The Power of Charms Podcast: Recent Episodes
Kay McDonald
Since 2004, Charity Charms have been used as a vehicle for non-profits and organizations of all types to creatively brand, fundraise, and engage with their community. We began this journey as a way to meet the growing demand for socially conscious brands. Being socially conscious has grown into an international movement founded on collaboration, giving, and awareness. Our mission is to empower organizations and their supporters, employees, and customers through symbolic pieces that bring their important work to life. Charms have the power to tell a story, connect people in a meaningful way, and build a legacy of love.
Charity Charms founder, Kay McDonald’s love for charms began as a child. Kay was enamored with her grandmother’s charm bracelet, adorned with small treasures each holding special significance that embodied the stories of her life. Today, Kay wears her grandmother’s charm bracelet as a connection to the past and a reminder of the future of charms.
We believe charms have the power to tell a story and bring people together through a common thread. They build a sense of community and bring your important work to life. Charms are a unique, elegant way to brand your organization.
Some women raise three daughters on their own in 1972, work their way from executive secretary to Fortune 500 purchasing agent, and shape every daughter who watces them do it. Some keep showing up to water aerobics at 91 and balancing the church books until the week they pass. Kay McDonald and her cousin Debbie Howard had two of those mothers: sisters-in-law who became career women in eras that didn't exactly hand that out.
In this Mother's Day episode of the Power of Charms, Kay and Debbie share stories about Sydna and Maryanne - and the lessons their mothers left behind about resilience, financial responsibility, self-care, and showing up for people you love. They also get into the practical side of caregiving: the small home modifications that keep aging parents safe, why traveling with an older mom takes more planning and more patience, and how to build new traditions that honor the moms who are no longer here.
Debbie Howard is a caregiving expert, founder of Aging Matters International, and author of The Caregiving Journey and The Caregiving Crisis. She's a returning guest on the show - and Kay's cousin.
Plus: Kay surprises Debbie with a piece of family jewelry neither of them had seen in years - a charm necklace their grandmother made to hold all 13 of her grandchildren close.
A conversation about mothers, memory, and the small things we keep.

Since 2004 we have been creating private label custom charm programs to help spread awareness for charities, schools, and organizations. We are headquartered in Phoenix and are proud to have worked with over 100 local charities, helping them to define their brand and engage their supporters. The programs we create turn your logo into a beautiful charm. We then tie in your brand colors and messaging for the perfect product to appeal to your audience.
The cost of your custom charm program is often underwritten by a company or individual, which gives them a unique way to be recognized for their generous gift.
A special all inclusive package for members of 100 Women Who Care has been created by Charity Charms. So your organization can create a custom beaded bracelet to match your brand, just like the 100 Women Who Care bracelet.

Charity Charms creates custom items for you that will help you “charm” your audience and make them fall in love with your cause. It’s that wearable word of mouth impact the YOUR Charity Charm provides that makes the difference.
