Our Story all the way to June 2026 ♥
Once Upon a Time...
OK, not THAT long ago — just back in high school, 2009.
A girl (Martina) and a boy (Tomash) fell head-over-heels in love.
It was summer.
It was short, but intense.
It was fun, honest, clumsy, magical, and full of spark.
It was something.
Something powerful.
But life, being the cheeky little teacher it is, decided it wasn’t their time yet.
So it sent them off in different directions.
➤ Martina flew off to the US, Finland, then Dubai.
➤ Tomash went to the US four times and later on carved his path in Prague, Czechia.
➤ Twelve years passed.
No contact. No texts. No news. NADA.
And then, out of nowhere… BOOM.
In the middle of one weird global lockdown summer, they both came back home to their families, too their hometown.
And that tiny decision — that tiny moment — changed everything.
A mutual friend (thank you, Feky!) dropped a casual info-bomb to each of them:
“Hey, did you know you’re both in town… and both single?”
-
When Tomash heard it, his brain froze — but his intuition exploded like fireworks.
“Bro. It’s GO TIME. Don’t walk. RUN. This is IT.”
So he did the boldest thing a man can do.
He sent a Facebook friend request. 😂
-
When Martina saw his name pop up, her heart skipped a beat.
All the high school memories came flooding back.
The spark. The heartbreak. The innocence. The ache.
That same minute, she clicked accept and messaged him. -
That same day, they met at a lake.
That same day, something old and magical reignited like wildfire.
It was like no time had passed… and yet everything - and especially them two - had changed.
They weren’t teenagers anymore.
They were grown.
Stronger. Softer. Ready.
From that moment on, they knew they didn’t just want to "be together" - they had big dreams, and to make them come true, they wanted to create something together.
Something meaningful. And so.. they combined their superpowers, and went ALL IN ON LIFE.
✨ And that’s how Magnetic Couples Bracelets was born. ✨
From Bracelets to Breakdowns
Here’s how it unfolded:
✸ First, they talked 17 hours a day for 7 straight days.
✸ On day 9, they road-tripped to Croatia, dreaming of oceans, scooters, and a wild, free life.
✸ On day 19, they decided to start a business together.
✸ On day 59: just them, two laptops, two beating hearts — they launched their first store.
✸ On day 129, they earned more in one month than ever before.
✸ On day 159, they booked one-way tickets to Bali.
And so, the "dream" began (or so they thought).
Fast forward:
✸ MCB grew into a multimillion-dollar brand.
✸ 100+ bracelet designs.
✸Customers in 104 countries.
✸75+ million video views.
BUT THAT IS NOT THE WHOLE STORY.
Here’s what you won’t see on Instagram:
From the outside, life looked perfect. Bali sunsets, passive income, the love of their life.
But on the inside? AN ABSOLUTE, MEGA GALACTIC MESS.
Martina was waking up anxious, disconnected & questioning every step she took - leaving her Dubai based identity, suddenly having no clue who she was..
Tomash, no matter that we finally lived his lifelong dream, started to be overwhelmed, exhausted & pushed until he collapsed, hitting rock bottom on his 31st birthday with a 40° fever (104°F), unable to eat or drink.
So yeah, everything looked perfect.
But nothing felt right.
MCB... was NEVER just about bracelets.
It became their anchor.
Their mirror.
Their greatest teacher.
Their spiritual, unlearning, unbecoming journey's VC.
They weren’t just building a brand, they were breaking patterns, healing wounds, and remembering who they really are.
And that’s when their REAL journey began.
From Chaos to Clarity
They began questioning EVERYTHING.
And within next 4 years, they dove headfirst and invested tens of thousands into learning about healing, trauma, energy, emotions, consciousness..
Why are we really here?
What is energy?
What is healing?
And why does it hurt so much, when it all looks so perfect?
They cried, laughed, screamed, surrendered..
They looped, ran, came back, then ran again, then came back again..
They lost themselves to find themselves
And yes, it ALMOST BROKE THEM. More times than you can imagine..
BUT: they chose to stay.
Over and over, through all of it.
Always together, side by side.
Choosing love.
Choosing trust.
Even when it was the hardest thing they ever did.
And they hardly knew how to actually do it.
But as we kept choosing each other..
And slowly, something new started being born.
As they kept facing their pains, healing & staying..
Something started being born:
Two true, authentic versions of themselves — not the "tall blonde model" masks, not the “cool guy”, not the achievers. The True Self ones.
And day by day, choice by choice, they kept rebuilding what once felt unfixable.
They started to fall in love with life, and with each other, all over again.
As a "reward", we "randomly" discovered a pregnant dog mamma in a local town of Bali, and we took the only puppy that survived her litter.
