The Unfolding: Presented by The Loveland Foundation

A network of conversations grounded in identifying abundance in us all. At the heart of these dialogues, two people are meeting, in a distilled moment, and process, with gratitude. Showing up for the journey to receive and give— showing up for reciprocity— knowledge that we do not always emphasize in Western cultures but need to in order to fully divulge and embrace the complicated nature of self. It is in these rituals of nourishing the spirit that we can also prioritize community, compassion, and responsibility. The Unfolding is a gift to embrace wholeness, together.

  The Joy of Rage with Dr. Jenn

  Sep 18, 202657 min

  In this episode of The Unfolding: Presented by The Loveland Foundation Podcast , host Rachel Keener welcomes back Dr. Jennifer Mullan (Dr. Jenn) for a conversation about “Sacred Rage”, grief, burnout, and what it means to come home to ourselves. Dr. Jenn shares how writing her upcoming book on rage reshaped her understanding of rage, not as something to suppress or fix, but as a path toward love, transformation, and deeper self-awareness. She introduces the idea of “soul dehydration” to explore the deeper roots of burnout and asks us to consider where we may be missing joy, pleasure, rest, and community care. Together, Rachel and Dr. Jenn examines how systems like white supremacy and patriarchy shape our exhaustion, while offering another way forward: listening to what our rage is telling us and making room for rest, boundaries, joy, and fuller self-expression. Listen in for an honest conversation about rage, healing, and finding our way back to ourselves. More about Dr. Jennifer Mullan: Dr. Jennifer Mullan is a best-selling author and founder of The Center for Decolonizing Therapy®. Known as “the Rage Doctor” and trained as a psychologist, she is a bold, leading voice in reimagining mental health through the lens of colonization, generational trauma, and systemic harm.

Integrating somatics, neuroscience, and psycho-spiritual practice, she supports individuals and communities in reclaiming their wholeness. She lives on Lenape land in Northern New Jersey and is the author of the forthcoming book Sacred Rage. – The Unfolding: Presented by The Loveland Foundation podcast is an additional resource not only to the public but also to our therapy fund cohort members.
