    This was an amazing conversation to have about mental health but is was so much more as well.

  • When They Need Big People with Dr. Jody Carrington
    Over the past 15 years, Dr. Jody Carrington has assessed, treated, educated, and empowered some of our most vulnerable and precious souls on the planet.
    She is a child psychologist by trade, but Jody rarely treats kids. The answer lies, she believes, in the people who hold them.
    Especially when kids have experienced trauma, that’s when they need big people the most. Some of her favorites include educators, parents, first responders, and foster parents.
    Jody has shifted the way they think and feel about the holy work that they do.
    Before Jody started her own practice and speaking across the country, she worked at the Alberta Children’s Hospital on the inpatient and day treatment units where she held families with some of the difficult stories.
    They taught her the most important lesson: we are wired to do hard things. We can handle those hard things so much easier when we remember this: we are wired for connection.
    This all started when Jody received her Bachelor of Arts with Distinction from the University of Alberta. She completed a year-long internship with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police during that time and worked alongside families struggling with chronic illness at the Ronald McDonald House. She received her Master’s degree in Psychology at the University of Regina and completed her Ph.D. there as well, before completing her residency in Nova Scotia.

  • TIP - 54 - What is Functional Wellness with Heather Gray
    Heather and I had a great open and honest conversation. I learned a lot about Functional Health and how so many things affect us.
    After over 20 some years of undiagnosed Celiac Disease and Lyme disease she was not functioning. She was depressed, anxious, in chronic widespread pain, bad skin, bloated, constipated, exhausted, weight gain, and had horrible periods to name a few things.
    She set out on a path to healing myself. Now she has lost 40lbs, no more pain, no more suicidal thoughts, and has energy all day.
    Now she has a practice where she teaches others how to take care of themselves and get the inflammation of their body and brain. So they have control over their health journey. She is a destroyer of brain fog, moodiness, chronic inflammation, and pain.
    If you would like to find out more you can find Heather here:
