The road to Hell was paved by a life coach.

Molly's first musical features an original story of a young, wayward soul who gets swept up in the easy answers of new-age life coach Franny. While Franny offers hope for the hopeless, she is much more interested in collecting tuition than actually helping her clients, and during the weekend-long retreat introduces the group to a motivational speaker with much more sinister motivations than expected. 

Originally performed in 2017, Molly based the story on her experiences working with a new-age life coach after grad school.

"Franny's Feel-Good Farm" was a featured performance at the BOOM Charlotte festival, in April 2019.

Molly was awarded a fellowship grant in 2021 to rework the show as a full-length production. In 2022, she received additional funding to record a cast album.
