189. Bringing Magic into Your Writing Process with Molly Donlan

from The Author Burnout Cure · host Isabel Sterling

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. *** The publishing industry is hard. That's why I created The Confident Author Academy. My 6-month coaching program (+ online course) helps you build the mindset & emotional resilience you need to thrive as an author.
