We are all too often bombarded by disturbing and distressing media and this can be extremely overwhelming for sensitive people. We can find it extremely challenging to manage the intensity of emotions that are often felt from over-witnessing suffering and violence in our media. As a result, we can spend a great deal of energy intentionally avoiding being exposed. Some things are, however, simply can't be avoided. In this insightful interview, Dr Melanie Joy shares the psychology of why we turn away from the things we desire to change the most and shines a light on common misconceptions around what is required to instigate change. Melanie discusses how easy it is for our nervous systems to become dysregulated without adequate self-care to build resilience around challenging issues and gives practical suggestions for self-regulation strategies. Throughout the interview, the topic is discussed in general terms with particular reference to animal welfare, reflective of Melanie's expertise in this area.

 We need to talk about an issue that doesn't get as much discussion as it needs. It's a particularly important topic right now with the state of the world and the exhaustion some activists are feeling.  Today we are talking about activist burnout, what it means, how we get to this point and what both the individual activist and the justice movements as a whole can do to prevent it happening and create a supportive, understanding and sustainable structure where activists can continue to do the good work while also giving back to themselves, nurturing their relationships and ensuring they don't give away pieces of themselves.  Music by Uboa https://uboa.bandcamp.com/ https://linktr.ee/Uboatheflesh Endocrine Disruptor https://uboa.bandcamp.com/track/endocrine-disruptor Epilation Joy https://uboa.bandcamp.com/track/the-origin-of-my-depression-2 Exsanguination https://uboa.bandcamp.com/track/exsanguination Full speech by Dr Melanie Joy https://youtu.be/36XFiTY3SAo?si=m3eq3OKIzR5ln8sl  Photo by Danie Franco https://unsplash.com/photos/woman-wearing-blue-v-neck-short-sleeved-top-tnxRFtXI9dI

In this episode, we sit down with social psychologist, Dr. Melanie Joy, to explore her groundbreaking concept of “carnism” - the belief system that conditions people to see eating animals as normal, natural, and necessary.  Dr. Joy offers insights into how hidden ideologies shape behavior, and how building relational literacy can foster healthier relationships across social movements. Highlights include: How the three 'N's' - normal, natural, necessary - are used to justify systems like carnism and pronatalism, and how dismantling these myths creates space for more compassionate choices; How cognitive distortions like objectification and dichotomization impact both human and animal relationships, perpetuating cycles of violence and oppression; Why dysregulated people dysregulate people and the formula for healthy relating; How relational literacy can empower activists to communicate skillfully, avoid burnout, and avoid infighting.

Wykład Dariusza Gzyry, Kawiarnia Naukowa 1, 14 marca 2019 [1h20min] https://wszechnica.org.pl/wyklad/czy-jednostki-sa-odpowiedzialne-za-masowe-wykorzystanie-zwierzat/ Etyk, działacz społeczny i weganin przedstawia mechanizmy społeczne i psychologiczne, które stoją za przyzwoleniem na zabijanie i wykorzystanie zwierząt Wykorzystanie zwierząt przez przemysł mięsny, mleczarski czy jajcarski nieodłącznie wiąże się z ich zabijaniem i cierpieniem. Większość ludzi ten fakt jednak wypiera, albo uznaje za niepodważalną normę. Jakie mechanizmy społeczne i psychologiczne za tym stoją opowiedział w Kawiarni Naukowej 1a etyk, działacz społeczny i weganin z dwudziestoletnim stażem Dariusz Gzyra. Etyk James Serpell w książce "W towarzystwie zwierząt" opisał mechanizmy, które stoją za ludzką akceptacja dla eksploatacji i zabijania zwierząt. Zaliczył do nich odgradzanie, ukrywanie, fałszywy wizerunek i przeniesienie winy. Większość ludzi nie przebywa ze zwierzętami, które zjada (ogradzanie). Rzeźnie nie znajdują się w centrach miast, w związku z czym społeczeństwo nie styka się też z ich cierpieniem (ukrywanie). Zwierzęta dodatkowo są negatywnie nacechowane w języku (fałszywy wizerunek). Za ich uśmiercanie odpowiedzialne są delegowane do tego jednostki (przeniesienie winy). Psycholog i obrońca praw zwierząt Rychard D. Ryder ukuł pojęcie szowinizm gatunkowy, określające postawę stawiającą interesy gatunku ludzkiego nad interesami innych gatunków. Psycholożka Melanie Joy, autorka książki „Why we love dogs, eat pigs and wear cows – An introduction to carnism” (“Dlaczego kochamy psy, jemy świnie i ubieramy się w krowy – Wstęp do karnizmu”), zdefiniowała pojęcie karnizmu. Oznacza ono system przekonań, który pozwala człowiekowi na zjadanie jednych gatunków zwierząt, a innych nie. Dariusz Gzyra podczas wykładu opowiada o tych oraz innych mechanizmach, które stoją za przyzwoleniem człowieka na zabijanie i wykorzystanie zwierząt. Dariusz Gzyra – filozof, działacz społeczny, publicysta. Wykładowca kierunku antropozoologia na Uniwersytecie Warszawskim. Członek Polskiego Towarzystwa Etycznego. Redaktor działu „prawa zwierząt” czasopisma „Zoophilologica. Polish Journal of Animal Studies”. Autor książki „Dziękuję za świńskie oczy” (Wydawnictwo Krytyki Politycznej 2018). Weganin.

