What if the key to deeper relationships begins with your relationship to yourself? In this transformative conversation with heart-led mentor Melissa Thompson, we explore how intentionality and self-alignment form the foundation for authentic connection with others.Drawing from over two decades in the wellbeing and transformation space, including founding and leading a Steiner School for ten years, Melissa shares practical wisdom about developing self-leadership in our rapidly changing world. Rather than offering abstract philosophies, she provides real-world experiences of how connecting to our authentic selves creates ripple effects in our partnerships, families, and communities.For those feeling overwhelmed by busy schedules and endless responsibilities, Melissa offers surprisingly simple practices that take as little as sixty seconds. These micro-moments of self-connection aren't selfish indulgences—they're essential practices that enable us to show up fully in our relationships. As Melissa beautifully articulates, "When you truly are connected with yourself and in alignment, you are feeding everybody else."One of the most powerful insights from our conversation challenges the myth that joy and suffering are mutually exclusive. We explore how multiple emotions can coexist within us simultaneously, and how acknowledging our full emotional landscape creates space for authentic connection. The frequency of joy brings lightness and spaciousness, even amid challenging circumstances—sometimes one partner's joy can be exactly what's needed when the other is experiencing sadness or grief.Ready to transform your relationship from surviving to thriving? Listen now to discover practical ways to cultivate intentionality, alignment, and joy.

Today we bring you something slightly different, as when I was uploading our interview with Melissa at the end of last week, we suddenly received a message from Pete Hewitt (Owner 'Everday People' Michelin Bib Gourmand/ Jay Rayners favourite Ramen shop) saying that we need to discuss the real issue that's killing our industry and forcing so many great restaurant's to close and that's the fact we've got the highest VAT in Europe. So I said, can you jump on call and rant at us for 5 minutes about how destructive it actually is and what you want to see changed, he luckily obliged and so that's the starting point of todays episode. We then move into our normal format where we're joined by the award winning writer and chef Melissa Thompson to discuss everything from; dehydrating kimchi to phallus shaped cappuccino's to the racism surrounding fried chicken and the fascinating stories behind some of Jamaica's most famous dishes..plus lots more...... ----------- DELLI is a food platform, from the team behind Depop, that sells the best independent food and drink products that other shops don't really know about.

This discussion is a dip back into the extensive Intelligence Squared archive, first aired in late 2022. Jerk chicken, curried goat, ackee and saltfish - these are just some of the famous dishes which make up the varied patchwork of Jamaican cuisine. With influences from West Africa, Spain, China and the East India region, each dish can tell a different story ranging from the influence of indigenous groups to the arrival of settlers, colonialists, and enslaved people who have lived on the Caribbean island throughout history. In this episode of the podcast we're joined by cooks and food writers Melissa Thompson, author of Motherland: A Jamaican Cookbook, and Riaz Phillips, author of West Winds: Recipes, History and Tales from Jamaica, to explore how Jamaican food has evolved and travelled throughout the world.

The practice of smoking is one of the world's oldest food preservation methods, but which techniques are catching fire today, while other processes risk being extinguished? We hear from producers bringing diverse barbecue and smoking techniques to new audiences, as well as those keeping traditional processes alive. Leyla Kazim visits Cue Point to hear from Mursal Saiq and Joshua Moroney about their unique ‘British Afghan Fusion BBQ' that brings an inclusive style of smoking to a wider audience while drawing on diverse culinary heritages. Melissa Thompson, writer, cook and author of Motherland, discusses the central role smoke plays in Jamaican cuisine, and why food and history in the Caribbean are so intertwined. Author of the Barbecue Bible and Project Smoke, Steven Raichlen, traces the history of smoking from its Palaeolithic origins to present day, and argues that cooking with fire was one of the greatest technological advances in the history of humankind. Helen Graves, editor of Pit Magazine and author of Live Fire, explains why she has made it her mission to champion the broad range of diversity in open fire cooking, and the reasons she tends not to follow the trend of US-style barbecue. Producer Robbie Armstrong heads to Fèis Ìle, Islay's annual whisky and music festival, to hear about the renaissance of peated whiskies with Ardbeg's visitor centre manager Jackie Thompson. He speaks to Arbroath smokie producer Iain R. Spink about reviving ancient methods on the verge of being snuffed out. Christian Stevenson, better known as DJ BBQ, tracks the popularity of US grilling and smoking in the UK. Leyla and Robbie sit down to taste some smoky drinks, while pondering the future of traditional methods, and how to balance the world's love for peated whiskies with peatland restoration. Leyla discovers that while some processes born out of necessity may be less popular today, it's clear the practice of smoking is showing no signs of dissipating. Presented by Leyla Kazim. Produced by Robbie Armstrong.

