What Dr. Jody Carrington Inc. does

Dr. Jody Carrington Inc. is a founder-led personal-brand business operated by clinical psychologist Dr. Jody Carrington under the umbrella of her private practice, Carrington & Company. Founded in 2008 and based in Alberta, Canada with a team of approximately 7 employees, the company is structured around Dr. Carrington's 21 years of clinical expertise and positions itself as a provider of trauma-informed, reconnection-oriented content for organizations, educators, first responders, and individual consumers. The firm has no proprietary technology stack; all digital and physical distribution runs through third-party platforms including Teachable (online courses), Eventbrite (workshops), Shopify (merchandise), and four major podcast networks (Audible, iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify).

The company's product portfolio consists of four online courses spanning $99-$1,500 in price (Feeling Seen, Kids These Days, Hello Hero, and the premium T.I.E.S. professional training program for K-12 mental health practitioners), three bestselling books (Feeling Seen, Kids These Days, and Teachers These Days — collectively over 225,000 copies sold), a weekly podcast titled 'Unlonely,' monthly virtual workshops priced at $29 per 90-minute session, and a global keynote-speaking practice that has delivered 1,100+ engagements to enterprises, associations, non-profits, and educational institutions. Customer logos span RBC, The Cooperators, Shell Corp, CNOOC International, Shoppers Drug Mart, YMCA, ADP, United Way, and multiple school districts.

Revenue is generated across five streams: paid keynote speaking (professional services, custom-priced via agency and direct booking), self-paced online courses (consumer + practitioner), book sales (one-time purchase via Amazon/Indigo), virtual workshops (low-ticket live events), and a residual clinical caseload at Carrington & Company. The business is bootstrapped with no external funding, no parent company, and no disclosed equity transactions; it operates primarily through direct-to-consumer online channels plus a high-touch enterprise field-sales motion for speaking engagements, with Talent Bureau acting as a channel partner for speaker representation.