A health scare changed everything for our special guest Dr. Melanie Joy, leading her from a routine, omnivorous life to a transformative vegan journey. In this episode, Melanie shares her powerful story, detailing how a wake-up call for personal health evolved into a deep commitment to veganism and advocacy. We explore the intricate link between individual well-being and the planet's health, revealing how conscious dietary choices can create ripples of positive change. We shine a light on the hidden belief system known as carnism, which conditions us to view certain animals as edible while disconnecting from our natural empathy towards them. Delving into Melanie's influential book, "Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows," we unpack the psychological defense mechanisms that allow compassionate individuals to participate in harmful practices. This chapter serves as a revealing look at societal norms and the cognitive dissonance that underpins our relationships with animals. Moving beyond dietary choices, we discuss the essential role of relational literacy and effective communication in fostering social change. Melanie's academic journey into psychology highlights the importance of understanding the mind to drive lasting behavioral transformations. We also emphasize the need for self-care and community building, offering practical tools and resources to help advocates avoid burnout and maintain emotional well-being. Join us for an eye-opening conversation that blends personal narratives with deep psychological insights, aiming to inspire a more compassionate and mindful world. Dr. Melanie Joy has long been a personal inspiration in my vegan journey, chatting with her was inspirational and an honor.

Dr. Melanie Joy, PhD speaks with Paul Krauss MA LPC about her new book How to End Injustice Everywhere: Understanding the Common Denominator Driving All Injustices.  Melanie's How to End Injustice Everywhere shows the underlying denominator driving all types of injustice and provides an assessment of unjust structures and behaviors, as well as practical techniques to help increase awareness, eliminate infighting, and develop more resilient and successful justice movements. She explains that all injustices, including racism, patriarchy, animal exploitation, environmental degradation, and domestic abuse, have one common denominator: relational dysfunction, or dysfunctional ways of relating to other people, social groups, nonhuman animals, and the environment. This is an interesting discussion that discusses something so simple, yet so difficult to change: human relationships and the way that systems function relationally.  Also discussed: Relational dysfunction, forms of injustice, different mentalities, toxic communication, non-relational mentality, how are we being socialized, changing our thinking, reduce infighting, produce more equitable social justice movements, producing healthier systems, polyvagal theory, integrity, dignity, morale values, practices, compassion, caring, justice, the golden rule, humanistic perspectives, etc.  Dr. Melanie Joy is an award-winning psychologist specializing in the psychology of oppression. A longtime advocate for justice, she was a lecturer at the University of Massachusetts for 11 years, has written seven books, and is a recipient of the Ahimsa Award—previously given to the Dalai Lama and Nelson Mandela—for her work on global nonviolence. She's also the founding president of the international NGO Beyond Carnism. Melanie's work is a call for anyone working toward justice for humans, animals, or the environment to unify behind a shared “metamission” of creating a more relational world. Her book provides an empowering and unique approach to ending injustice, and it offers not only an examination of non relational systems and behaviors, but also practical tools to help raise awareness, reduce infighting, and build more resilient and impactful justice movements.

