Dr. Melanie Joy on Compassionate Communication and Building Better Relationships

In this week’s special episode, we sit down for an in-person conversation with Dr. Melanie Joy, marking our third time hosting this extraordinary guest. Dr. Joy is a celebrated psychologist, author, and speaker, widely recognised for her pioneering work on the psychology of eating habits, relationships, and social justice. She’s best known for coining the term "carnism"—the invisible belief system that conditions people to eat certain animals—and her bestselling books, including Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows. Dr. Joy's work explores how our beliefs shape our choices, and how we can cultivate healthier relationships with ourselves, each other, and the world around us. 

In this powerful episode, we dive deep into fresh topics on emotional resilience, effective communication, and the mindset shifts needed for personal and social change. Including exploring her latest book; How To End Injustice Everywhere. Melanie’s insights are incredibly relevant for anyone interested in strengthening their relationships, building more empathy, and fostering a healthier relationship with food.

Join us as we explore Dr. Joy’s unique perspectives on these crucial topics, and find out how you can apply her guidance to create more fulfilling and connected lives. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to deepen their understanding of themselves and create positive change in the world around them.

Lots of love,

Dave & Steve
