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 six of the Labor Map series—a deep dive into the unique patterns of labor progression and the often misunderstood role of cervical checks. Labor isn’t a one-size-fits-all journey. Some mothers experience quick, intense progress (what we call the “speedster” pattern), while others settle into a slower, more measured rhythm (the “putterer” pattern). Neither is better or worse—they’re simply different paths to the same destination: meeting your baby.
In this episode, we unpack how recognizing these labor patterns can alleviate fear and uncertainty, giving you tools to navigate your birth experience with confidence. We’ll also demystify cervical checks, examining their risks, inaccuracies, and when they might actually be helpful. If you’ve ever worried about not being “dilated enough” or felt deflated by a discouraging cervical exam, this episode will provide clarity and perspective.
Key takeaways include:
• Understanding the speedster and putterer labor patterns—and how to adapt to either.
• Why emotional signposts are often a more reliable guide than dilation numbers.
• The real risks and limitations of routine cervical exams, plus how to advocate for yourself if you choose to decline one.
• Tips for partners to support the mother through varying labor patterns and help navigate decisions confidently.
This episode is a reminder that labor is as much about intuition and emotional progress as it is about physical milestones. By weaving together the emotional map of labor, the patterns of progress, and an empowered approach to cervical checks, you’ll have a comprehensive framework to guide your birth journey.
Whether you’re preparing for a hospital birth, birthing center, or home birth, this episode is an invaluable tool to approach labor with clarity, adaptability, and self-assurance.
