coreygronThe Best.Mollie has tapped into exploring the part of the psyche that those is power would rather us not know about or touch. She effortlessly spreads words of compassion and integration when discussing a variety of topics. Her podcast is for critical thinkers, independent souls, mystics, psychologists and scientists alike. I am blessed to have found this podcast and will continue to listen as I navigate this world. It brings a sense of comfort and makes me feel like I’m on the right path.

Marguerite1432AmazingThank you for creating and putting so much effort into this podcast ❤️❤️ As a therapist I am so inspired by you and all the listeners you have influenced 🫶🏻

Domenica ZanaInsightful and uniqueI’ve only listened to a few episodes, but the one about Lily Phillips really moved me. I have been intrigued and disturbed by this topic since it came out, and I really appreciate your deep insights and trenchant exploration of her decisions.

SASSYSINCE77THANK YOUI’m only a few episodes in and it’s already been amazing. Like you were speaking my truth. I have never left a review on here but needed you to know that I’m grateful to have found your podcast especially with what is going on now in America! Feeling lost, scared and completely overwhelmed I needed this in my life.

Frustrated9876Not a political podcastUpdate, how did the political complacency work out for everyone?? My review keeps getting taken down or altered to the older review. I’m not sure if Apple Podcasts gets kickbacks and screens out these reviews. I just find it suspect the suppression of dissenting voice, just as Mollie has turned off all comments as her followers and podcasts got bigger. Revenue generating machine now.) And yet the podcast is full of topics surrounding systemic issues, pharma lobbying, govt withholding data on aliens, references to Asian and indigenous medicine. This is all political. And a statement such as "this is not a political podcast" is quite naïve or willful ignorance. What was the point of the last show? Telling people to calm down when there are people unnecessarily being unalived. That is privilege. kept referring to this as "complex issues". Sadly we are in the crux of awakening and Mollie wants you to put a lid on it because she can't take people getting called out. Good luck ya'll. This is why there are mental health issues. And why was that podcast only for premium subscribers? So that new people listening to the show or on the fence about subscribing, don't get turned off from subscribing. "Leave it to the experts", leave mental health to the experts then, why listen to Mollie at all? Mollie also now spends a lot of the "submarine" exclusive podcasts reading verbatim articles and books.

DehjavaGreat psych info but some problematic classismIts pretty classist to refer to some jobs as menial or beneath people, especially when they are essential workers like Janitors….
-
prettylilladytMassive amounts of GRATITUDE ✨I can’t fully express the gratitude I felt and still feel upon hearing and seeing Mollie Adler for the first time. Each and every episode I’ve heard, has spoken to my spirit, soul, mind, and heart to the fullest. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU✨🦋

han-banan-I’m so glad Instagram brought me to youI share your feelings and opinions on social media, but I’m so grateful that I was on Instagram one lonely evening and saw a hopeful post of yours and swiped to the end to see you had a podcast. I decided to take a listen, and have been listening for the past week. Your words immediately brought me comfort. The way you think and express your thoughts so fluidly and easy to understand yet still packed with complexity, I’m sure you get this often but you put words to my thoughts and feelings. And knowing that someone who goes through many similar symptoms and hardships as me is doing so much better now and is healing and growing vibrantly, I just think that’s so beautiful and hearing about your journey gives me hope and motivation that it will get better and that I CAN change. Thank you for sharing your experiences and big feelings and insight with us. you are truly one of a kind, you have a bright soul. I hope nothing but love and joy for you. <3

Hello_RaskolJust thank youI am a 42 year old male with recent knowledge of my BPD, and your podcast has become my home away from home. I will subscribe when I have the funds, granted I don’t throw my hands in the air and quit this job. Thank you so much.

geographer05Episodes are too longThis podcast was recommended by a friend, and while I appreciate the topics - the first 45 mins of an episode I tried to listen to sounded like click bait… keep listening and I’ll tell you what this is. I will instead read the books she referenced since those might be more helpful.

