A Guide to Coping with Big Change

Podcast: Unlonely
A weekly podcast that celebrates human connection and the amazing stories that emerge from different walks of life.
With all the noise and overwhelm these days, it's become increasingly difficult to access that good. As we continue to live beyond human scale, we need a new way to get back to each other and ourselves.
You can't address that which you don't acknowledge. The question should not be "what's wrong here?" but instead, "what's happened here?". This small shift in context will change the way you make sense of the world and the people in it.
When you are acknowledged, you rise. The simple complexity of it all is that every single one of us needs to feel seen and we are all born with the capacity to do that for each other.
We were never meant to do any of this alone. The hard work of repair and reconnection is the most important investments we will ever make. Human relationships are the one thing we will never automate.
The new rule for today's world:
Be kind, and don't tolerate bullsh*t, in that order.

Dr. Jody shares her expertise, stories and strategies across three must-have books. Each of her books provide fresh perspectives and insights on the topics of human connection, reconnection and repair.
Feeling Seen examines how and why humans are so disconnected right now, worse than we have been in the history of the free world. Dr. Jody looks at how we got so lost, and all the soul-ripping contributions to a disconnected world. Then, Jody deciphers with the reader a road map back home, back to each other, to discover how the simple act of acknowledgment can change the world. And then she unpacks the hardest part: when we (inevitably) lose our way again.
During the developmental years, schools and educators are the most significant connection point to almost every child on this continent. But are the educators okay? I believe that most of the great educators want to make a difference. Many tell me, however, that they are finding it more and more difficult these days to love what they do. I think it's time we did a better job of looking after them first. Plain and simple, this book is for the educators: our teachers, bus drivers, administrators, educational assistants, librarians, administrative assistants, and custodians. And anyone who leads, loves, and supports them.
Inside Teachers These Days you will find 10 mighty chapters with 26 stories and 91 strategies that, together, are your place to land when you need to be reminded of your worth, your importance, and the impact you make on shaping our world.
This book is for those who need a place to land when they want to be reminded that, simply by the choice of their profession, they are a powerful force in shaping our world.
There's a chill in the lonely air that surrounds many of us these days. In this lonliness epidemic we find ourselves in, we often have a breadth of relationships available at a click - but the depth of relationships - the ones where people just drop by, or are there to call on when we need help with our kids, our pets, or our deepest worries, seem harder and harder to come by. Mangaing relationships and friendships seems to have no script, especially when we grow, and they don't.
Talking trauma is critical these days - especially when there's divisiveness in the air. If you work in a place where terror happens in every shift or if you love someone who spends their days walking other people through their trauma, this one's for you. We'll unpack all the latest research and how it affects us and the people we love. Most importantly, just what we can do about it when trauma comes to town.
