Pregnancy and motherhood are some of the most transformative experiences a woman can face. But finding content that speaks to the depth of that journey—without shoving a product, a lifestyle, or a one-size-fits-all ideology down your throat—is nearly impossible. That’s why I created Back from the Borderline Baby.
After the success of my first podcast, Back from the Borderline, where I documented my journey of healing emotional wounds and confronting my fears around motherhood, this spinoff was born. It’s a dedicated space to house the pregnancy and motherhood content I wish I’d had during my own journey.
This isn’t your typical parenting podcast. There are no perfect mothers here. No guilt trips. No influencer-driven checklists of what you “need” to buy.
This is a space for women who crave something deeper: a thoughtful, minimalist approach to pregnancy and motherhood that honors your intuition, your journey, and the profound inner work that comes with this transition.
Each episode dives into the tools and insights I wish I’d had when I was navigating the same path. We’ll unpack everything from labor prep and postpartum recovery to the shadow work of breaking generational cycles. You’ll find nuanced conversations about motherhood that blend the practical with the spiritual, the exoteric with the esoteric, and the modern with the mythological.
This podcast isn’t about giving you answers – it’s about helping you dare to trust yourself enough to find your own. Whether you’re in the first trimester, chasing a toddler, or simply curious about what motherhood might mean for you, these episodes are your guide to navigating the noise, reclaiming your intuition, and creating a path that feels authentic to you.
Think of this as an alchemical audio-only sanctuary. A calming, intimate escape from the endless screens and curated perfection. You can listen in the car, on a walk, or in the bath. Wherever you are, this podcast meets you where you’re at—no judgment, no sugar-coating, just real, honest reflections from a woman walking the transformative path of Maiden to Mother right alongside you. We’re coming back from the borderline, baby.

Welcome to Part 5 of the Labor Map series, a multi-episode guide designed to help you navigate the unpredictable journey of labor with confidence and clarity. In this episode, we explore the emotional map of labor—a groundbreaking way to understand and recognize the emotional signposts that guide you through the phases of childbirth.
Unlike the traditional focus on physical milestones like water breaking or the mucus plug, this episode introduces you to the emotional landscape of labor. We’ll unpack three distinct emotional signposts:
• Excitement – The thrill and anticipation as labor begins.
• Seriousness – The shift into focused determination as contractions intensify.
• Self-Doubt – The moment when you question everything, signaling you’re on the verge of meeting your baby.
This episode is for every expectant mother and support partner—whether you’re planning a hospital birth, birthing center delivery, or home birth. These emotional signposts are universal tools that allow you to tune into the inward experience of labor. By integrating this knowledge, you’ll feel empowered to navigate each phase with confidence and recognize when it’s time to make pivotal decisions, like heading to the hospital or calling your midwife.
We also address common uncertainties, like:
• What if I don’t experience “textbook” signs like a bloody show or water breaking?
• How can my partner use these emotional cues to support me better?
Drawing on insights from the Bradley Method and my personal experience, I’ll share how recognizing these emotional phases helped me trust my intuition and make critical decisions during labor—despite not having traditional physical cues.
By the end of this episode, you’ll have a deeper understanding of the emotional rhythm of labor and how it can be just as important as tracking contractions or watching for physical milestones. Share this episode with your support partner and use it as a foundation for creating a labor experience that feels grounded, intuitive, and uniquely yours.
