- The Perfect Approach to a Hard Topic
Molly is simply the best. I stumbled upon the podcast a couple of years ago when I was in a very dark place. Molly’s story is very similar to mine, and when I listened to her talk about it, I finally felt like I wasn’t alone for the first time in a long time. Molly makes it OK to not be perfect. Molly makes it possible to forgive ourselves. Since finding this podcast, I have been able to retrain my brain for the most part. I have still had a couple of very hard days where I would drink purely to... more

First of all, I could listen to Mollys voice all day and night. It feels like a warm hug from your mom. Her voice is soothing and makes me feel safe, especially when battling my relationship with alcohol and feeling uncomfortable in the midst of discovering what that looks like. I binged a few podcasts once I found her, and immediately felt seen, heard, and less alone.
Her perspective, experience, and wisdom is beautiful to learn from. She shares so much of the gray in life, in a black and whit... more

Excellent podcast! I have been working on shedding my perfectionist “all or nothing” thinking when it comes to my weight loss and health goals. This podcast helped me recognize I can shed that thinking when it comes to alcohol, too. It feels empowering and calming to know I can make lasting changes meeting myself where I am now.

Apple Podcasts5LostToCoyotesUnited States2 years ago - Love listening to Molly
From reading her book, to listening to many of Molly’s podcasts, coupled with her coaching programs, and having some one on one coaching personally from her - I truly have shifted my beliefs in myself, am learning to recognize thoughts as neutral or not even true, (my skewed perception of things) working to retrain how I respond to those thoughts - urges, practicing new beliefs., and the list goes on - learning to appreciate myself more - really working daily - practicing and more practice - all... more
