How to Communicate Effectively and Improve your Relationships with Dr Melanie Joy
The Happy Pear Podcast
11/08/23 • 89 min
We are thrilled to welcome back one of our favorite guests, Dr. Melanie Joy. Dr. Melanie Joy is a renowned psychologist and author, known for her groundbreaking work in the fields of relational literacy and the study of carnism.
Dr. Melanie Joy is a distinguished psychologist with a wealth of expertise in the domains of communication, relationships, and activism. Her insights have been transformative and enlightening, making her a sought-after authority on these subjects.
We had the privilege of recording in person with Dr. Melanie Joy. Together, we delved into the concept of relational literacy and how it plays a pivotal role in effective communication, not only on a personal level within your own relationships but also on a global scale within the realms of politics and activism. Dr. Mel has formulated a groundbreaking approach that dissects the components of relational literacy, offering you the keys to improved interpersonal connections and societal change.
We also explore the intriguing topic of carnism—what it is and how Dr. Melanie Joy first encountered it in her work. This discussion sheds light on the hidden mechanisms that underlie our attitudes toward eating animals and the food industry.
This episode is a treasure trove of invaluable takeaways that are universally applicable. Whether you're seeking to enhance your work relationships, navigate your personal connections more effectively, or deepen your understanding of global issues, Dr. Melanie Joy's insights offer a profound and practical guide.
Finally, don't miss our discussion on Dr. Mel's latest book, "How to End Injustice," which we wholeheartedly recommend. Join us on this enlightening journey to unlock the power of relational literacy and gain a deeper understanding of the world we live in.
Enjoy!
Lots of love,

Psychological Safety and it effects your personal and professional life with Justin Caffrey
The Happy Pear Podcast
07/13/22 • 105 min
“Psychologically safe teams is where everybody feels okay to speak up... sometimes the greatest ideas will come from the quietest voices.”
This week we had the pleasure to sit with our friend, confident and one of Europe's leading minds in resilience, leadership, business strategy, psychological safety and practical neuroscience - Justin Caffrey!
“When people negotiate, everyone wants to win... most people struggle when it’s quiet, when there’s a void someone will fill it... so if you are able to go in calm, conscious of your breath and slowing down... you create this void and the other person filling the void will impart information that often results in you winning the negotiation...”
Justin has taught and coached global talent for over twenty-five years, building and selling million-dollar businesses. His popular YouTube channel has had over 1 million views teaching his techniques.
Holding a Master's in Psychological Interventions using Neuroscience and Mindfulness from University College Dublin. Justin is also trained as a Psychotherapeutic Coach, an Accredited Wellness coach from the Mayo Institute and is a Certified Investment Fund Director. Not to mention he is one of only a handful of Westerners to complete the grueling Masters Training with the Yamabushi in the remote mountains of Shonai in Japan!
In 2010, at the peak of his career as a dynamic CEO having founded multiple investment firms, Justin’s son Joshua died - just before his first birthday. Business carried on as normal until 2014, when Justin had what turned out to be a panic attack in the middle of a crucial meeting. He had failed to grieve his son’s death.
In the year that followed his life and health started to unravel. The cause was not Joshua’s death, but the trigger. The CEO had lacked the psychological safety to speak about his emotions and vulnerabilities, no matter the situation.
It would be 2016 before Justin started talking about his vulnerabilities publicly. Fearing it would be a career-ending moment, Justin spoke about the psychological vulnerability he encountered after his son's death and the constant barrage of negative self-talk. Awaiting judgement, he received only praise and gratitude. Colleagues, clients, and strangers all found something within his words.
Justin is a skilled storyteller narrating his professional and personal journey in a way that everyone from boardroom to kitchen tables can relate to . We all have difficult events in life, he shares how losing his son at the peak of his city career, was ultimately a blessing, and how we can all turn around any challenges we face in life.
Despite the tragedy of his son’s death, this episode will leave you feeling hopeful, broaden your awareness of what it truly means to feel safe in your personal and work environment, and of course for any founders, leaders and CEO’s out there, how to get the best out of your employees!
Enjoy!
Lots of love,
Dave and Steve

Female Hormones - is the lack of medical studies ruining women’s health?
The Happy Pear Podcast
08/31/22 • 97 min
We have come to the end of our series of mash-up episodes, and what better way to go out with a bang than with an episode like this!
An incredibly important topic. That as a man I (Stephen here) am ashamed to say is not taken more seriously...
We have had a number of female health specialists on our podcast, from period pains, menopause, perimenopause to fertility. And what we found amazing is how complex it all is, and perhaps polarising?
Should you take the pill, should you not? Should you take HRT, should you not? Should you eat differently to a man? Should you exercise in the same way a man does? The list goes on...
There are many different opinions and the one thing we have come to the conclusion is that not all the information is made easily available to women so they can make informed choices for themselves...
It also makes you wonder are we lacking in the full picture, why does women’s health bring up so many opposing opinions?
So today I would like to bring you on a journey, a journey all about hormones and women's health and what we know from the studies that have been done. We have taken extracts from some of the female experts we have had to date on this podcast, and broken down the potential health risks, symptoms, natural remedies, and medical interventions that could massively improve a female's life and in some cases even prevent much more serious health risks.
We hope that after listening to this episode, you, as a woman, can feel much more informed to make the right choices when it comes to hormones. Or to any men listening you gain a better understanding of what a female has to go through and can be better support for your mothers, sisters, daughters, friends, and colleagues. This really is an episode for everyone!
Such an important topic, enjoy!
Lots of Love,
Dave & Steve x

