Episode notes

Join Nadia Chaney and Sean Harvey in a deeply hopeful conversation about courage and compassion, and a deep dive into healing the masculine. Sean makes a compelling case that healing men is the most direct path to transforming systems.

Sean Harvey has spent his career going where most facilitators won't: into police departments, military units, prisons, and far-right extremist circles, and doing it with love. Sean shares his remarkable journey from homeless and couch-surfing in post-9/11 New York, to doing soul-healing work with the hardest-to-reach men in America, with a rich breadth of experience in between.

They explore how to meet hate, and also question if there is a place for it. You'll hear why belonging and unhealed wounds drive radicalization, and how our inner work becomes the foundation for working in groups. Sean introduces his frameworks: the stomach, will, skill, and cred; the bridging mindset; and using courage, curiosity and compassion in all his work.
