About Mantras & Merch
You know that feeling when January 1st rolls around and you're full of hope and intention? You set your goals, maybe even pick a word for the year. You feel ready. But then life happens. Work gets busy, routines take over, and somehow that intention you were so sure about just... fades into the background.
I saw this happening over and over—in my own life and in the lives of people around me. We're not failing because we don't care. We're just human, trying to navigate everything life throws at us. And that's exactly why Mantras & Merch exists.
How It Started
Mantras & Merch was born during the pandemic, a time when so many of us were forced to slow down and reflect on what really mattered. My sister and I started dreaming up a brand that would do more than sell products—we wanted to create something that would actually help people stay connected to their intentions, not just in January, but all year long.
While my sister has since shifted focus to her growing family, I've continued building this vision into a movement centered on intentionality, reflection, and real, meaningful growth.
What We Believe
Here's what I know to be true: you are multi-faceted. Your life isn't just about one thing because if it was, I have zero doubt that you would reach your goal. Some seasons call for focus on your mental health. Others might require pouring energy into your career, your relationships, or your physical wellbeing. The priority shifts, and that's not only okay—it's normal.
But here's the problem with so many self-growth solutions out there: they focus on just one piece of you. A gym membership supports your physical health. Therapy supports your mental health. A career coach supports your professional growth. All of these are valuable, but what happens when your needs change? What happens when the area of life that needs your attention shifts?
That's where Mantras & Merch is different. We support you across all five pillars of self-growth: mental health, physical health, personal growth, professional growth, and relationships. Because growth isn't linear, and neither are you.
More Than Products
Everything we create—from wall art and stickers to greeting cards, candles, custom charm phone cases, bookmarks, apparel, and our upcoming Word of the Year subscription box—is designed as a tangible reminder. These aren't just things you buy. They're tools that keep your intention present in your everyday life.
When you see your word on your wall, on your phone, or on your favorite hoodie, it brings you back. It reminds you of who you're becoming and what you're working toward. It keeps reflection and growth front and center, even on the hardest days.
The Vision
Mantras & Merch is building toward something bigger: a full Word of the Year experience that helps you identify an intention that truly resonates, stay connected to it throughout the year, and feel supported every step of the way through prompts, community connection, and products that align with your journey.
We're creating a space where you don't have to do this alone. Where you can show up at markets and events, connect with others on social media who are on their own paths, and know that there's a community cheering you on.
Because here's the truth: self-growth isn't a destination. It's a practice. And you deserve support that meets you wherever you are—through every phase, every priority, every season of life.
Welcome to the movement. We're so glad you're here.
