We Are the Compassionate Revolution

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 Thing per week through 2025 – small, values-aligned actions that build courage and change culture. Will you join us?   Build the skill (and nervous-system capacity) to speak up – kindly, safely, and consistently.   This packed episode covers: tools for speaking up with courage (and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, or ACT). why being “afraid to say the wrong thing” is common. the cost of chronic peace-keeping. staying in hard talks without shutting down or exploding. how to gauge situational safety, micro-advocacy at the dinner table, and advocating for a trans family member ideas for repair after saying the “wrong” thing.   Today’s Guest: Dr. Molly Tucker is the co-author of the newly released book Saying the Wrong Thing: How to Speak Up in Difficult, Controversial, or Emotionally Charged Conversations.

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 from your true self. Together, Molly and Ingrid discuss why fawning is a nervous system adaptation, not a personality flaw, and how laughter, creativity, and embodied practices can restore a sense of self after relational trauma. They also examine spiritual bypassing, toxic positivity, and the cultural forces that keep compassionate people over-giving and disconnected from their truth. If you’ve ever felt yourself disappearing into relationships, or you’re trying to find your way back home to yourself, this episode is for you!   *****   In this chat, Molly and Ingrid uncover: the fawn response as a survival strategy, not pathology, and how it intertwines with attachment and early relational trauma. why “people-pleasing” and “codependency” miss the systemic and trauma roots. spiritual bypassing and toxic positivity as hidden self-abandonment. nervous system healing through EMDR, IFS, and body-based awareness. how true healing helps reclaim self, agency, and authenticity.   Today’s Guest: Ingrid Clayton, PhD, is a psychologist and author who specializes in the intersection of spirituality, addiction, and trauma. Her latest book, Fawning, shines a light on an often-overlooked trauma response, fawning, and delves into what it is, why it happens, and how survivors can reclaim their voice and sense of self. Her memoir, Believing Me, chronicles her personal awakening to a traumatic past, while Recovering Spirituality explores how spiritual bypassing can hinder true healing in recovery.

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 East and the West – and what true healing looks like when we reconnect to our hearts, bodies, and creative life force.

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 done.   In this thought-provoking episode, Molly explores a powerful human pattern: our instinct to pick a “team” and stay loyal to it, no matter what. This can be healthy and fun – or it can do damage.   But there’s hope: We can step back, remember our shared humanity, and choose love as the guiding boundary. And in modeling this for ourselves, we become a mirror that can help others break free.   Check out therapist and author Molly Davis Moon’s website: www.boundaried.com.

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.

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.   Check out therapist and author Molly Davis Moon’s website: www.boundaried.com.

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.   Check out therapist and author Molly Davis Moon’s website: www.boundaried.com.
