  • Lonely Together: The Epidemic of Disconnection with Dr. Jody Carrington
    Jul 7 2025

    Send us a text

    In this episode of Talking Impact, we sit down with psychologist, bestselling author, speaker, mother, and podcaster Dr. Jody Carrington for a raw and energizing conversation on what’s really at the heart of the mental health crisis: disconnection.

    Drawing from her work, Jody shares how disconnection is at the heart of so many of today’s challenges and how reconnection is the path forward. From decoding trauma to redefining resilience, she reminds us that we can’t support the kids if the grownups aren’t okay.

    With equal parts heart, humour, and hard truth, this is a conversation about healing, showing up with our whole selves, and daring to believe that we were never meant to do any of this alone.
