Unlonely with Dr. Jody Carrington — Health & Fitness
Unlonely with Dr. Jody Carrington

We’re not in a mental health crisis… we’re in the midst of a loneliness epidemic.

Psychologist and renowned speaker Dr. Jody Carrington knows that while we’ve never been more “connected,” we’ve also never felt more alone. Unlonely is a mission to bridge that gap. This isn’t a clinical lecture; it’s a masterclass in reclaiming our humanity through the radical act of seeing one another.

Every two weeks, Dr. Jody sits down with world-class thought leaders to tackle the visceral reality of workplace burnout, nervous system regulation, and the anxiety of a digital age. Through raw, unfiltered stories and tangible strategies, we explore why we disconnect – and exactly how we get back to each other. Whether you’re navigating trauma-integrated leadership or the chaos of modern parenting, this is your permission slip to stop doing it all alone.

Because understanding what it takes to become truly “unlonely” is the most urgent answer of our time.

Join us every two weeks as we learn to walk each other home.

Your Kid Has Probably Seen Porn… and Other Things No One Told You to Say Out Loud - Dr. Robyn Silverman Dec 11, 2025

Show notes

Real talk, parents: if you’ve got a kid with access to a screen, odds are they’ve seen something they weren’t ready for. And guess what? That uncomfortable convo you’re avoiding? It’s exactly the one you need to have.

In this no-BS episode, Dr. Robyn Silverman joins Dr. Jody to crack open the truth about modern parenting:

Why “kids these days” aren’t broken — the world is just louder.

Why YOU need to say words like “porn,” “vagina,” and even (gasp) “clitoris.”

Why it’s never too late to start the conversation — even if you fumbled it the first time.

And how “parenting out loud” changes everything.

This one might make you laugh, squirm, and cry a little… but it will absolutely make you feel less alone.

No Kids, No Apologies - Emily Paulsen Nov 27, 2025

Show notes

“So... do you have kids?”

That one question—THAT ONE—can derail a whole damn conversation. Because if the answer is no? Suddenly, you’re forced to explain your whole existence. This week on Unlonely, I dive into it with the brilliant, badass, and beautifully bold Emily Paulsen who is child-free by choice, and not here to play by anyone else’s rules. We unpack the stigma, the double standards, the asinine questions (Hi, Uber drivers 🙃), and the truth about why choosing not to have kids is just as valid, beautiful, and bold as choosing to have them. Whether you're a mama, an auntie, child-free, child-less, questioning, exhausted, or just trying to make sense of how to be a woman in this damn world—this episode is a deep breath of truth. And spoiler alert: You get to choose. Full stop. No explanation required.

You’re Not Broken: Burnout, Nervous Systems & the Power of Self-Awareness - Natasha Dorsey Nov 13, 2025

Show notes

Okay friends, listen. I think one of the most powerful interventions we can make in this next generation isn’t just another behaviour strategy or classroom tool — it’s helping big people understand how their own brains work. That’s why I could not wait to bring Natasha Dorsey on the pod. She's a clinical hypnotherapist, cognitive science researcher, solo parent, and soon-to-be PhD — and she’s doing some of the most important work I’ve seen around burnout, regulation, and why we’re all just so damn tired.

In this episode, we talk about why the nervous system has to come first (yes, before curriculum, before interventions, before another behaviour plan), and how self-awareness is the game changer we’re not talking about enough. Natasha walks us through what she calls “internal self-monitoring,” how to reframe our autopilot reactions, and why tiny, doable shifts (like changing your grocery store or taking a different route home) can literally rewire your brain for safety and connection.

If you’re an educator, a parent, a leader — heck, a human — who’s ever felt like you should be coping better, or that maybe you’re just not cut out for this anymore… please, listen to this. You are not broken. You’re likely just dysregulated. And you have so much power to come back to yourself.

Women's Health, HPV & the Healing Power of Story - Dr. Elizabeth Goldspink Oct 30, 2025

Show notes

If 80% of women have HPV, why aren’t we talking about it?

This conversation with Dr. Elizabeth Goldspink cracked wide open what so many of us feel but don’t say: women are lonely, overwhelmed, and often dismissed by a system that wasn't built with us in mind.

We talk cervical health, perimenopause, trauma, and the stories our bodies hold onto when no one is listening. Spoiler alert: your nervous system is screaming for rest, not hustle. And you’re not that good at doing it all alone — none of us are.

This one’s for the women walking each other home. 💥

Didn’t Want a Podcast, Now You Can’t Shut Me Up - Dr. Jody Carrington Oct 02, 2025

Show notes

I didn’t even want a podcast. And now? I can’t shut the hell up. Welcome to Unlonely Season 3 — where we question everything, swear a little too much, and try to make sense of this wild ride called being human.

In this opener, I unpack the absolute chaos in my brain:

My dad died and it cracked me wide open.
Menopause is trying to ruin my life.
Motherhood? A beautiful disaster.
Entrepreneurship? Glorious. And also lonely as hell.
Oh, and the institution of marriage? A f*cking lie.

This season, we're talking about what it actually means to live, lead, grieve, mother, build, fall apart, and put yourself back together again in a world that makes you feel like you're never enough.

So buckle up, babe. Season 3 is raw, rowdy, and ready to wreck you (in the best way).
