About this episode

Nōn and Dr. Jennifer Mullan discuss the complexities of helping and receiving help, particularly for women of color.

On this episode of We Can't Do It Alone , Nōn sits down with best-selling author, scholar-activist, ancestral medium, podcaster (From Root to Bone), and founder of Decolonizing Therapy, Dr. Jennifer Mullan to explore the feeling of being held, what it's like for Dr. Jenn to ask for help as a woman of color, the systems that eat up big-hearted helpers, the beauty of sacred rage, why sometimes you need a helper who will talk to debt collectors for you, and all the many human things—resources, ego, energy, resentment—that influence our capacity for helping and receiving help.
