Mollie Adler is a mental health advocate, 🏷️#podcaster, and 🏷️#writer recognized for her work on emotional healing and transformation. She is the creator and host of the podcast 📝Back from the Borderline, launched in 2021, which examines the intersections of psychology, spirituality, mythology, and personal growth. Within a year of its debut, the podcast ranked in the top 1% globally for downloads and followers on Apple Podcasts and 📝Spotify. Born in 1989, Adler has spoken publicly about overcoming personal adversity, including trauma and challenging relationships. She studied across beauty school, college, and various industries such as fashion and technology before earning a bachelor’s degree, later deciding against clinical training to pursue independent advocacy. Her approach is known for rejecting pathologizing frameworks of mental illness and instead promoting what she terms “emotional alchemy,” a reframing of psychological suffering as a path to transformation. She has been invited to speak at events such as 📝SXSW and has developed a significant following on 📝Patreon, 📝Substack, and 📝Instagram, where she continues to share reflections on myth, psyche, and resilience.
I was introduced to Back from the Borderline by 📝Jordan Bishop in September of 2025.
