The Author Burnout Cure

189. Bringing Magic into Your Writing Process with Molly Donlan


Listen Later

This week, I interviewed Molly Donlan about her transition from skeptic to Reiki Master teacher, co-host of a popular witchy podcast (Demystify Magic), and author of the forthcoming non-fiction title, Mundane Magic.

Molly shares a variety of low-effort magical practices – grounded in the science behind them (we talk loads about the nervous system) – that you can use to add a dash of woo, magic, and practical manifestation to your writing process.

Whether you’re already very witchy or lean more skeptical, this is a fabulous episode for bringing more fun into your writing life.

Check out the different resources Molly offers on her website (I highly recommend her Reiki training!), pre-order a copy of Mundane Magic (out in February!), check out the Demystify Magic podcast (this episode covers how to make your own sigils - which we talked about in the interview), and follow Molly on Instagram.
