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.
