Dr. Laura welcomes psychologist, speaker, and bestselling author Dr. Jody Carrington for a powerful conversation on what it means to stay human in an increasingly AI-driven world. Dr. Laura and Jody explore the increasing disconnection people feel in spite of constant digital access. Jody reframes what we label as a mental health crisis as, instead, a deep loneliness epidemic. She shares insights on how technology, social media, and the relentless push for productivity have chipped away at meaningful relationships and emotional regulation. She highlights the essential role of connection in helping individuals and organizations thrive. Dr. Laura and Dr. Carrington also address the urgent need to prioritize emotional regulation skills as a core strategy for leadership, rather than being a secondary consideration. Dr. Carrington offers practical and thought-provoking ways for us to reconnect, from creating tech-free spaces to practicing intentional pauses that restore presence and calm. Together, Dr. Laura and Jody shine a hopeful yet honest light on modern life, emphasizing that tools like AI can create efficiency, but they can't replace authentic interaction. Dr. Laura's thoughtful questions guide a rich dialogue on how individuals, leaders, and communities can reclaim connection, support one another, and build environments where people feel seen and valued. “Technology isn't the problem. How we use it is the issue, and we're up against it as humans because we are wired for connection.” - Dr. Jody Carrington About Jody Carrington: 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-centred 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 UNLONELY. 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.

The Better Life with Dr. Pinkston | Guest: Dr. Jody Carrington In this episode of The Better Life, Dr. Pinkston sits down with renowned psychologist, speaker, and best-selling author Dr. Jody Carrington to tackle the epidemic of emotional burnout, isolation, and stress in today’s rapid-fire, high-tech world. Together, they explore what it means to be fundamentally "human" in an era dominated by screens and automation, offering real, actionable wisdom on how to heal ourselves from the inside out. Key Takeaways from the Discussion The Two Rules of Humanity: Dr. Carrington breaks down our neurobiological wiring. We are built for authentic connection, yet looking each other in the eye remains one of the hardest things we do. The Dysregulated Body: We live with unprecedented noise. Constant notifications act as "cortisol shooters," locking our jaws and raising our shoulders in a primitive "fight or flight" response—even when we are perfectly safe. The "In and Out" Strategy: True self-care isn't just about bubble baths or kale smoothies; it's about regulating your nervous system. Dr. Carrington outlines her rhythm of "Go In, Go Out, Relentless Repeat." The Power of Small Actions: Healing a disconnected world doesn't require starting a massive non-profit overnight. It starts with small, intentional acts of acknowledgment—like waving at your neighbors or making intentional eye contact. Caring for the Helpers: A poignant look at how modern infrastructure fails to support our educators, medical professionals, and first responders, leading to a profound loneliness and mental health crisis among caretakers.

If you've been worried about the men you love—or you are one—this conversation is for you.Dr. Jody Carrington sits down with Nick Koumalatsos to talk about male loneliness and brotherhood, the state of men's emotional health, and why so many men are carrying crushing pressure without the words or space to name it. Nick makes a bold case: men aren't struggling because they're weak. They're struggling because they're isolated.Together, they unpack the “lone wolf” myth, the weight men often feel to keep performing no matter what, and how stress, anger, exhaustion, and disconnection can quietly harden into burnout, addiction, or despair. Nick also shares his own story—from childhood hardship to special operations, trauma, identity loss, and the long road back to connection.This one is honest, intense, and deeply practical.You'll hear:• Why male isolation is such a serious mental health issue• The difference between solitude, loneliness, and disconnection• How trauma gets buried when the job has to get done• What happens when identity cracks in midlife or after a major life chapter ends• Why men need brotherhood, not performance• How to notice who drains you, who fuels you, and where healing beginsJody and Nick also get into boundaries, nervous system care, purpose, and the small next steps that help people come back to themselves.If you care about men's mental health, modern masculinity, burnout, or building real human connection again, start here.---Links & Resources:• Dr. Jody Carrington: https://www.drjodycarrington.com/• Nick Koumalatsos: https://nickkoumalatsos.com/• Nick Koumalatsos Shop: https://shop.nickkoumalatsos.com/ Hosted on Acast.

If you've ever hidden in the back of a family photo, skipped a headshot session, or cringed when you saw a candid picture of yourself, this episode is for you.I sat down with Kristen Vallejo, a portrait and branding photographer based in upstate New York, who has made it her mission to help women feel comfortable and confident being seen. In this conversation, we unpack why so many of us (especially women navigating midlife) have such a complicated relationship with being photographed. We talk about the role social media has played in making us feel like every picture has to be perfect, why menopause can make it even harder to recognize yourself in photos, and how we can start to shift that.One of the most powerful reframes Kristen shares is this: visibility is generosity. When you hide from the camera, you're also withholding yourself ( your gifts, your presence, your relatability) from the people who need to see you. That hit me in a deep way, and I think it will for you too.We also talk about body diversity and representation, why photographers aren't looking at you with the critical lens you're using on yourself, and some practical tips to make any photo session feel less like a pressure cooker.Kristen's missing ingredient in midlife? Novelty. And I love that answer.In this episode, we cover:Why so many women approach the camera with terror, and what's underneath itHow social media has raised the bar for "acceptable" photos and what that costs usWhy going through menopause can make seeing yourself in photos feel particularly confrontingWhat body neutrality looks like in practice, even in a portrait sessionThe power of representation and why your visible presence matters more than you thinkPractical tips for preparing for a photo session without the overwhelmAbout Kristen Vallejo: Kristen Vallejo is a portrait and branding photographer based in upstate New York, specializing in entrepreneurs, small business owners, and those with animals in their work. She's passionate about capturing the real person behind the lens — not just a polished pose.