fivestarriotTop tier informationMollie does due diligence to the most important aspects of mental health. I have been listening to this podcast from the first episode. She always delivers accurate, informative and personal commentary around the most complex topics in mental health. I have grown so much in my own alchemy from being able to listen to her podcast. Highly highly recommend.
-
dreadtribunalLove This Pod!I found this podcast thru Mollie’s posts on Instagram (amazing memes btw!) and I started listening because I go through a lot of similar issues discussed on the pod. It’s nice to hear about these symptoms and issues without the stigma that you usually see. It’s refreshing and as a fellow Jung-enjoyer she poses a lot of thought-provoking ideas.
-
parisggggggglong time listenerThis podcast helped me a lot last year. I especially related to and found comfort in topics like the mother wound, toxic family systems, toxic shame,family scapegoats. I really loved the host talked in such a way that was so relatable- in simple terms about topics and experiences that most everyone listening could understand and relate to. it made it feel like i was listening to a close friend talk about things I’ve had a lifetime of experience and struggle with too. I will say though i stopped listening as much recently. most episodes are still titled relatably but when you actually listen to the episode, it just sounds like a big word salad or a thesis paper. it just feels very commercial which is sad to see. would love to hear the old molly get on and talk about her life and some real stuff again.

Aunt HolsFrozen in fight flight or freezeOr maybe I am fighting or my nerves could be flying around me. I’m a 21 year almost 22 year traumatic brain injury survivor. I developed a disorder that causes constant shaking. My trauma started when I was 16 and I am now 37 and stuck. This podcast has given me a good idea of how I could be affected. Thank you!
-
Sierra0023This podcast has changed my lifeMy experience in therapy has been completely disempowering and this label has taken so much from me, but Molly is helping me to find empowerment beyond this diagnosis again. Molly is so intelligent and well read and eloquent in delivering the most useful and trauma informed information and weaving it together with spiritual principles to create a really holistic path of healing.
-
OddomissionGet to the point!Can’t even get through 10 minutes of the episode because she just can’t get to the point. If you’re gonna introduce a snippet from someone, we don’t need an introduction that lasts longer than the snippet itself.

tereeesesthe supplementary recovery you didn’t know you neededi found mollie at one of my lowest points in my life *hot mess teresa* and i think the timing was more than just a coincidence. i had just been discharged from my inpatient hospital stay and was newly diagnosed with the “borderline personality disorder” label. i agree with mollie, we don’t need diagnoses to define us, AND having a diagnosis can sometimes help people in getting the appropriate supports and healing resources they need. my diagnosis of bpd helped me find the recovery resources i needed, and it’s what led me to searching instagram for bpd support which presented me with mollie back when she was “bpd tea.” mollie makes me feel less alone, especially when my life felt unstable and lonely. the community she has created and grown over the last few years shows that we are not alone. you can find that others share similar experiences as you. in addition to attending therapy, mollie’s podcasts have supplemented and supported my recovery more than words can express. one of the quotes she mentions is, “take what resonates, and leave the rest.” i know there are individuals out there who don’t agree with some of her viewpoints, but it’s just like she said: take what resonates with you, and leave the rest.

JaytojohnHealingSo much healing in listening to hear series on shame. Mollie is a true Gem.
-
vellich0rbetter than any therapyI’ve been listening to the podcast for a year now and I cannot emphasize how much this podcast changed my life. I jumped from therapist to therapist for 3 years now, tried my own self healing, and it wasn’t until I stumbled upon this podcast when I finally began recognizing what I needed to heal. A few months ago I caved and joined the patreon and it’s 100% worth it. The way she explains trauma and pain feels so relateable and helps me feel so seen in my recovery, especially when it can feel so isolating and that no one truly gets what you’re going through. Thank for creating this community and helping so many of us struggling to find ourselves.

BillyBoWeepSex Work Doesn’t Have to be ShamefulI like the hosts collection of literature and how she interprets it and applies it to modern issues. She has a good understanding of how Western philosophies and medical practices can be dismissive and ultimately more harmful and helpful. She offers an alternative perspective that is valuable. With that said, I’m about sick of hearing her associate the “darkest times of her life” with sex work and putting medication down altogether. Some people legitimately need medication and many of us have found empowerment and freedom through sex work. It’s a highly stigmatized and personal choice, I wish she’d stop generalizing it. This is beginning to come off as fodder for the white woman seeking enlightenment so they have something to talk to their green haired friends about over brunch. Encroaching on SWERF territory.

