Podcast appearances and mentions of molly lacroix

We are born with innate qualities that reflect the image of God. As an adaptive response to adversity, we develop protective parts that block true connection with God, ourselves, and others. These protective parts can show up through perfectionism, blame, judgment, and other constrained attitudes and actions. Though we may not like them, these parts of us need our loving awareness and attunement.   In this episode, Kristin sits down with Molly LaCroix, LMFT, to explore how to recognize and gently befriend your internal family through the lens of Internal Family Systems (IFS). This is a grace-filled invitation to begin healing the inner chaos with compassion and curiosity. This conversation continues in the next episode: The Chaos Inside – How Betrayal and Unwanted Sexual Behavior Impact Your Internal Family System with Molly LaCroix.   Learn more about Molly's work, including her books and free resources by visiting her website: https://mollylacroix.com/  

On this episode: A new Samson website updates and an opportunity for IT volunteers. Nate takes his ear muffs off. Aaron shares what makes Jesus like you more. This week, Nate and Aaron interview Molly LaCroix. Molly is a therapist and author from Bend, Oregon. She helps Nate, and Aaron apply the principles of I.F.S (internal family systems) to the lives of Samson and David (from the Bible). Discussion includes the potential that both Samson and David were sex addicts with details that aren't frequently considered. Molly explores that emotions are as physically rooted as a broken leg. She explains why sin doesn't feel like running a cheese grater over our chest but has pleasure, adrenaline, and sometimes power. She also discuses a cohort for minister workers that is happening in 2026, and how you can be involved.Links: Molly LaCroixBooks: Journey To Shalom: Finding Healing, Wholeness, and Freedom in Sacred StoriesSept. 12-14, 2025 Austrian Retreat Nov 7-9, 2025 Santa Fe, NM Samson Summit Nov 7-9, 2025 The Wild & Sacred Journey, Womens RetreatSponsor: Life Works CounselingIf you have thoughts or questions and you'd like the guys to address in upcoming episodes or suggestions for future guests, please drop a note to piratemonkpodcast@gmail.com.

Molly is the real deal!  Molly talks about IFS - Internal Family Systems Therapy, and we talk about —Adverse childhood experiences a bit.   There truly are so many helpful tools and healing modalities to help us find deep and lasting healing from the hard things we've experienced.

I am so excited to have therapist, author, and speaker Molly LaCroix on the Still Becoming Podcast. Molly was one of my very first Instagram therapist friends I made when I started sharing my work publicly, and I have always had admiration for both her presence and her clinical expertise. Molly brings great wisdom and nuance to our conversation about understanding the different parts of ourselves through the lens of Internal Family Systems. I appreciate so much the way Molly talks about things, including the integration of a faith perspective and psychological theory. I hope you leave this conversation the way I did, both informed and refreshed, with a reminder that curiosity and compassion are essential for loving yourself, healing, and growth.

Welcome to the At Sea podcast. I'm your host, Justin McRoberts. Molly Lacroix is my guest on this episode. And as a marriage and family therapist, she engages in the kind of art I find inspiring, incredibly rare, and necessary. She takes what would otherwise be, perhaps even frustratingly, wildly difficult concepts, things out of the reach of the average person's daily knowledge, and then boils those down and communicates those in such a way that folks like me can get handles on those ideas, but does so in a way that doesn't, I don't know, demean me, or, just as importantly, doesn't do so in a way that diminishes the depth, richness, and complexity of the traditions and the systems she's referencing. Working at the intersection of spirituality and interpersonal relationships. As a family therapist, she's trained explicitly in internal family systems, which is a model of understanding human interaction, our engagement with the world, our relationships, and the systems we function in. I find it deeply freeing, and it has been really helpful for my practice and the lives of many people I care about. This was a fascinating and wonderful conversation. I think you'll benefit from it.Check it out. Links for Molly LaCroixWebsite - https://mollylacroix.comLatest Book - Restoring Relationship: Transforming Fear into Love Through ConnectionLinks For Justin:JustinMcRoberts.comSupport this podcastNEW Single - Let GoNEW Music - Sliver of HopeNEW Music - The Dood and The BirdNEW Book - Sacred Strides (Pre-order)Amazon Barnes and Noble It Is What You Make itHearts and Minds Amazon Barnes and Noble

