In our latest episode, Autumn sits down with writer Dorothy Howls to talk about her beautiful and thoughtful new book The Magic We Create: The Book of Spells.

This isn’t a spellbook in the traditional sense. It’s something gentler and perhaps more powerful: a guide for the dreamers and the doers, for anyone carrying too much yet still moving forward.

Inside the book are 101 “spells” that blend evidence-based mental health practices with poetry and storytelling. Each one is a pause, a breath, a moment of quiet reflection designed to help readers reconnect with themselves and rediscover their own inner magic. These kinds of modern “spells” draw on the long tradition of personal rituals and practices meant to focus the mind and invite positive change in everyday life. 

In this conversation, Autumn and Dorothy explore creativity, resilience, and the small daily rituals that help us come back home to ourselves.

Listen to the episode now and discover a little everyday magic.
