Jolie Holland is a world-renowned Los Angeles-based artist who has forged a timeless, captivating musical legacy mining the depths of her, at times harrowing, life experiences. Her fearless creative choices are rooted in honesty and presence. She is a co-founder of the musical trio The Be Good Tanyas and has been featured on Bob Dylan's "Theme Time Radio Hour"

Jolie was raised as a fourth-generation Jehovah's Witness, and her music inherently carries emotional themes inextricable from her cult experience. These concepts of cult dynamics are subtly woven throughout her newly released album Haunted Mountain, including on the mesmerizing title track, a duet with Buck Meek, guitarist for the band Big Thief.

In this unique and creativity-centered conversation, Jolie details how her childhood in a high-control group informed her musical output, explaining how music as a tool for communication can be a path to freedom of expression even while under the grip of authoritarian religion. Rachel and Jolie go on to discuss the lasting impacts of patriarchal ideology, explaining how its insidious nature can manifest personally and socially.

Before You Go: Rachel expands on the idea that high-control groups often encourage feelings of self-loathing in their followers. She explains the devastating impacts that can result from these types of harmful teachings.
