Summary
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.

| 0:00.0 | Well, hello there. Welcome to this episode of the Terry Cole show. |
| 0:05.6 | Talking all about human connectedness, human relatedness today. How does tech impact the way we |
| 0:15.3 | relate in our relationships? How is it impacting burnout? I am talking to Dr. Jody Carrington. So interesting. |
| 0:24.9 | She's got a bunch of books out. She's a powerhouse speaker and really a fearless champion for |
| 0:30.1 | authentic human connection, which is what we were talking about during the entire thing. |
| 0:34.8 | I was asking her all kinds of questions about her life and like, |
| 0:37.7 | what brings you to want to do this? But what I love about her stance is that she really boldly |
| 0:43.9 | believes that all humans have the capacity for good, which I do too. However, so many of us these |
| 0:49.7 | days, because of isolation and burnout, have lost access to that good. |
| 0:56.3 | And I think that that really is true. |
| 1:00.3 | When you talk about things that you can do in this episode of the Terry Cole show, |
| 1:21.3 | so I hope that you enjoy my conversation with Dr. Jody Carrington as much as I enjoyed talking to her. This is the Terry Cole show, and as you might have guessed, I'm your host, Terry Cole. |
| 1:26.1 | For over two decades, I've been a licensed psychotherapist, love and boundaries expert, |
| 1:29.0 | and I'm also the founder of the Real Love Revolution and Boundary Boot Camp. On this show, I'll bring you simple strategies based on practical |
| 1:34.0 | psychology, inspiring expert interviews, and my own insights and observations from my time on the |
| 1:40.2 | front lines in the fascinating world of entertainment, empowerment, and mental health. |
| 1:45.3 | Now let's get going with today's episode. |
| 1:55.3 | I'm super excited to welcome Dr. Carrington to the show. Hey, Jody. Welcome. |
| 2:21.1 | Terry Cole. Listen, this is a dream for me because you're a goddamn superstar. So it's so exciting to be here. I'm so happy we're here that we finally got it together to do it. We really have so many similarities, as I was saying at the top of the show, so much of the work that we do. But before we get into all of that and your books and your stuff and what motivates you, |
| 2:27.6 | I want to know your backstory, right? All of us do what we do for a reason. |
| 2:32.2 | All of us, anyone who gets into mental health, there's specific reasons why. So let's say you were a Marvel movie character. What would your |
| 2:36.4 | origin story be of like, what got you here? You know what? I mean, I grew up in a little |