And so I wrote how to end injustice everywhere really to shed light on the common structure of all unjust systems – patriarchy, racism, you know, classism. They can be smaller systems as well, toxic workplaces, abusive or dysfunctional relationships, and also to shed light on the common mentality that drives them.” - Dr. Melanie Joy   What we discuss in this episode:  - What inspired Dr. Joy's new book? - The common denominator that all injustices share. - The importance of “relational literacy.” -The formula for healthier relationships. - Changing your intentions to transform your conversations with others. - Tips to stop causing disconnection in your relationships. - How to reduce anger quickly. - The emotion most likely to destroy a relationship.   Resources: - Dr. Joy's website: Melanie Joy - https://www.melaniejoy.org/ - Instagram: Melanie Joy (@drmelaniejoy) • Instagram photos and videos - https://www.instagram.com/drmelaniejoy/?hl=en - Facebook: Melanie Joy - https://www.facebook.com/melaniejoyphd/ - Twitter/X: Melanie Joy (@DrMelanieJoy) / X - https://twitter.com/drmelaniejoy?lang=en - Beyond Carnism: Beyond Carnism - https://carnism.org/ - Her latest book: How to End Injustice Everywhere: Understanding the Common Denominator Driving All Injustices, to Create a Better World for Humans, Animals, and the Planet - https://www.amazon.com/How-End-Injustice-Everywhere-Understanding/dp/1590566866/ - Infighting.org: End Infighting - https://infighting.org/ - BiOptimizers Magnesium Breakthrough: bioptimizers.com/switch4good - http://bioptimizers.com/switch4good   ★☆★ Click the link below to support the ADD SOY Act! ★☆★ https://switch4good.org/add-soy-act/ ★☆★ Share the website and get your resources here ★☆★ https://kidsandmilk.org/ ★☆★ Send us a voice message and ask a question.

Dr. Melanie Joy dives deep into the concept of "relational literacy," explaining it as the art and science of healthy relating. By fostering relational literacy, we not only bridge the divide between different dietary choices, but it also plays a pivotal role in personal growth, enhancing our relationships, and initiating both social and ecological transformations. Dr. Joy elucidates that the heart of relational literacy lies in practicing integrity and honoring dignity, which, in turn, leads to feelings of security and connection. By integrating core values of compassion and justice into our actions and recognizing the inherent worth in all beings, we can reshape our interactions and, ultimately, our world. #RelationalLiteracy #IntegrityAndDignity #TransformativeRelationships

Dr. Melanie Joy dives into the complex dynamics between vegans and non-vegans, highlighting the challenges in communication and understanding caused by the deep-rooted ideology of carnism. She introduces the concept of 'reactive vegan psychology' as a response to living in a predominantly carnistic culture. Emphasizing the need for awareness and empathy, Dr. Joy suggests forming alliances against carnism to foster harmonious relationships and bridge the divide between differing lifestyles. The invisible influence of carnism doesn't just impact dietary choices, but deeply affects interpersonal relationships. By recognizing these influences, there is potential for more cohesive and understanding interactions. #Carnism #VeganRelationships #EffectiveCommunication

In the second hour of "Connections with Evan Dawson" on Wednesday, December 6, 2023, guest host Jasmin Singer talks with psychologist Melanie Joy, author of "How to End Injustice Everywhere."

