About this episode

Molly Stewart discusses the intersection of breathing, therapy, and creative burnout while sharing personal experiences and answering fan questions.

.Somehow this episode starts with me checking for a booger… and ends with a full-blown existential spiral about therapy, creative burnout, and why editing your own book is psychological warfare. Welcome back to The Totally Wholesome (Not Dirty) Podcast—where I overshare, self-reflect, and occasionally bully myself into personal growth. This week, I’m talking about: finishing Book 2 (!!) and immediately questioning everything about Book 1 the very real post-accomplishment crash (hello dopamine hangover) therapy, healing, and actually using the tools instead of just collecting them creative burnout, perfectionism, and learning how to write for readers instead of just my chaotic brain boxing, breathing (apparently optional??), and why I might just be bad at being a human with lungs unhinged Alexa behavior, scam emails, and the absolute audacity of the internet PLUS: I answer fan questions about trust, boundaries, weed vs. no weed brain, relationships, and navigating life as a chaotic-but-healing adult. It’s messy. It’s honest. It’s a little unhinged. It’s me. 💌 Want to be part of the show? Send me your questions, confessions, bad decisions, or “please tell me what the hell I’m…