"Why do Christians talk so much about love but often, fail to be loving?"Molly LaCroix is the author of that quote, a speaker and licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT). She specializes in treating the impact of early adverse experiences and trauma, using the Internal Family Systems (IFS) Model she finds as a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to healing, and a model deeply congruent with Christian spirituality.Molly and her husband live in Central Oregon, an outdoor paradise offering, among many things, Molly's two favorite activities: hiking and downhill skiing. In 2018, Molly became “Minnie” to her first grandchild, a life-altering event. She loves telling people that every cliché you've ever heard about being a grandparent is true. Minnie and Papa visit their children and grandchildren in Southern California as often as possible.In this episode, we take a very deep dive into the places of trauma and paths toward healing, which require us to listen to all of the parts within us that battle with, protect and need to be fully integrated with each other. We found ourselves just wanting to know more and more.Molly is kind, gentle and brilliant, the perfect combination if you are in search of true, long-lasting self-discovery and healing.

If you've been around Becoming Boundaried for a minute you know that I am crazy about relationship. Both relationship with SELF and relationship with others (because you can't have one without the other). When our boundaries are rigid, we are so often coming from a place of fear and judgment, which leads us to feeling isolated and lonely. The reality is, we are relational beings. But judgment breaks our relationships because we are saying my way is right therefore you are wrong-therefore there is no ability to connect. We dodge vulnerability and we often find ourselves in relationships where we are working to fix, control and manage others. These over-functioning parts can often block the true intimacy and connection that deep down we desire. My guest today, Molly LaCroix is also passionate about relationship. In this interview, Molly talks about her own childhood adversity and the pain it caused her, which created a rift in her system. She explains how when we are left to process something that we don't have the inner capacity to process on our own, it gets stuck and it shapes the choices moving forward that we make. So many of us wonder why we make the choices we do-we feel stuck and confused yet when Molly explains how childhood adversity and trauma get stuck in our system-it makes the 'stuckness' we experience make so much sense! In this episode, we discuss healing from trauma using Internal Family Systems, how easily beliefs can get stuck in our system, and why we use fear and judgment to block us from experiencing true connection in our relationship as well as the pain that it can cause. Listen to discover: What over-functioning really is and why we do it. What is the difference between judgment and discernment? How a U-TURN can help us stay on our side of the street and lead us to deeper connection with others. The skill we already have within to create beautiful and meaningful relationships. Why we opt for rules over relationship. What it means to have an experience stuck in our system. Why we hold onto negative things more easily than positive experiences. Why the missing link of relationships is emotions. I love Molly's gentle and loving approach because safety and connection truly are what help us heal. God's design for us friends is to heal. And this conversation will help you understand why. Lastly we also touch on the topic of anger-one of my favorite emotions. Molly helps us recognize where to start if you are terrified of your anger but realize you've got it buried deep down within and need to slowly let it go. "We can get curious about why a part of me is having this reaction to another person.-tell me more…" Molly LaCroix "Uncertainty frightens us," Molly LaCroix "Fear of vulnerability is always the underbelly of resisting connection with others." Molly LaCroix "Our parts need to be heard and welcomed just as they are." Molly LaCroix "I was raised in the church of ONE RIGHT WAY."

Molly LaCroix joins the podcast to talk about her new book titled, Restoring Relationships: Transforming Fear into Love Through Connection. Molly walks with us through Internal Family Systems and reflects on the healing that can bring. For those who have experienced pain in relationships - whether betrayal, withholding of forgiveness, abandonment - the lingering question often is, “How do we restore ourselves and these relationships?” And that question is what we will talk about. In this conversation with her, I learned so much and felt invited to continue on the path toward wholeness with a renewed hope. You won't want to miss this one! Enjoy!

Molly LaCroix is a licensed marriage and family therapist, author, and speaker. As a therapist, Molly knows that we need loving relationships when we are struggling with life's challenges. However, she noticed that, due to fear of vulnerability, people often struggle with being a supportive presence in one another's lives during times of suffering. And that's exactly why Molly wrote her book, Restoring Relationship: Transforming Fear into Love Through Connection. In her book, Molly explores the root of our vulnerability and offers practical ways to transform fear into love through connection. In my time with Molly, we talk about her experience of God amid her battle with cancer, some helpful ways of handling societal messages around ageing, some practical ways we can choose love over fear-in our relationship with ourselves and with others, and how miraculous it is that we can heal, personally and interpersonally. My hope is that this episode will leave you more hopeful and will encourage you to persevere in the lifelong journey of healing and transformation, as we are all being shaped to become more infused with Love.