ColinBensonHelping me work through the healings journey.I love listening to Mollie and it has been super helpful while going through my heroes journey. Unfortunately my life has been hitting a low point but at least Mollie is there for us. This is the only podcast that I have paid for Patreon access. I need to get around to building community by joining the Discord. There is so much content that I haven’t worked through yet. 5/5 and I tell everyone about it. Haha Editing this review because Mollie recently added detailed organization in Patreon and she did a phenomenal job!! Everything is super organized and labeled into categories and it just makes everything so easy to find. She truly is a gem of a human! I highly recommend becoming a premium submarine I get a lot of value out of it.

m4525Life changing contentMollie is so inspiring, uplifting, informative, and relatable. I am so thankful I discovered this podcast. I have gained so much from her content. I highly recommend subscribing to her premium content. It is worth every penny.

Oliviaac11223This show has gotten me through my worst timeThank you so much Molly, your show has been a best friend for me through my recent diagnosis and break up. I feel like you’ve held my hand though this rough time. Love you

AllijoyflyMore Than a PodcastLike many of Mollie’s listeners, I found BFTB when I was at a low point in my life. It helped me through tough times and reminded me that I am not alone in any of the issues I’m facing. A sense of connection to other people is incredibly valuable when you are healing your mental health. Along with creating a community of beautiful supportive people, BFTB also helped me connect with myself. The Hero’s Journey and other guided meditations were particularly helpful in this. I have been a premium submarine for over a year now, and I continue to love it and have 0 regrets! <3 I highly recommend this podcast to anyone interested in jungian psychology, self improvement, or alternatives to the medical model of mental health.
-
Danroid1984Not just for BPDThis is my favorite podcast. It is primarily focused on BPD symptoms, but doesn't feel at all like an exclusive club. I would recommend this podcast to anyone. The material is flexible enough to apply to any symptoms, issues, treatments, and coping mechanisms for any psychological or spiritual type of distress.
-
Slightly.SentimentalMy Podcast BestieMollie makes you feel like your her bestie. Like she really cares about her listeners because she genuinely does. She is an avid researcher of many resources and shares the best insights she has found that have actually helped her in hopes that they may help you, too. She also writes extensive show notes so that you can dive deeper into the resources for yourself.
-
Vonnie216Marvelous podcastI could fall asleep to Mollie’s raspy calm voice. The podcast is phenomenal. Her insight with the medical model of mental health has really helped me flourish in my own journey. 5 stars! Give bftb a listen, totally worth it!

Melogna_likebolognaPhenomenal podcast and podcaster!!!MOLLIE.I love your podcast and work you do so much that I finally became a premium submarine!! I know you say it every episode, that you are not a licensed professional, but to me that is not relevant. I am a college dropout with a certification for a job I hold now. To me that does not take away the knowledge and awareness you bring forth in your podcast and super helpful/hilarious/truthful Instagram. The intellect you have and share on your podcast about the system and how we look at mental health has basically opened my third eye to how I see my own mental health and “disorders”. Thank you for continually growing and sharing your thoughts, knowledge, spiritual insights and all you have. You are a gem and I am so thankful my friend shared your Instagram with me that led me to your podcast. We think you are going to go far with your work. You already have achieved so much! I can’t wait to see what else you do! Also, check out her Instagram if you are reading this, you will not be disappointed! Side note. If sounds and voices bother you like they bother me, Mollie’s voice will not disappoint or bother you, well at least it doesn’t bother me. Her voice is super soft, she talks at a great pace, soothing, raspy, beautiful voice that speaks her truths and isn’t afraid to be radical. Sending love! Mel-she/her

Disappointed listener100Disappointed in lack of self awarenessI am so truly disappointed in the lack of acknowledgment of genocide and molly victimizing herself when people 18000 people have died it shows how white women are able to ignore systemic racism and the effect is has on mental health. #another #privileged #whitewoman

