Dr. Jody Carrington is a powerhouse speaker and fearless champion for authentic human connection.  She is a clinical psychologist, speaker, and author. She has spent most of her career working with children and families who have experienced trauma. She believes in two things: that you are exactly where you need to be, no matter how painful or wonderful, and that we are wired to do hard things. More importantly, we are wired for connection, and we were never meant to do this alone. She joined us today to talk about her book, ‘Feeling Seen: Reconnecting in a Disconnected World.'From the challenges of navigating burnout and mental health issues, to the stigma surrounding emotions and the need for an emotional language, Jody shares their expertise and personal journey. They remind us that no matter our gender or background, we all share the same emotional makeup and the power of addressing, rather than suppressing, our feelings.So, prepare to be inspired and challenged as we embark on a journey of growth and self-discovery with the incredible Jody Carrington. Get ready to reshape your perspective on relationships, emotional well-being, and the true essence of being a remarkable human being. [06.13] Looking into the eyes - The hardest thing we will do is look into the eyes of the people we love.[12.53] Work from home – We dive deep into the things we miss when we work from home.[21.04] Emotional dysregulation - Uncertainty, fear, and no end in sight are the three ingredients of emotional dysregulation.[30.34] Emotional language - If you don't have the ability to stand up for big emotions in your team, you will not be as successful as you can be.[37.05] Alone with thoughts – We discuss why people are afraid of being alone with their thoughts.[50.01] Lack of purpose – We talk about the lack of purpose in people's lives and why it's perfectly normal not to figure out who you are supposed to be in life. [01.00.28] Craving acknowledgment – The key to healing is acknowledgment from others.[01.10.27] Empathy is a skill – Having to seek first to understand before being understood is the most critical skill. It takes effort and practice.ResourcesConnect with Dr. JodyLinkedIn - linkedin.com/in/dr-jody-carrington/ Twitter - twitter.com/DrJCarrington Instagram - instagram.com/drjodycarrington/ Website - drjodycarrington.com/ Book by Dr. Jody CarringtonFeeling Seen: Reconnecting in a Disconnected WorldBook by Mitch AlbomTuesdays with Morrie: An Old Man, a Young Man, and Life's Greatest Lessonamazon.com/Tuesdays-Morrie-Greatest-Lesson-Anniversary/dp/076790592X Book by Jesse ThistleFrom the Ashes: My Story of Being Indigenous, Homeless, and Finding My Wayamazon.com/Ashes-Story-Indigenous-Homeless-Finding/dp/1982182946/ Book by James ClearAtomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Onesamazon.com/Atomic-Habits-Proven-Build-Break/dp/B08BJ5JHX2/

I laughed so hard while recording with Miranda that my daughter actually came into my office to check on me. Miranda officially coined my new favorite book genre: Bumpy Covers. You already know exactly what that means, don't you? There are certain books you turn to when you can't deal with the world, and those books frequently have bumpy covers. Miranda cherishes books, and I so enjoyed talking to her about how she lives with them, how she shows them love, how she marks them up, and why “Memoirs of a Geisha” by Arthur Golden is the Best Book Ever.   Support the Best Book Ever Podcast on Patreon   Follow the Best Book Ever Podcast on Instagram or on the Best Book Ever Website   Host: Julie Strauss Website/Instagram/Facebook   Guest: Miranda Mackie   Discussed in this episode: Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden Mark Lefebvre appeared on the Best Book Ever Episode 008 Brene Brown The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver Memoirs of a Geisha movie Untamed by Glennon Doyle From the Ashes: My Story of Being Métis, Homeless, and Finding My Way by Jesse Thistle White Fragility: Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism by Robin Diangelo Rude Awakenings from Sleeping Rough by Peter C.