Ella Mills aka Deliciously Ella
The Happy Pear Podcast
03/02/21 • 51 min
“Health is so simple. We can make it so complicated, but at the base of it is simplicity. That's what I have been focusing on and I can’t tell you the difference it has made”
Our guest on this episode of The Happy Pear Podcast is the amazing Ella Mills, founder and driving force behind the brand Deliciously Ella. Ella is all about using her platform to share simple and delicious ways to take the complication out of healthy living and to feel better.
Starting from a personal blog, Deliciously Ella has evolved into so many things, from an app, to a deli, to a series of podcasts and even a hugely successful range of plant-based food products available all over the UK and now Ireland. Her story has a lot of similarities to ours, so it was so lovely to get the chance to sit down for a longer period of time with her.
Ella started everything back in 2012. She had previously been diagnosed with a number of serious health issues and following months in and out of hospital and numerous unsuccessful treatments, she started looking into other ways of managing her condition. Encouraged by stories and research, she decided to turn to a whole food, plant-based diet and, well, the rest is history. Ella is the picture of health today and hopes that sharing her journey can help others to follow in her footsteps. She is now married to her wonderful husband, Matt, who is the CEO of Deliciously Ella and she is mother of two small daughters.
Ella is always so honest and lovely, and her passion really does shine through when she speaks, so we are so excited to share this lovely conversation with you!
In this episode, Ella takes us through:
The origins of Deliciously Ella and her unexpected journey to creating a business.
How she balances relationships and life in a family business.
Balancing ambition and contentment.
Her health journey, using food as medicine and discovering her online community.
What her definition of health is today.
How she balances public and private life.
Navigating social media today and staying mindful with content.
Keeping tabs on her relationship with technology.
Building a brand with herself at the centre.
How she defines success and what her ‘why’ is.
Her perspective on gratitude.
Ella is continually an inspiration for us - we always take an incredible amount from her and we really hope you find it great for you!
Big love,
Dave & Steve

How to achieve more by doing less with Oliver Burkeman
The Happy Pear Podcast
10/25/22 • 80 min
Oliver Burkeman is the author of the New York Times and Sunday Times bestseller Four Thousand Weeks, about embracing limitation and finally getting round to what counts, along with The Antidote: Happiness for People Who Can't Stand Positive Thinking and Help! How to Become Slightly Happier and Get a Bit More Done.
“We are dissuaded from doing things that add great value to our lives just to avoid discomfort.”
For many years he wrote a popular column for the Guardian, 'This Column Will Change Your Life'. In his email newsletter The Imperfectionist, he writes about productivity, mortality, the power of limits and building a meaningful life in an age of distraction. He lives in the North York Moors.
This episode is particularly special as it is the first that was LIVE on our app, Healthy Living by The Happy Pear!
“We talk about not wanting to settle when we think we can do better... but we end up becoming a commitment-phobe and don’t realise that both of these are settling. One is settling for an imperfect human being and the other is denying yourself the pleasure of and benefits of a long term relationship... this doesn’t just apply to dating and it’s great to realise this so you stop making decisions motivated by this notion of a perfect outcome.”
We had a wonderful conversation with Oliver, and members of the app got to ask their questions too. We spoke about the issues with time management, our inability to be in the present moment, how to achieve more by doing less, how the concept “to settle” isn’t always a negative thing, and the importance of leaning into discomfort, amongst many other things.
We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did.
Lots of Love,
Dave & Steve x

Soil - Our food system's superpower? With Charles Dowding
The Happy Pear Podcast
06/22/22 • 76 min
Would you eat veg with soil on it? But what if it was potentially healthier for you and the planet?
According to the UN’s FAO, over 90% of the Earth’s soil could be degraded by 2050. There are several reasons but “conventional farming” that uses chemicals (e.g. pesticides), machinery and other modern techniques is potentially adding to the problem.
So what’s the solution? Is organic farming (using no pesticides) enough?
Charles Dowding, this week’s podcast guest, is an unsung hero of progressive farming. An author, YouTuber and NO DIG pioneer, Charles started his experimentation with NO DIG back in 1982 and the results were amazing. From the wonderful harvest and reduction in weeds; to the improvement in retention of health within the food he grew, Charles realised he had hit on something special!
Since then Charles has been sharing his findings about the benefits of NO DIG and the movement is catching on!
Within our own 4-acre farm we also practice the method of NO DIG: we are new to farming in this capacity and so far we are getting so much joy from it.
“Through my experience, I’ve become more and more aware of how soil works, through not working it! I’ve increased my understanding of biodiversity and the need to keep carbon in the soil. Digging, and any form of soil exposure, releases CO2 into the atmosphere. No dig keeps carbon locked in the soil, and carbon in many forms is the building block of soil structure and food.”
We absolutely loved this episode. We hope you dig it, too!
Lots of Love,
Dave & Steve
