[Welcome to another episode of the Pineapple Express podcast, where we explore the juicy and vibrant world of relationships! Today, we have a special guest with us—Dr. Marie Thouin, author of 'What is Compersion? Understanding Positive Empathy in Consensually Non-Monogamous Relationships.'

In this enlightening episode, we’ll dive into the transformative concept of compersion, a feeling of joy and empathy that arises when we see our partners thrive in other relationships. Dr. Thouin will share her insights on how understanding compersion can deepen connections, enrich our experiences, and foster healthier dynamics in consensually non-monogamous settings.

Marie Thouin, PhD is the author of "What is Compersion? Understanding Positive Empathy in Consensually Non-Monogamous Relationships," the first-ever comprehensive scholarly book on compersion. She has been featured in several publications and podcasts, including ELLE, the Savage Lovecast, The Times of London, and HuffPost. Marie has also published seminal research studies, the first encyclopedia entry on compersion, and is the creator of www.WhatIsCompersion.com, a popular website that features her research, blogs, and resources on the topic of compersion. She is the Founder of Love InSight, a Mindful Dating & Relationship Coaching practice where she supports and guides people of all backgrounds and relational orientations to create intentional and vibrant love lives.
