We Are the Compassionate Revolution

This week, Molly shares a special episode recorded from Maui just after the fourth and final live retreat of 2025 — with the retreat magic still swirling in her.

Molly takes you behind the scenes to the intuitive calling that led her to begin offering live retreats in the first place and offers a glimpse into what becomes possible when compassionate people gather in real time and space to do high-level somatic healing work.

She des...

Molly sits down with Christi Byerly, MCC, founder and CEO of Awaken Coach Institute, to explore how religious trauma, fear-based theology, and high-control faith systems shape a child’s identity, sense of worth, and ability to trust. Christi shares her personal story of growing up in a strict fundamentalist Christian environment where obedience, hierarchy, and punishment were normalized – and how that upbringing led to depression, ...

This week, Molly is joined by Brenda Knight, award-winning publisher, author, intuition-led trailblazer, and founder of Books That Save Lives (a mission-driven publishing house devoted to changing minds, healing hearts, and creating a more compassionate world).

Brenda is the publisher of Molly's new book, The Great All, and a deep force in today’s world of writing and media. Her story is one of courage, intuition, integrity, and f...

This week, Molly sits down with poet, minister, and Abstract Voices founder Taikeya J to explore how poetry – and the stillness beneath it – can reconnect compassionate people to their truth, emotions, and deepest dreams.

Taikeya shares how poetry became her sanctuary, how a high school poem about slavery was deemed “too strong” to publish, and how anger, healing, ancestry, and creativity can intertwine in the work of reclaiming ...

This week, Molly is joined by Dr. Melanie Griffiths – an academic, lecturer, and migration scholar whose work reveals what most of us never learned: how borders function, why human movement is not something new, and what’s really shaping the stories we’re told about “the other.”

Together, Molly and Melanie pull back from the news cycle and ask some big, tender questions: What is migration, really? Who taught us to fear it? And wh...

This week, Molly and clinical psychologist Dr. Molly Tucker – co-author of Saying the Wrong Thing – explore how compassionate people can speak up in emotionally charged moments. You’ll learn about psychological flexibility vs. rigidity, how to assess situational safety, what to try in the moment, and how to repair relationships when you’ve said (or not said) the “wrong” thing.

They also introduce a simple challenge: One Bold Thin...

Dr. Ingrid Clayton – clinical psychologist, author, and complex trauma survivor – joins Molly to explore what it really means to heal from the fawn response (a trauma pattern that teaches compassionate people to abandon themselves to stay safe). Ingrid opens up about her new book, Fawning: Why the Need to Please Makes Us Lose Ourselves and How to Find Our Way Back, offering insights into how the need to please can lead you away fro...

In this powerful conversation, Molly sits down with Neha Bhat (ABT, ATR-P), a licensed arts-based sexual trauma psychotherapist, visual artist, entrepreneurial coach, and bestselling author of Unashamed: Notes from the Diary of a Sex Therapist. Neha is also the creator of India’s first Global Sexual Trauma Healer’s Collective.

Together, Molly and Neha explore how sexual trauma, shame, spirituality, and culture intertwine – in the...

When loyalty becomes unboundaried, we lose sight of love and begin justifying anti-relational behavior. Group identification shapes perception, loyalty, and morality – and this phenomenon is playing out on the world stage. Unboundaried over-identification with a group – political, religious, social, or otherwise – can pull us away from our values. When loyalty becomes the highest law, love gets sacrificed and great harm is often do...

So many compassionate people are incredible at caring for everyone else yet struggle to turn that same care inward.  

Today, Molly offers a 16-minute guided meditation that invites you to pause, reconnect with yourself, and remember that your needs matter, too.

Let this be your reminder that self-care is not selfish: It’s love in action.

This week, Molly sits down with Lauren Smallcomb, author of the newly released book Golden Child: My Descent to Scapegoat and Rise to Freedom.

Tune in for today’s moving conversation, as Lauren shares her powerful and deeply personal journey with grief, wonder, and unraveling from fundamentalism to step into her authentic self. Her courageous story is one of resilience, clarity, and hope.

Whether you’ve navigated family estrang...

People don’t usually welcome adversity; it feels painful, lonely, and overwhelming. But what if some difficult seasons can become fertile ground for growth?

Molly explores how reframing hard times as a classroom can bring unexpected wisdom and healing. She also offers a song she wrote after just such a season, Song of the Seed.

If you’re in a difficult season right now: You’re not alone, you're not a failure, and there’s a way ...

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 burr...

This 26-minute walking meditation is a tool to move beyond codependency: Molly guides you through a gentle, grounding practice to bring you back into your body, back into the present moment, and back to yourself.

Whether you’re new to boundaries, deep in the process of healing from codependency, or simply looking for a calming way to reconnect with yourself, this guided practice invites you to step into your wholeness.

For even...

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...

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...

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...

What do you do when life knocks you flat – and you still have a deadline, a dream, or a calling to fulfill?

In this episode, Molly shares the story of losing hours of hand-drawn illustrations for her upcoming book just days before the submission deadline. The shock. The despair. The “I can’t even look at it right now” moments. And then… how she moved forward.

Whether you’re facing one of life’s curveballs or avoiding a long-sta...

This 23-minute guided meditation is designed specifically for compassionate people! If you're ready to embrace your role in a changing world, Molly offers this episode to help you step into your power and stay there, grounded in love rather than fear.

Whether it's part of your daily routine for maintaining a healthy nervous system or a tool you use during challenging times to reset and regain your center, this meditation is here ...