Dr. Melanie Joy delves into the deep-seated psychology behind the consumption of meat and our societal disconnect with the animals we consume. Raised with a deep affection for pets but simultaneously consuming animal products, she had an epiphany after a health scare. This led her to study the psychology of violence, non-violence, and particularly the ideology she coined as 'carnism' - the system that conditions us to eat certain animals. Through her research, Joy addresses the biases, justifications, and defense mechanisms that enable such behaviors, all while highlighting the importance of understanding and challenging these ingrained beliefs for a more compassionate future. #Carnism #AnimalRights #MindfulEating

In our discussion, she lays out a roadmap for effective relational communication, emphasizing the advantages of self-awareness, mindfulness, and allyship over adversarial attitudes. By improving our relational skills, we can contribute to ending injustice and move beyond oppression in all forms.Dr. Melanie Joy's latest book, How to End Injustice Everywhere: Understanding the Common Denominator Driving all Injustices, to Create a Better World for Humans, Animals, and the Planet, is an inspiring read that captures the wisdom she acquired from her travels to 35+ countries and the practical ways we can improve interpersonal, intrapersonal, and societal relationships. If you're committed to ending injustice, her book and this podcast conversation are a must-have for your reading and listening library.Melanie says we communicate “because we want to share our thoughts and feelings. Our inner selves.” Melanie also says, “The more we can communicate with people in a way that they feel safe with us, the more likely we are to set an atmosphere for our message to be heard as it was intended to be heard. The more we help other people feel safe with us and recognize that we are safe people to be in relationship with, the more likely we are to create more safety and connection in those interactions.”During our conversation, Melanie shared one of many vital insights – achieving mutual understanding is the ultimate goal of any healthy relationship. Our discussion was enlightening and affirming, and I appreciated Melanie's surprising gesture of gratitude toward the end.Last week, Melanie mentioned that shame and contempt can harm relationships. The antidote for both emotions is self-empathy and compassion towards others, which can help us share experiences and learn from one another.We often only express a part of our true feelings and desires. This leaves us with unaddressed needs and unfulfilled interactions. Suppose we view our relationships and ourselves as a continuous work in progress. In that case, we can have more enjoyable interactions and be open to giving and accepting second chances until we reach a mutual understanding. This allows both parties to get clear on what they want and view the relationship as one in progress (openness) and not necessarily an end result of perfection (closed-mindedness). We make mistakes all the time when we are learning new things. Why not give each other space to evolve and change?I learned a helpful communication technique called 'whole messages' from Melanie. It involves breaking down what we want to say into four parts: observations,

I worked with more clients, wrote, and integrated some significant life events during this time. The break was well worth it, and I'm eager to bring more meaningful conversations and ideas to support the evolution of leadership that aims to improve our world.How to End Injustice Everywhere: Understanding the Common Denominator Driving all Injustices, to Create a Better World for Humans, Animals, and the Planet is now my go-to reference as we strive to end injustice. Dr. Melanie Joy has a unique ability to break down complex concepts into practical and easy-to-understand nuggets, helping us gain a deeper understanding of the systems we participate in on a daily basis. This knowledge can help us positively create a better world for all - humans, animals, and the planet. She is today's guest mentor. “We don't help people see different things. We help them see the same things, differently.” –Melanie Joy, Ph.D., and Other Pioneers Before Her The work of Dr. Melanie Joy has had a significant impact on me, as indicated by the quote above. When we see the same things differently, we change our lives and how we lead.Since learning from her teachings, I have gained a new perspective on my dietary habits and transitioned to a plant-based diet, eliminating all meat, dairy, and egg products a few months before our first podcast conversation on June 7, 2021. Melanie has helped me comprehend the psychology and invisible systems that condition us to consume certain animals.I feel physically healthier and more in sync with my ethical values. It no longer makes sense to me to harm animals when I have committed to not hurting myself or others. Why should I consume something with eyes if I am devoted to treating all beings with kindness and respect? This is my viewpoint; it doesn't have to be yours.My perspective has become clearer and more relational after reading Melanie's research, attending her webinars, and listening to our podcast conversations. Melanie is an exceptional teacher, mentor, entrepreneurial leader, and advocate. Her distinctive understanding of oppression and social transformation in relationships offers an explanation for the dysfunction in our world and provides actionable steps to address it.I greatly admire Dr. Melanie Joy and her brave efforts in leading a worldwide movement to awaken us from our oppressive state and guide us toward a more enlightened way of relating to ourselves, other humans, animals, and the planet. She embodies integrity and demonstrates respect for the dignity of every individual, and I encourage everyone to follow her example of practicing relational literacy.When I was introduced to Dr. Melanie Joy.My daughter Olivia heard Melanie on Simon Hill's Plant Proof podcast a few years ago. After purchasing a few of Melanie's books, like Getting Relationships Right, Beyond Beliefs, Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows,

