Feeling Seen with Dr. Jody Carrington
Manage episode 358857162 series 3331251
In this epic conversation with Dr. Jody Carrington, we discuss her latest book Feeling Seen, and the tour she is in the midst of while living out her mission for people to find reconnection in a hurting world. Dr. Jody spreads a message of hope and the importance of feeling seen, reminding us that so much of what we need is already done.
We discuss how to get back to connection through reconnection with self – using our intuition, and intention as a conduit to reconnecting within community, with our partners and families, and even total strangers. Remembering the impact that a small kindness can have may never been known for how far reaching it’s effect may be.
In a world that is tied to the belief we need to do more, where we are inundated with social media and the news, it can feel demoralizing, demotivating, and a sense of futility can set in. Our conversation inspires you to connect with yourself and then get out there and reconnect with others! Dr. Carrington reinforces that we have the great ability to leave an amazing legacy, but “you can’t tell people how to be great, you have to get out there and show them.” This is the power of doing a little thing each day, as James Clear identifies in Atomic Habits. We call them 1% changes, and talk about the danger of doing nothing.
We also talk about:
- We are one generation into being distruptors to traditional roles because it cannot be balanced as we re-write the rules for women in this generation and the generations in the future.
- Achieving balance is bullshit.
- The place of privilege that so many women come from, and the ability to build legacy moving forward.
- Overcoming incredible obstacles in life and the simplicity of acknowledgement as human beings
- The power of looking at one another for even 4 minutes – holding space, vulnerability and the dance of big emotions – the dance of anger, the dance of intimacy (Harriet G. Lerner, Ph.D)
- The impact of trauma history, and beliefs that the world isn’t a safe place
- Emotional regulation being connecting to self, the seed of self and the soul.
- Getting through the armour in human relationships
- Context is a prerequisite for empathy, leading with kindness and holding space when were are being pushed away
- Identifying privilege as a conscious effort given the history of your community or country, and the importance of seeing those that may feel “less seen” – and the process of unlearning and seeking those that those that can teach us more.
- The impact of the conversations we can have with our children, and every conversation counts – the generations forward having more openness and opportunity to be more authentically themselves.
Dr. Jody Carrington’s message is clear: Our job is simply to walk one another home. Somedays we are the walkers, some day we are the walkees, sometimes we’re both.
