About Our Founder, Molly Akers
Hi, I’m Molly!
I've always been a happy, go-with-the-flow kind of person—so much so that I was once hired as a "Hype Girl" by life coaches like Susan Hyatt (who’s even been a guest Call Her Daddy). At the time, I wasn’t entirely sure why a life coach needed a hype girl… but now? Oh, I get it.
I was raised to be polite, respect boundaries, and handle challenges with a deep breath and a plan. For years, I played by the rules—sticking to my lane, keeping things quiet, and not making a fuss over the "little things."
But then life had other plans.
So, I chucked that philosophy right out the window.
Because after everything I’ve been through, I’ve realized some things are worth making noise about… like love, kindness, and making sure people know just how truly LOVED they are.
And that’s exactly what Propeller Wags is all about because that's exactly what my boy Rocky did for me every single day whether it was a fun shiny or not so bright one. He just loved ME the way I was, unconditionally.
Oh, I've had a life full of unexpected turns—some tough, some inspiring, and all leading me right here.
I’ve been on The Oprah Winfrey Show, TODAY Show, NBC Nightly News, and CNN. I’ve met with Barack Obama’s White House staff, testified on state and national levels for patient advocacy, and coached cancer survivors to run their first 5K post-treatment. I even ran the Boston Marathon for Team MR8 in honor of Martin Richard, the youngest victim of the 2013 bombings.
People have told me my story should be a made-for-TV movie—or at least four different TED Talks. But that’s for another day.
Right now, we’re talking about Propeller Wags.
Because after everything I’ve been through, I know one thing for sure: feeling seen, loved, and truly SPECIAL can change everything.
And if a dog with a tail that spins in full circles can teach us that, well—I’d say that’s a story worth sharing.
Thanks so much for being here. Let's spread the wag and create Goosebump Moments together!
XO,
Molly
