Welcome to Other Wise 🪐


A place to lean into your weird.

The parts of ourselves we quiet and contour for the sake of fitting in, getting a job, or staying in (likely dusty) relationships.

Here, what makes you different — or Othered — is your superpower.

On Tuesdays, I share interviews with people who’ve boldly embraced this truth to build lives with no blueprint: artists, creators, thinkers and doers who bet on themselves and, I hope, will inspire you to do the same.

In between, I write personal reflections that don’t fit into an interview.

About me, Molly T. O’Connor 🖤


Self-portrait.

For 13+ years as a publicist, I’ve crafted headline-making narratives for leading consumer tech brands, including one of the world’s first at-home gyms, the full-body MRI scan touted by Kim K., and robots that have massaged the backs of many an A-list celeb.

I’ve landed placements in outlets like The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Vogue, and dozens more — and was even featured in some of them for inventing and patenting a sports bra design that (pun intended) went bust.

Other Wise is a place for me to tell the stories of iconoclasts I find interesting, and sharing whatever’s on my mind (head to Roll with Molly for the latter).

How you can support ✨
