Connection Expert Dr. Jody Carrington: You’re Not Broken — You’re Just Disconnected

Description

We are told we're in a mental health crisis, with rates of anxiety and depression higher than ever before. But what if it's not a mental health crisis at all? What if what we're truly experiencing is an "understandable human response to a loneliness epidemic?" In this episode, I'm joined by the incredible Dr. Jody Carrington psychologist, bestselling author, and renowned "connection crusader." Dr. Carrington argues that the path to healing isn't found in isolation, but through reconnection with those around us. She shares a deeply personal and astonishing story from her own life that taught her the most important component of human connection a 40-year-old family secret that revealed a sister she never knew she had. This conversation is a powerful reminder that we are wired for connection and that the things that hurt us most often hold the key to healing us.
