Look Up: Reclaiming Human Connection in a Distracted World with Dr. Jody Carrington

Look Up!

We live in a world that constantly asks us to look down—at screens, notifications, and to-do lists. And yet, despite being more “connected” than ever, many of us feel profoundly alone.

In this episode, Karey Harris sits down with psychologist and author Dr. Jody Carrington to explore how we can reclaim genuine human connection. They discuss the loneliness epidemic, the decline of eye contact, and why self-care is essential—not selfish—for serving others.

Dr. Carrington shares practical strategies to regulate your nervous system, stay present, and practice kindness in daily life. From small acts of connection to her “Go In / Go Out” framework, this conversation is a roadmap for reconnecting with yourself and those around you.

If you’re a leader, parent, educator, or human feeling stretched thin, this episode invites you to look up, slow down, and return to what truly matters.
