015 | Codependency is Not Your Fault (Part Two)

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.

four ways bootstraps-thinking shows up as codependency symptoms.
why sensitivity isn’t a problem – it’s part of the medicine.

014 | 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.

013 | 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.

What if standing up against injustice can be done from love, truth, and empowered compassion?
