“If there is someone at the helm of big emotions, the rest of us will be okay.” – Dr. Jody Carrington

Intro

Today I’m super excited to share an interview with Dr. Jody Carrington! Jody is a fearless advocate for authentic human connection in her speaking, writing, and clinical psychology. She shares so much about her personal story: From how her upbringing on a farm in the rural town of Viking, Alberta taught her that she couldn’t rest to the way her identity was challenged when she learned that her parents had been hiding a secret sibling from her for her whole life. Plus, Jody shares her insights on trauma, empathy, and the power of analog human connection.

Dr. Jody Carrington is a powerhouse speaker and fearless champion for authentic human connection. She is highly sought after for her expertise, energy, and genuine approach to helping people solve the most complex human-centered problems. This rapidly disconnected world is leaving so many of us overwhelmed, lonely, and burned out. Dr. Jody boldly believes that all humans have the capacity for good; however, so many of us these days, because of isolation and burnout, have lost access to that good. Dr. Jody’s work often involves understanding just how we got to this disconnected place, what we need to put the pieces back together, and maybe most importantly, how we collectively do “the work” to find our way back home again when (not if) we lose our way. 

Her authentic, honest, and often hilarious approach never fails to inspire and motivate audiences. Dr. Carrington is the founder and principal psychologist at Carrington & Company, she’s written three best-selling books, speaks on hundreds of stages globally each year, and hosts the widely celebrated podcast Everyone Comes from Somewhere. 

In this modern world where we look all the time, but we don’t see, where we listen but we don’t hear, Dr. Jody is clear on one thing: we were never meant to do any of this alone. She is a mom to three, a wife (to her very lucky) husband, a hockey coach, a daughter, and a sister, navigating this world alongside everyone she has the privilege to learn from and serve.