We interview violinist, composer, arranger, and teacher, Melanie Joy Alvey, as we continue to feature the artists performing for the St. Philip Concert in the Courtyard series.  Melanie expands her classical training into various American styles.

Our anger is a sign that our moral compass is working. And anger can be a very social, proactive emotion. It gives us the energy and motivation to take positive action on our own and others' behalf.  -Dr. Melanie Joy Today's guest, Dr. Melanie Joy, is a human being that sparks so many emotions within me, because of how profoundly personal her work feels. Her research, writing, and speaking gives validity to what I've intuitively experienced, starting at the age of seven when I connected the meat on my plate with the living being it once was. And I want to make sure you know this episode is for you, whether you're vegan or not, if you're open to understanding the psychology around our food choices, or if you're curious about how to improve your relational literacy as she calls it… in other words, strengthening your ability to communicate effectively, even around tough topics. And you know, this is a podcast that leads with the topic of holistic wellness… which, at least in my definition, includes healthy relationships and meaningful connections, which are not possible without the ability to effectively communicate.I'm excited for you to learn about what may be a brand new term for you, Carnism, coined by Melanie herself in this episode, and for you to be a part of what turned out to be an incredibly fascinating and intimate conversation.VIEW THE FULL SHOW NOTES AND GUEST BIO & LINKS HERE Podcast Page---------------------------------------Check out our sister show, The Vegan Life Coach Podcast, HERE!LET'S CONNECT!

A Message From Rowdy Girl Sanctuary's Founder It all started with Rowdy Girl, a little 2 month old baby calf that my husband wanted me to care for, hoping I would start wanting to be a “good” ranchers wife. I bought her for $300 having no idea that she would take me down the rabbit hole where I would come out on the other side of compassion for all sentient beings – even the ones that used to end up on my plate. The rest they say is her-story. Becoming vegan for me has been a result of living on the Sonnen Ranch, now Rowdy Girl Sanctuary with my multi-generational cattle rancher husband – I couldn't take the red trailer leaving with the babies anymore – As a result I started watching documentaries and slaughterhouse videos and when I made the corner, I've never looked back. Forever Vegan! I live on a 96 acre ranch with him. I was transplanted from suburbia to the ranch in 2009 – I fell in love with all the critters….kinda like Elly Mae Clampett – I named them all and loved them everyone – I'd go out and spend time with them, dance around them – sing to them and talk to them. Then they started being trailered up to go to the sale barn, and the experience of watching them leave, the mamas wailing for a week and the absence of their souls in the pasture haunted me. As a result of watching a Melanie Joy documentary on Carnism, I was set up on Halloween 2014, while at my mother in laws. She was serving Beef Stew and instead of seeing meat, I saw floating dead animal parts. I'd been vegetarian in the past and even tried a raw diet for several months, but never had the compassion connection until I LIVED IT! I love these animals – I see their souls, and they see mine – I can tell they are looking at me out of the corner of their eye. They can feel our motives. I soon realized I could not stand to watch the babies leave their mamas even one more time to go to the sale barn FOR SLAUGHTER…and that I had to do something to prevent that from ever happening again. My husband had come to the end of his rope. He was ready to sell the entire herd and get out of the business altogether because of my revulsion to the ordeal. The idea to create my own Sanctuary to rescue all of the cows was born from this realization and I convinced my Rancher husband to work with me to make this dream a reality. Since he was at the jumping off place and was going to sell them all anyway, I asked him if I could buy them and if he'd give me a discount. He thought I had lost my mind, and frankly I had, but it was my only hope and because of compassionate vegans across the world, my project on indiegogo was funded early May 2015.

