This is a long post but a lot of people have been wondering just who is Dr. Jody. So Ruby M asked Krista B to come up with an introduction and she has done a great job of encompassing all that Dr. Jody is!!!!
PLEASE take the time to read and SHARE, SHARE, SHARE!!!
Who is Dr. Jody Carrington?
Those who know, know.
For those of you who have not yet
experienced Dr. Jody and wonder why it matters that sheâs coming to our small townâthis is for you.
A quick Google search will give you the basics: Dr. Jody is a psychiatrist, best-selling author, and public speaker. While this is an accurate description, Dr. Jody is so much more.
One could also Google the ingredients to cakeâflour, eggs, butter, sugar, milk. This, too, is an accurate description, but you need to experience them to truly understand what the hype is all about. This is exactly what we hope youâll be able to do: experience Dr. Jody and maybe eat your cake too!
Dr. Jody Carrington has an energy and a way with words, using humour and the odd F-bomb to create an instant connection with her audience.
Expect there to be a few life-changing moments along the way. Her message is simple: âWe are wired to do the hard things, but we are so much braver together.ââDr.Jody Carrington.
Jody speaks passionately about resilience, burnout, mental health, leadership, grief, and traumaâ and how reconnection is the answer to so many of the problems that we face.
Everyone has their own story, their own challenges, so each person listening and connecting to Jodyâs words will hear and take away what they need in that moment.
Jodyâs two-day tour in Hudson Bay is jam-packed; we are making the most of this wonderful opportunity! On September 22nd, Dr. Jody will start by meeting with our grade 11 and 12 students. This will allow the voice and leadership of our future to reconnect and make positive changes moving forward (both for themselves and others).
That evening, Jody will speak to the general public at our main event in the Brooks Hall.
Dr. Jody will touch on many topics, feeling seen being the most prominent.
This is when the laughter, the reconnection, and most likely a few damp eyes will appear. It will feel like a lot, but youâll take away what you needed to hear the most.
September 23rd is for anyone who knows a kid and loves a kidâparents, grandparents, teachers, coaches, educational assistants, bus drivers, etc.
The morning starts off with our
educatorsâteachers, EAs, coaches, bus drivers.
This is an opportunity to reconnect and become relit for the new year. The smallest change can often make the biggest impact. Parents and caregivers are the fifth and final group Dr. Jody is presenting to that afternoon.
Why is this the last session? Well, hereâs the thing: our teenagers are busy making connections, our
community members are now thinking about the messages they heard the night before, our
educators are relit and ready to reconnect, and now itâs time to dig deeper as parents and caregivers.
This session will provide opportunities to ask the hard questions, seek connections, and make changes where needed.
We come together quickly as a community, family, and friends when a major crisis arises. We donate, we give our time, we share food, we cheer each other on, we laugh together,
and we cry together. However, these connections need to be more than crisis driven; we need to connect for the little everyday moments too, good or bad.
Our goal is to not end the conversation once the sessions are over. We hope to continue on with a quarterly refresh throughout the 2023/2024 school year.
Just like the saying âIt takes a villageâ, bringing this event to fruition could not happen alone. Our community never ceases to amaze me with their generosity. Local businesses, individuals, the town, and the RM have donated funds and prizes to help offset the overall cost.
Volunteers who are passionate about Dr. Jodyâs message have stepped up to plan, organize, and bring this event to life. Our community school is providing a venue and an audience.
Last, but not least, the people in our community and surrounding communities are purchasing event
tickets, 50/50 tickets, and making silent auction bids. Thank you to everyone involved!
I am beyond excited and grateful to be part of this process! I hope this leaves you wanting to learn more and join us for each session you are able.
Donât let the conversation stop here! Talk about these events, purchase a ticket, invite family and friends to attend with you, check out Dr. Jody on Facebook and Instagram, and consider reading one of Dr. Jodyâs
booksâI highly recommend Kids These Days.
Iâll leave you with a quote that sums this up the best for me:
âWeâre all just walking each other home.â-Ram Dass
