The Experience of Vystopia: Enemy or Hidden Asset
In this episode, vegan psychologist Clare Mann is joined by philosopher Matthew C. Halteman to explore Vystopia—the anguish of living ethically in a non-vegan world—and how it can become a source of compassionate strength.
Together, they unpack the roots of resistance to veganism, from identity and belonging to comfort and moral tension, and discuss how compassionate communication can open hearts instead of deepening defenses.
You’ll discover practical insights for effective vegan advocacy:
- Inner family alignment: Listen to all inner parts with kindness.
- Curiosity over judgment: Invite, don’t impose, change.
- Flourishing focus: Center on animal joy and shared thriving.
- Diverse pathways: Adapt your message to reach every heart.
Learn how to ground before engaging, ask before arguing, and pivot toward flourishing to turn challenge into connection.