Episode 353: A Hilarious Conversation with My Youngest Sister Monica Episode Notes Do you need a little mid-winter pick-me-up? A little humor to brighten your day? When I was young, we six siblings would debate about who was the funniest in the family. My youngest sister Monica Olson emerged as the winner. I encouraged her to do stand-up, but she would instead share her humor with family and friends. And now, you can hear her for the first time. Before the holidays, Monica offered to let me tape our conversation. She wanted a relaxed conversation, and I needed a guinea pig, so we discussed my new role as podcast editor instead of having an in-depth conversation about her life as a multi-venture entrepreneur, raising four children, divorce, and remarriage. You wouldn't think that taking on the editor role of a podcast would be funny, but as it turns out, we found it hysterical. I hope you can laugh with us and alleviate the pressure and stress in your day. My reason for airing this conversation is to emphasize that we need to bend someone's ear when facing difficulties. I was fortunate to have my husband, Matthew, and my youngest sister, Monica to keep things in perspective with acquiring a new skillset under pressure and deadlines. The good news is that we don't need hundreds of people. We need one or two encouraging people. Our conversation is like many with her. A breath of fresh air and hilarious. I want to do more podcast conversations with Monica. Could you give me your feedback?  What do you think? Would you like to hear more from Monica?

A short guidebook to understanding and discussing privilege among vegans and vegan organizations in the wake of #metoo, including how to establish accountability while honoring dignity and ways to communicate effectively. In The Vegan Matrix: Understanding and Discussing Privilege Among Vegans to Build a More Inclusive and Empowered Movement (Lantern Publishing & Media, 2020), psychologist, longtime vegan advocate, and organizational head Dr. Melanie Joy explores a serious problem in the vegan movement—unexamined privilege—and looks at the struggle to communicate effectively about this problem in a way that helps offset it. Using simple, straightforward language and a compassionate tone, Joy explains what privilege is, why it's so important for vegans to become aware of it, and how to talk about it in a way that deepens understanding and helps transform it. In so doing, Joy unpacks some of the many privileges that must be acknowledged and addressed, and shows how more inclusivity and diversity within vegan organizations will benefit the movement as a whole. The Vegan Matrix is a call to awareness and action, empowering vegans to reach a broader audience and to help create a more compassionate and just world. Dr. Melanie Joy is a Harvard-educated psychologist, celebrated speaker, and the author of seven books, including the bestselling Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows; Beyond Beliefs: A Guide to Improving Relationships and Communication Among Vegans, Vegetarians, and Meat Eaters; and the forthcoming How to End Injustice Everywhere. Melanie's work has been featured in major media outlets around the world, and she has received a number of awards, including the Ahimsa Award – previously given to the Dalai Lama and Nelson Mandela – for her work on global nonviolence. Melanie has given talks and trainings in over 50 countries, and she is also the founding president of the international NGO Beyond Carnism. You can learn more about her work at carnism.org.

We're going to introduce you to a word today that may be new but is something many of us unknowingly participate in on a daily basis. That word is “carnism.” Melanie Joy coined the word in her work as a Harvard-educated psychologist and author specializing in the psychology of eating animals, social transformation, and relationships. What exactly is carnism? It's the Invisible belief system in our culture that conditions us to eat certain animals and not others. Her book title actually sums it up perfectly, Why we Love Dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows. From birth, we're conditioned to believe that cows, chickens, pigs, and fish are food…and, here in America, dogs and cats are pets. We don't even question it. The fact that this belief system is so ingrained in our culture is, in fact, carnism.  But, my friends, the tide is turning as people are waking up and becoming more aware that,  We don't have to consume animals to survive and thrive There are better and more humane ways to treat animals – ALL of which deserve respect and dignity And, we simply don't have to act against our core values as empathetic human beings Awareness is the first step and with awareness, we are better able to think freely and act compassionately, to create healthier and more fulfilling relationships and a more equitable and sustainable world.
