little Magic Shop, we offer a range of transformative readings and sessions that are designed to guide individuals on their path of self-discovery and healing. Our offerings are rooted in various holistic practices and are tailored to provide unique experiences for each individual.

By interpreting the positions of the planets at your birth, we provide guidance on how cosmic energies can influence your life journey.

Each session is guided by intuition, personal energy, and a deep understanding of the interconnectedness between mind, body, and spirit.
What are the corporate workshops you organize like?
Our corporate workshops are carefully crafted to cater to the specific needs and goals of each organization. When working with a team, my approach involves collaboration and customization to ensure the workshop is impactful and tailored to the team’s unique requirements.
The process begins with a conversation with the organization’s leader to gain insights into the challenges, aspirations, and areas of growth that the team is currently navigating. This initial discussion is crucial in shaping the content and focus of the workshop.
From there, I curate a workshop that strikes the right balance between informative content and healing experiences, all while infusing a touch of “woo woo” magic. The workshops are designed to provide practical tools, insights, and strategies that can be applied in both personal and professional contexts.
The workshops may include interactive elements, such as incorporating products that enhance engagement and participation, guided meditations, breakout sessions, and pop quizzes. Depending on the team’s preferences and needs, the workshops could revolve around themes like mindfulness, creativity, or aligning with professional goals and dreams.
Ultimately, my aim is to create a workshop experience that leaves participants feeling empowered, inspired, and equipped with practical takeaways. By infusing ancient practices and modern insights, these workshops provide a unique opportunity for teams to tap into their inner potential, foster better communication, and nurture a more mindful and productive work environment.
What topics does your podcast cover?
My podcast, “The Magic Hour,” is a platform where I engage in insightful conversations with various healers, practitioners, and experts from diverse modalities. The primary focus of each episode is to delve into the healer’s personal journey to self-discovery and healing, allowing them to share their unique insights and wisdom.
Through these interviews, I explore the individual paths that each healer has taken, shedding light on their transformative journeys. Additionally, the podcast serves as a means to introduce listeners to different healing modalities and approaches that might be unfamiliar to them.
The topics covered in “The Magic Hour” are wide-ranging and inclusive, as I aim to showcase a rich tapestry of healing practices. I’ve had the privilege to interview shamans, reiki masters, astrologers, tao masters, intuitives, Wiccans, mediums, and more. The diversity in modalities and perspectives ensures that each episode offers a fresh and enlightening perspective on the world of healing.
For me, the podcast is a source of continuous learning, both about the healers’ personal journeys and the various modalities they represent. It’s a space where listeners can gain insight into different ways of healing, personal growth, and transformation, fostering a deeper understanding of the magic that lies within each of us.
Is there anything else about your work that you’d like to share that we haven’t covered?
Absolutely, there are a few more facets of my work that I’d love to highlight. Firstly, I’m deeply committed to community-building and creating a safe space for individuals to explore their spiritual and healing journeys. In addition to our online presence, the imminent opening of our physical store on the Upper West Side is a significant milestone. This space will not only house our curated products but will also serve as a hub for workshops, events, and gatherings, fostering a sense of belonging and connection.
Furthermore, our engagement with the ChaShaMa Storefront Program has been a transformative experience. This partnership not only provides us with the physical store space but also aligns with our values of supporting local communities and artists. It’s an exciting opportunity to contribute to the vibrancy of the neighborhood while offering a serene oasis for those seeking mindfulness and self-care.
Lastly, the heart of my work lies in empowerment. Through workshops, readings, and healing sessions, I aim to empower individuals to become their own healers and masters of their destinies. This self-empowerment journey extends beyond personal growth—it ripples out to impact relationships, workplaces, and communities.
As I continue to weave these threads together—our online presence, the upcoming store, our community initiatives, and the podcast—I’m excited to witness the tapestry of transformation, healing, and self-discovery that unfolds. My goal is to not only provide products and services but to facilitate journeys of empowerment and awakening that lead to a more conscious, connected, and magical life.
