September 03, 2025014 | Codependency is Not Your Fault
Have you ever been told that your struggles with codependency or people-pleasing are all about you? That if you were stronger, or clearer, or more disciplined, you wouldn’t be stuck in these patterns?

In this episode, Molly explores why that isn’t true. Codependency isn’t a personal flaw – it’s a set of traits that compassionate, empathic, loyal people often develop when they grow up in a culture that glorifies hyper-independence and devalues care.

In other words: It’s not your fault. Most importantly, you’ll hear why none of this means you’re broken.

August 27, 2025013 | What Codependency Really Means (and Why It Matters)
Codependency is a word many of us have heard – but do you really understand what it means?

In this episode, Molly dives into the origins of the word codependency and explores why it so often traps compassionate people in painful relationship patterns. You’ll learn where the term came from, how it evolved, and why it still matters today – plus why boundaries are the key to moving out of codependency and into freedom.

There’s hope: Codependency isn’t your fault, and you’re not doomed to live in it forever.

August 06, 2025010 | Non-Violence as a Boundary: Aligning with Heart-Centered Change
What if standing up against injustice can be done from love, truth, and empowered compassion?

Therapist and author Molly Davis Moon explores the powerful concept of non‑violence as a boundary that can create exponential change. This isn’t about being passive or letting harmful behavior slide. It’s about choosing and practicing a way of life that stands up for vulnerable people and the collective wellbeing of all without replicating the harm we want to end.

This episode is especially for compassionate people who are tired of cycles of harm, are seeking an empowered way to create change, and want their actions to be the medicine the world so desperately needs.
