Simple Rituals to Make Daily Life Feel Magical with Molly Donlan

Can cleaning your house actually shift your energy? Can stirring your coffee become a spell? (Short answer: yes.)

In this episode, Alicia is joined by Molly Donlan — a Reiki Master Teacher, crystal healing expert, yoga teacher, and co-host of the Demystify Magic Podcast — for a grounded and lighthearted chat about everyday rituals that help you reconnect with your energy and intention without needing to buy anything new (or be in the mood to meditate).

Molly brings a trauma-informed lens to spiritual practices, blending science with magic and reminding us that even the most “woo” things can be deeply practical. Whether you’re working with ADHD, feeling disconnected from your intuition, or just want a little boost while brushing your teeth — this one’s full of rituals you can actually use.

In this episode:

• The magic of simmer pots — what they are, how to make one, and why they work
• Why mundane magic helps you rewire your nervous system and shift your mindset
• Rituals for the real world: coffee cup sigils, color magic, tooth-brushing spells and more
• What it means to be a witch (and why no one else gets to decide that for you)
• How Molly’s own journey from skeptic to teacher shapes her approach to trauma-informed care
• A peek into her 7-Day Mundane Magic Journal and Low-Effort Rituals series on her podcast