Are we still a nation of pudding lovers and does pudding still matter? Join Sheila Dillon in her kitchen where she's joined by some of the UK's best pudding makers to share some of the secrets of great pudding, and why they matter to them. Olia Hercules makes a pudding from her childhood in Ukraine, a cheesecake made from the "cheese of all cheeses"; Regula Ysewijn bakes an early version of a Bakewell Pudding using apricot kernels and sweetmeats; Melissa Thompson brings Jamaican nostalgia into her own pudding invention, Guinness Punch Pie; Jeremy Lee cooks his Granny's Steamed Treacle Dumpling and chef Anna Higham who's book "The Last Bite" is a celebration of seasonal fruit puddings, makes a rice pudding with a rhubarb compote. So what it is about pudding that delights people so much? And why don't we eat them as much as we once did? Sheila speaks to food historian, Ivan Day, who has spent a lifetime researching and recreating puddings from the past, to see what he makes of our relationship with them now.

Inspired by Grimsby's traditional smoked fish practices and historic ice factories, the panel discuss everything from frozen foods to life hacks for leftovers, and the all important question - do peas belong in fish pie? They reminisce over their best and worst culinary moments, from their food-based milestones to meltdown-worthy meals they've cheffed up for themselves. Alongside the audience's questions, guests from Alfred Enderby's Fish Smokers and Grimsby Ice Factory offer an insightful look into Grimsby's traditional food production methods.

Dr. Melissa helps women connect their menstrual cycle health to their pelvic health so they can heal pelvic pain, relieve bladder issues, and take charge of their fertility.  Through her own struggles with pelvic pain & infertility, she has seen the gap in care for women's health. She could not find a practitioner to find the root cause of her pain until she began seeing specialized pelvic PT's who believe in finding the root cause. She also had difficulty finding any doctor who would listen to her fertility concerns. This is why she has done so much specialist training and designed a practice to incorporate both pelvic floor treatments & fertility education so she can help women get the answers that took her years to find for herself.

In today's episode Melissa shares her experience in the FAMM program, and how it has impacted her physical therapy practice. Dr. Melissa Thompson is a board-certified Doctor of Physical Therapy with a specialty certification in Manual Therapy, which is a tool for hands on treatment. She is also a pelvic health specialist with an advanced certification in Fertility Awareness (as a certified FAMM practitioner). She helps women connect their menstrual cycle health to their pelvic health so they can heal pelvic pain, relieve bladder issues, and take charge of their fertility. She has established a holistic "birth center" style clinic from fertility all the way to postpartum. She starts with you as you are planning your family, and you become part of their family as you stay with the clinic through your whole journey into postpartum. Melissa believes every person deserves a head-to-toe assessment for your pelvic and fertility concerns. Holistic health means that instead of looking at one body part, we look at the whole body to find all of the contributing factors to your problems. This creates lasting healing.

Since the American Civil War to the present day, fried chicken has been used to create negative stereotypes of black people. These stereotypes and this history has seeped into today's consciousness which has established a complicated relationship between chef and author Melissa Thompson and the food item. It's a relationship which she wrote about and she joins Jaega Wise to explore her feelings and attitudes towards this fried dish. Food historian Adrian Miller looks at the presence of fried chicken on the plantation fields in the Deep South and explains how the racial connotations of fried chicken and black people materialised in America. We hear from Dr Kehinde Andrews who details the importance of having shared collective experiences of food and culture within communities. Dr Andrews explains how this experience strengthens the connection amongst people when faced in situations of being ‘othered'. Melissa pairs up Maureen Tyne at her Caribbean food establishment in Brixton, South London. Maureen shows Melissa how she makes her special recipe for fried chicken and shares her love for the meal. Presenters: Jaega Wise and Melissa Thompson Produced by Candace Wilson