Casslg515Life changingThank you Mollie for changing my life, for raising so much awareness and understanding for mental health struggles and for searching for answers where there have been done, searching for solutions for your listeners moreso than any healthcare provider. So well researched and the alternative therapy / treatment / utilization of alternative methods of healing discussed in this podcast is how the world will heal itself and it’s through people like Mollie willing to do this hard work and share it with the world. Well researched, well disclaimer-Ed that this is not a podcast by a mental health professional but by a real person with real experiences, trying to figure it all out like the rest of us. Incredibly validating podcast, my favorite of all podcasts period. Thank you Mollie for everything you are an angel 🩵 <3 Dr Cassie

oh my gosh kInvitation to a journeyListen in whatever order you choose, but know that this podcast has been a journey for the host and it’s an invitation to all those who start at the beginning. Some may disagree about various things Mollie says, but I hope you can take the gold and leave the rest. You don’t need to mine for it, it’s up for grabs on every episode. The coolest thing is that you can listen for free to hundreds of hours of content before you subscribe. The premium subscription has been ten fold worth it for me but listen to several free ones if you need to. My advice is to start from the beginning because like I said, it’s a journey.

Wisco PrimeIt’s goodI very much enjoyed the hero’s journey series. It was very enlightening.

taylorleighmvMy Favorite Podcast 💗I am so grateful that I happened to come across Mollie’s work. She’s truly a gift to us all — her content is so insightful, interesting, and healing. One of her podcast episodes on the concept of "Scapegoating" healed me more than 10+ therapy sessions combined. She covers the kinds of topics that I can’t find anywhere else, and she does so in such a refreshing and honest way. I am a premium subscriber, and it’s so worth it (I would pay more than I currently am for this content), but it’s incredible the amount and depth of content she puts out for free. I look forward to every new episode and will be a supporter for many years to come. Thank you Mollie for all you do! Xo PS. She also has the most soothing voice which makes the podcast that much more of a treat to listen to!

bezaonfiremy healing companioni've been listening to bftb since fall 2021. this podcast has been my healing companion week after week for two years, with the host mollie growing and evolving along with me (or so it feels!). the concepts of the mother wound, toxic shame, and scapegoating in family systems have revolutionized my life and recovery from so called borderline personality disorder. with the knowledge i've gained through mollies work, i've been able to release so much shame and become a much more regulated human. 🩷🫂

TianaXMixed feelings...I really wanted to like this podcast and she obviously works hard at putting out thorough episodes. But she doesn't strike me as super dialectical, there is a lot of black & white thinking, and the background music and monotone vocals really bother me. She also reads other peoples' articles and letters they send in verbatim and it starts putting me to sleep. Just summarize and put a link in show notes. There are really almost no good podcasts focused on BPD so I wanted to get into this one but just cannot.

ThymaniOne of the best podcasts!Amazing I just started listening and I’m hooked! It’s so helpful, raw , and deep. I absolutely love this podcast !!

Skiip2MaluTears fallingJust got done listening to 9/28/23 episode and I’m sitting here with tears falling. Feeling a deep resonance with everything that was said. Finding a likeminded community in itself can be so powerful and healing to our soul. May the universe bless you Mollie for the work that you are doing. Thank you for sharing your gifts.
-
Estela09Amazing contribution to societyI was raised by a BPD mom and it has deeply affected me. This podcast has helped me reach an understanding of what her experience of life may have been like and how to make sense of my own life and mind. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
-
gjesusiskingGood podcast but had to stop listeningThis is a good podcast, Mollie has a lot to offer. But I had to stop listening because a huge part of her message has become this misinformed hot take on why all disorder labels should be done away with. Like I get where she’s coming from and to each their own but you can’t get through an episode without hearing her couch that opinion with like a level of vitriol that just makes it so hard to listen to. I don’t think she realizes it’s misinformed nor cares at all haha. It’s fine if that kind of thing doesn’t bother you

Sarah M HailuForever Grateful 💕Oh, Mollie. I don’t even know where to begin. I stumbled across your podcast a while ago on Spotify because I was curious to know if there was anyone out in the world discussing BPD. I stopped listening for a while because I was not a good steward in my recovery. After a recent incident, I had the AHA moment. Not my first, but probably the most crucial one I needed. I went back and started listening again. Mollie, your podcast has opened my eyes and has helped me dive deeper into my recovery and my spiritual journey. I recently became a premium submarine and even switched to Apple Podcasts only for you, sis. 100% worth it. On a personal note, I feel like I relate so much to a lot of the topics you discuss. I love reading books and have always been so interested in mythology, spirituality, psychology and even quantum physics. It’s enlightening and healing to listen to you discuss these topics and bridge any gaps between mental health and spirituality. As it relates to the symptoms of BPD, it truly is comforting to know that there are so many people who have experienced the same big feelings I have. Thank you for your voice and for being a friend to all of us listeners. -Sarah 💕💞

wyhomingnanceThank YouMollie, thank you! The series on Shame! It is gorgeously done, I feel your sincerity and love. I am an ACOA and working with shame is so hard. Thank You again for normalizing it. Love your podcast.