If you've done everything “right” and still feel anxious, disconnected, and like you're somehow failing…this one is for you.Dr. Jody and Grace Emmons unpack good girl conditioning burnout: how patriarchy, perfectionism, and people-pleasing can make high-achieving women look fine on the outside while quietly falling apart on the inside.

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 UNLONELY.

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. Read the show notes for today's episode at terricole.com/753
Dr. Jody Carrington is a renowned psychologist, best-selling author, and global keynote speaker known for shaking up boardrooms, classrooms, and living rooms with her powerful message that real human connection is our ultimate superpower. Hailing from Viking, Alberta, Dr. Jody draws on her rich background—from working with trauma survivors and her experience in Canada's national police force, to leading transformative conversations on mental health and leadership. Her relatable, insightful approach cuts through the noise, helping individuals and organizations rediscover the importance of authentic interaction in an increasingly disconnected and tech-driven world. Takeaways: · Connection is a Biological Need: We are neurobiologically wired for connection, and no matter how advanced AI becomes, authentic human relationships can never be automated or replaced. · Privilege and Purpose: Dr. Jody's journey has taught her the power and responsibility that comes with privilege, and she's on a mission to use her voice to foster inclusivity, compassion, and genuine connection—especially in a world grappling with loneliness and division. · Rest Fuels Leadership: True emotional intelligence and effective leadership require rest and self-care; when we neglect our own well-being, we lose access to our best selves and our capacity to authentically connect with others. Sound Bites: · "We will never automate relationship, no matter how good we get at AI." · "The only AI that's going to matter in the next generation is authentic interaction." · "You can't give away something you've never received, which is why EQ is a privilege."

Mind Love • Modern Mindfulness to Think, Feel, and Live Well
In this episode, you'll learn: Why “you're not that good” might be the most freeing thing you'll hear all year How to stop performing connection and actually feel it What your nervous system, your kids, and your future self really need from you You ever feel like connection shouldn't be this hard? We're wired for it. Built to bond. Yet somehow, we live in a world where loneliness feels like a personal failure—like if you're not constantly fulfilled by your partner, your kids, your group chat, your job, something must be wrong with you. We love to look back and pretend we had it better before. When moms baked sourdough and kids played outside and families sat down for dinner without a single screen in sight. But ask your parents if they ever felt truly seen. Ask your grandparents if they ever really knew their own parents. The truth is, disconnection isn't new. We've just gotten better at distracting ourselves from it. Now we're not only lonely—we feel broken for being lonely. Like we're doing life wrong. Like we just need to try harder, be more intentional, fix ourselves. But what if the answer isn't in trying harder? What if the truth is… you're just not that good? Not in a shameful way. In a liberating way. You're not supposed to be perfect. You're not supposed to hold it all together, all the time, with no village and no margin for error. And the sooner you admit that, the sooner you get to breathe again. And by the way—that line? You're not that good? That's from today's guest, Dr. Jody Carrington. And when she said it, it hit like a truth I didn't know I was waiting for. She's a psychologist, speaker, and bestselling author who's spent decades helping people reconnect—with each other and with themselves. From psychiatric units to packed stages, her work is refreshingly raw, deeply human, and just the right amount of hilarious.

Work-life balance: is it an actual thing, or just a myth designed to make us feel like we're failing at everything? Spoiler alert: it's probably the latter.In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Jody Carrington—psychologist, speaker, author, and the human equivalent of a warm, no-BS pep talk. Dr. Jody brings two decades of experience working with kids, families, and communities, and she's here to unpack the real reason we're all feeling stretched too thin: we're disconnected. Dr. Jody's philosophy is simple but powerful: when we truly *see* and acknowledge each other, everything shifts. Whether it's parenting struggles, work stress, or that recurring argument about who forgot to defrost the turkey, reconnection is the key to building resilience, easing burnout, and finding a little more joy in the chaos. Here's what we cover: Why work-life balance is a lie and what we actually need to thrive. How to regulate your emotions so you can respond instead of snapping at your partner (or your kids). Practical parenting tips to strengthen your connection with your little humans. This isn't another episode about doing *more*. It's about meaningful connection—the kind that actually makes life feel better.

Have you ever felt that others just knew how to lead, how to navigate social media, have more emotional regulation or just pretty much having it together? Today we sit down with clinical psychologist, Dr Jody Carrington about exactly this: emotional regulation and learning when you don't have the script yet. We talk about happiness, and the fact that NO ONE is happy ALL the time, but we can be vulnerable with our joy. Check out www.drjodycarrington.com or @DrJodyCarrington on socials.
