Mollie Adler is the creator and host of the podcast Back From The Borderline, a podcast exploring psychology, philosophy, culture, and the evolving landscape of human consciousness.

Through long-form audio essays and investigations, her work examines the intersection of mental health systems, depth psychology, spirituality, artificial intelligence, and the search for meaning in the digital age.

Her independent platform has grown into one of the most engaged creator-supported communities in podcasting, with:

• 5k+ Patreon members
• a global podcast ranking in the top 0.5% (Listen Notes)
• hundreds of long-form episodes exploring the psychology of modern life

Rather than presenting definitive answers, Adler documents an ongoing intellectual journey — investigating how individuals make meaning in a world shaped by collapsing institutions, emerging technologies, and shifting psychological frameworks.

Her work blends:

• depth psychology
• philosophy
• cultural criticism
• mysticism and symbolic systems
• technological analysis

Adler is also the founder of MOODS, a new category of reflective software designed as a symbolic interface for the psyche. The platform allows users to explore their inner world through structured dialogue with archetypal intelligences, transforming AI from an answer machine into a meaning engine.

She has spoken at South by Southwest (SXSW) on the intersection of artificial intelligence and consciousness, and her work has been featured in outlets including Novara Media.

Adler frequently speaks about:

• Artificial intelligence and consciousness
• The psychological impact of emerging technologies
• The failures of the biomedical model of mental health
• Depth psychology and archetypal systems
• Cultural power structures and institutional narratives

Adler welcomes invitations for podcast interviews, conference talks, panels, and media collaborations.