meezus.5 stars simply isn’t enough.i’ve been playing an extreme game of catch up with this podcast so i’m listening to the older episodes and some of the new as they come. i love every single episode. each one has resonated. each one has reminded me that this journey i walk isn’t foreign to others and that realization has immensely helped me. i know i am not alone. sometimes the things discussed here sound eerily like myself and the validation i get from hearing like minded people like molly and all of the amazing guests she’s talked with has done wonders for me and helped me feel seen! thank u for making these podcasts. thank u for all of ur posts on instagram. ur amazing and i’m very proud of u!!!

AdamtheyellowdartjaffeApproval AddictMy name is Adam and I am an approval addict. For as far as I can remember I was told that how I behaved was wrong. I suffer from ADHD and at the age of 38 recently also discovered I am most likely dyslexic. While these are not excuses they are, to a degree, how I have been able to maintain my dependency on approval. Constantly telling myself that I am broken and placing the blame on these disorders. You’re episode on approval addiction meant a great deal to me. I have, since I can remember, sought approval of others as a means of validation for myself. I am self-destructive and self deprecating and while, objectively, I would be considered successful my life still feels empty without those around me, patting me on the back. Thank you for shedding light on this topic and opening my eyes to myself. Adam

walrusinayellowsubmarineI dont have BPD and this podcast still makes a huge impactI love that she acknowledges her own struggles and she talks about the importance of healing not just emotionally or physically but at the soul level. She has encouraged me to face my struggles (current and past) with self kindness. This podcast is so thought provoking and anyone interested should go for it and listen with an open mind- I am a Christian myself and I know I share some different religious/faith beliefs than Mollie but I still feel very welcome and seen and have felt so much more connected to my own faith and grown spiritually after listening to this. In middle school my best friend passed away in her sleep and Ive never been the same. I struggle with anxiety and the effects of constantly moving as a child with a military family (approval addiction was my first episode on the podcast, a big struggle for me being always the new kid growing up)-I have my own trauma from this but don’t struggle with BPD myself. Regardless I have taken so much from this podcast and also feel like she is helping break the stigmas associated with mental and spiritual health for people of all lifestyles and backgrounds. I hope you give it a chance whether you have BPD or if you don’t- this podcast reminds me that we walk this path together, we all are struggling together, we all are healing together. You are not alone❤️
-
Treasure Hunter JThank you!I happened to come across your podcast while looking for a different one. When I read the description it resonated with me instantly. Lol by the 4th episode I was crying right there with, it was the first time I truly cried in a very long time. I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your journey and having the courage to be vulnerable. Listening to give me hope! I’m truly, truly thankful!!

Mfry2893Life SavingI’ve been up to my neck in full blown BPD symptoms for the last 10 years at the very least, I didn’t have a diagnosis until about 8 months ago. I felt like there was no resolution, I have been stuck in repetitive negativity loops, cycles I feel like I could never break even with meds/therapy. I can’t even be honest with my own therapist most times, this gives you a safe space to move at your own pace, working on your shadows, and learning to love yourself. Most importantly, looking at it from a logical standpoint as well because if you have BOD you know that we’re usually ruled by emotional based thoughts. I love the little bits of incorporating spirituality as a part of healing. It’s a necessity. Thank you Mollie. You are a true angel on earth xo

eg portlandUseful , provides tools for living a better lifeMolly has a soothing voice and provides excellent information and tools for taming the symptoms associated with a BPD diagnosis. No quick fixes, she’s very honest about that.As someone who has worked in social work and nursing I often hear the misinformed and grim comments re BPD. So happy there are people de-stigmatizing and offering hope and understanding instead of the idea that nothing can help.
