Fear is real, but it doesn’t have to run you. In today’s destabilizing times, fear is marketed, and unfortunately, it’s easy to become accustomed to anxiety. But you matter. And your worth is not found in your performance, but in your being.

Through the wisdom of the rabbit – adaptable, resourceful, playful even on the edge of danger – Molly shares thoughts from her recent travels and explores how we can honor times of quiet burrowing, growth, and rest – without mistaking them for weakness.

Molly offers her original song, Sit You Rabbit Down, written in 2017 as a prayer of resilience in fearful times. And she reminds us that we can recalibrate to love, again and again, as an act of rebellion and empowerment.

In this continuation of last week’s conversation, Molly unpacks how an extreme, individualistic culture – summed up by the myth of “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” – creates the perfect conditions for people-pleasing and codependency. She traces how compassionate, group-attuned folks internalize shame around needs, over-function to keep the peace, and burn out trying to do the impossible.

Molly also offers a powerful reframe: True strength is interdependence, and boundaries rooted in love are the doorway back to our power, personally and collectively.

In this episode, Molly explores:

• the history of the original “bootstraps” phrase, and why it was meant to be sarcastic.
• four ways bootstraps-thinking shows up as codependency symptoms.
• why sensitivity isn’t a problem – it’s part of the medicine.
• how boundaries don’t harden your heart; they free it to love wisely.
• the truth that you are not the problem: You’re experiencing a symptom of a problem that is changeable.

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.

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.

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.
