    The Science of Reiki Podcast by Molly Donlan

    If you've ever been curious about Reiki but your inner skeptic won't let you fully lean in, this podcast is for you. I'm Molly Donlan, Reiki Master Teacher, bestselling author of Mundane Magic, and a former skeptic who spent nine years working with survivors of sexual violence before chronic pain, anxiety, and burnout sent me searching for answers my doctors couldn't give me. Reiki was the only thing that worked. So I spent a decade digging into the science of why. The Science of Reiki is where I translate that research into plain English. No spiritual bypassing, no pressure to believe, just honest, science-backed conversations about how this practice actually works in your mind, your body, and your everyday life. Subscribe and let's geek out together. 🔮 Listen to the full podcast: https://mollydonlan.com/sor 🔮 Download the free companion workbook:https://mollydonlan.com/sor-workbook 🔮 Want to learn Reiki in a way that actually makes sense?

    The Outsiders of Olympus: Dionysus, Hestia & the Gods Who Don’t Fit In

    This is the final episode of our Greek Pantheon series (sad times), we explore the deities who exist on the edges of Olympus. Those who challenge, disrupt, or quietly sustain. We dive into Dionysus, god of sacred chaos, release, and creative freedom, and Hestia, goddess of the hearth, home, and stillness. Then we explore powerful “wild card” figures: Nyx, the primordial force of night. Circe, the solitary witch of transformation. Eos, goddess of dawn and new beginnings. Finally we speak about Pan, the embodiment of wild instinct and the origin of panic itself. Together, we unpack their myths, symbolism, and how their energies might show up in your life from creative urges and shadow work to rest, ritual, and reclaiming your wildness.

    Gods of War and Power: Ares, Zeus and Hephaestus Explained

    Power isn’t always pretty and neither are the gods who wield it. In our fifth episode of the Greek Pantheon series, we dive into one of the messiest corners with Zeus, Ares, and Hephaestus. This is a conversation about power in all its forms. Toxic authority, sacred anger, and the kind of creativity that’s born from rejection. We explore the father wound, what happens when power is abused or suppressed, and how these myths reflect your own relationship with leadership, anger, and worth. This goes far beyond mythology. It is about reclaiming your voice, understanding your anger, and owning the power that was always yours. If you’ve ever felt like you were too much, not enough, or overlooked, this episode will hit differently.

    Greek Gods of the Wild: Artemis, Demeter & Poseidon and the Power of Nature’s Cycles

    In episode four of our Greek Pantheon series, we explore the gods of nature, the wild, and the cycles of life: Artemis, Demeter, and Poseidon. We dive into Artemis as the fierce protector of autonomy and boundaries, Demeter as the embodiment of grief, abundance, and seasonal cycles, and Poseidon as the ruler of emotional depth and the unseen forces beneath the surface. This conversation goes beyond mythology, unpacking how these deities reflect real human experiences, independence, loss, love, and emotional intensity. We also explore how to work with their energies in modern spiritual practice, from reconnecting with nature to honoring personal cycles and navigating deep emotional waves. If you’ve ever felt called to the wild, the seasons, or the ocean’s depth, this one will resonate with you deeply.

    The Gods of Love: Aphrodite, Eros & Hera Explained

    Part 2 of our Greek pantheon deep dive explores the gods of love, beauty, and desire: Aphrodite, Eros, and Hera. Love in Greek mythology is complex, layered, and sometimes chaotic. We break down the six Greek types of love, from passionate desire, to deep friendship and long-term commitment, and explore how each deity represents a different aspect of love. You will learn the myths behind Aphrodite’s power, Eros’ role as both creator and chaos-bringer, and why Hera is far more than just a “jealous wife.” We also explore the shadow sides of love, how these patterns show up in modern relationships, and how to work with each archetype for self-worth, attraction, and lasting partnership. If love has ever felt confusing, this episode will help you see it in a whole new way.
