In this episode of A Modern Man, JD Ferrell explores Collective Radical Healing—moving beyond survival and symptom management toward thriving, critical consciousness, and shared liberation. He breaks down the difference between coping and healing, unpacks the five anchors of radical healing, and examines how community, activism, grief, and resistance shape psychological well-being. This episode invites listeners to reflect on how individualism, denial, and disconnection keep us stuck—and what becomes possible when healing is rooted in collective change.