It was February 2023 - that is when Martina realized she does not want to raise her, or anyone in the future, the way she was raised.
That has always been her biggest motivation.
To become unconditionally loving mother to herself, her pup, and everyone around her.
And Tomash? Same.
The Reality NOW
So how is it now?
Well… let us paint you a picture.
After 4 years in Bali, we came back to our hometown in Slovakia. We thought it'd be for a few months max. It turned into 1.5 years — some of the most precious, sacred, ordinary-magic-filled years of our lives.
We grew a garden. Like, an actual garden. Tomatoes. Eggplants. Zucchinis that grew so big we didn't know what to do with them.
We created our dream in miniature: a cozy house, a "mini-farm" (okay fine, just our golden retriever Buchta, but she counts 😂).
Mornings in the forest, throwing sticks, breathing mountain air so crisp it made our lungs sing.
Mondays? Rollerskating. Tennis. Because why should Mondays suck?
Afternoons barefoot in the garden, dirt under our nails, tea in the sunshine, time moving slow and sweet like honey.
We had no idea why we stayed so long.
Turns out, our intuition knew something we didn't.
It gave Martina the gift of spending the best last 1.5 years with her father — laughing, talking, just being together — before he passed in November 2024.
We only realized THIS was the reason after he was gone.
Life knew. Life always knows.
Then Life Said: "Ready for Round 2?"
A few months after her dad passed, the urge to move came again. That familiar pull. That whisper: It's time.
So we packed up our lives (again) and headed to Vietnam.
And oh boy, did life decide to TEST US HARD.
Here's what happened in 2 weeks :
🔥 Flight canceled last minute — restart everything
🔥 19-hour eviction notice — moved out in one morning
🔥 3 days in our childhood bedrooms, unsure we'd ever make it
🔥 27-hour flight + 16-hour drive from Ho Chi Minh to Da Nang
🔥 Not able to find a proper place to stay for days
🔥 Finally broke down on the beach together: "This is too much"
The stress. The sleepless nights. The jet lag. The frustration of it all.
It was going to do one of two things to our relationship:
1) Break it.
2) Deepen it.
Guess which one happened? 😉
The second.
Once again, our unshakeable bond — that same magnetic pull from 2009 — withstood it all.
And all of this led us into a level of humbleness, self-compassion, and inner resilience so deep we didn't even know it lived inside us.
Out of that pressure? Two diamonds were made.
Life, thank you.
Thank you for the contraction so strong that the expansion being formed is blowing our minds.
One breath at a time. One foot in front of the other.
Presence. Connection. Teamwork.
We were reborn.
And Now? We Thrive.
After Da Nang, we moved to Hoi An . And THIS is where we've landed. Where we've bloomed.
We live by the river, in the tree crowns, welcoming every day as it comes.
The sound of water. The rustle of leaves. The kind of peace that makes you cry happy tears for no reason.
We've learned that every single moment of life — whether it's painful, challenging, heartbreaking, joyful, exciting, grateful, angry, messy, or magical — is the most precious experience called LIFE.
So Yeah.
No bosses. No alarms. No rules.
We don't hustle. We don't burn out (anymore 😉).
We design our own rhythm. Every. Single. Day.
And somehow, that joy-first, presence-first rhythm still creates businesses — not by forcing, not by pretending everything's perfect, but by slowing down, accepting what is, and not resisting anything life brings to us.
For years, we invested almost everything into ourselves and our healing: clean organic food, energy work, shadow work, shamanic school, communities, tears, prayers, breakdowns that left us on the floor.
And all of it helped in our evolution. All of it mattered.
But Here's What We Realized:
No amount of organic food, energy work, shadow work, shamanic ceremonies, prayers, or healing tools will ever truly help if you're doing it from resistance — from trying to CHANGE WHAT IS.
The true peace? The real satisfaction? The life well lived?
It comes from ACCEPTANCE OF WHAT IS.
✨ Accepting ourselves the way we are — without the need to change each other.
✨ Accepting life as it is without judgment — in all of its forms, all of its circumstances, all of its messy beauty.
✨ Accepting every present moment as it comes — the hard ones, the sweet ones, the boring ones, the breathtaking ones.
As individuals.
As a couple.
AS A TEAM.
Because you might just realize, like we did, that you don't actually NEED anything.
Except LOVE.
And a way to remember it — every single day.
That's Why Magnetic Couples Bracelets Exist.
Not as jewelry.
As a reminder.
Because our brains are SO good at forgetting — forgetting to stay present, to choose love over fear, to accept what is instead of resisting it.
Life gets loud. We react. We judge. We forget.
That's when you glance at your wrist.
You pause. You click them together. And you remember:
"We chose this. We choose each other. We choose love. Right NOW."
With all our love,
Martina & Tomash
(and Buchta 🐾)
