Language warning in episode
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 helped 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 PhD there as well before completing her residency in Nova Scotia.
Her first book, Kids These Days: A Game Plan for (Re)Connecting with those we Teach, Lead & Love, came out in 2019 and sold 20,000 copies in just three months. It is now on Amazon’s Best Sellers List.

Founder of Tanya K Leadership Consulting
Tanya is an authentic and collaborative leader who has built her life's work around her education, experience, purpose, and passion for empowering people, organizations, and communities to be the best they can be so they can create good in the world!
In her capacity as Executive Director of Brown Bagging for Calgary’s Kids (BB4CK), Tanya feels privileged to be part of a team that is inspiring a city of people to take meaningful action, by feeding and caring for kids who would otherwise go hungry.
She has proudly led this successful and impactful organization through many opportunities, struggles, and organizational pivots for the past ten years with a vision that communities ensure no kids go hungry. As an influential community leader, across Alberta and Canada, she knows what it takes to practice the tactical and the caring side of leadership.
When she's not focusing on BB4CK, Tanya has a passion to help leaders have the courage to be more authentic and human-centered in their practice of leadership. The leadership paradigm is shifting to this way of leading. She guides leaders to learn more about how to listen to themselves, to know their purpose, and how to care for others so that they can be impactful in life and leadership. She refers to this as a “people-centered leadership” practice. This practice allows people to lead with authentic confidence to be their best selves in the effect they want to have and creates an opportunity to be better together!
Tanya is also a mom of 4 young adults and a spouse to a retired Tactical Police Officer. She can often be found at the little bunkie cabin they built, active in the outdoors, giving back to the people and things that mean the most, and trying to live life to the fullest!

***When speaking of Pamela Morgan, the only word that comes to mind is change. Change is defined as "the act or instance of making or becoming different."
When exploring the idea of making something different, it implies something is wrong or that is needs to be fixed.
Homelessness needs to be fixed and we need to change how we perceive Mental Health.
After watching a family member go through homelessness through most of their adult life - Pamela saw an opportunity to provide help to those who needed it. As such, Baby It's Cold Outside was born.
As Founder & CEO of Human Resources Agency, Key Instincts & Homelessness Prevention Charity Baby, It's Cold Outside, Pamela Morgan believes in two things, people & passion.***
***Pamela understands and embraces the definition of collaboration. Whether serving in her local community as the president of the Okotoks Business Association, sitting on the board of Chambers or putting strategic plans into place as a stakeholder with the ecosystem, she incorporates collaboration and inclusion in all her efforts, this practice is woven in all accepts of her professional and personal life.
People are her passion, when they do not have the basics, it's hard for them to move forward. BCO’s current initiative is focusing on transitional housing within the foothills area within the next 10 years.
With an entrepreneurial spirit and an everlasting passion for human resources, it was an obvious fit to provide human resources and cultural development as a consultant to business owners, whether not at the scale to bring in their team or to complement and provide additional support to the team on site. With a wholistic approach in business, Pamela supports businesses through strategic practices, that takes the health of the entire company into consideration.***
***Every single day, Pamela trail-blazes new ways to move forward with the intention of making every life better. In doing so, she believes in one simple mission statement:
How we give back to our community reflects where passion lies.***
