In this personal and reflective episode, I’m sharing an update on the future of the podcast and what’s unfolding behind the scenes. I'm pressing pause for a little summer hiatus — not out of disconnection, but from a deep desire to realign, recharge, and create from a place of inspiration rather than obligation.

Tune in to hear more about why this break feels aligned, what’s coming down the pipeline, and how I’m navigating the balance between holding space for others and tending to my own rhythms. This episode is a transparent look at the ebbs, flows, and pauses that fuel sustainable creativity.

In this episode, I’m continuing the exploration of Soul Contracts and going beyond the introduction of them that I gave back in part one to share deeper insights into how they shape our relationships and lives.

We’ll look at Soul Contracts from a higher perspective: not as a fixed itinerary, but as evolving journeys influenced by our own choices and the choices of our animals. I talk about why we might often only see a ‘snapshot’ of the contract at a time, how themes show up across different relationships, and how certain animals seem to arrive in our lives just when we need them.

We’ll also explore the creation of these contracts, how they may span lifetimes, and how some are formed in real-time as life unfolds versus being ‘pre-planned’. I share thoughts on witnessing “harder” Soul Contracts, especially in animals experiencing neglect or abuse, and how we might hold those situations with compassion and a higher lens.

And, if you’re curious about what your own Soul Contracts might be, this episode offers guidance, reflection questions, and a deeper invitation into the unseen threads that connect us.

In this illuminating and insightful episode, I dive deep into the fascinating and often emotional topic of animal reincarnation. While this theme has come up in past episodes, today I give it the dedicated space it deserves.

You'll learn what reincarnation really is, how it works across lifetimes, and what it looks like when one of your animals transitions and returns to you, sometimes in the same form, sometimes not. We explore timelines, soul evolution, form changes, and how to recognize if a soul has returned.

I also share personal stories about my own animals, Mowgli and Duke, who have both shown me the beauty, complexity, and real-world challenges of navigating reincarnation. Whether you're new to the concept or have experienced soul return firsthand, this episode offers deep insights, grounded wisdom, and a lot of supportive information.

In this profound and heart-opening episode, I’m joined by Alexa Linton to explore one of the most tender and transformative topics we face as animal guardians: the journey of death, dying, and the transitions that come with it. Together, we dive into the emotional and physical preparation for both sudden and inevitable end-of-life experiences, and how we can show up fully present and open-hearted for our beloved animals during this sacred time.

We talk about anticipatory grief, the importance of creating space to honour the process, and what it means to live fully with our animals, even amidst the fear of loss. Alexa brings deep wisdom around cultivating presence, creating capacity for grief and joy, and how our past experiences and unresolved emotions can shape how we navigate endings.

Whether you are currently supporting a pet nearing the end of life or wanting to prepare yourself for when that time comes, this episode offers grounded insights, emotional clarity, and gentle guidance for embracing both the beauty and the heartbreak of transition.

What does it really mean to receive an Animal Communication session from your animal? In this episode, I’m diving deep into the often-overlooked role of the guardian — how your energy, openness, mindset and perspective can shape the session and what your animal shares.

Whether you're booking your first session or you’ve received many, I’ll share with you what to consider before, during, and after your session. We'll explore how to prepare yourself emotionally and energetically, how to receive information with neutrality and discernment, and how to stay open to hearing your animal's truth, even when it challenges your expectations.

I’m also sharing real-life examples of sessions where resistance or attachment to specific outcomes shaped the experience, and what it means to trust in your animal’s wisdom and voice throughout the process.

This episode is both a guide and an invitation: to step into sessions with more awareness, to honour the communication as sacred, and to deepen your relationship with your animal through presence, curiosity, and trust.

In this episode, I explore how to navigate the more tender, edgy, or uncomfortable messages that can come through in animal communication sessions. The things that may be difficult for a guardian to hear and equally challenging for a communicator to deliver.

I talk about staying neutral, checking for accuracy, and honoring the animal’s voice, even when the message feels emotionally charged or unexpected. You'll also hear advice for guardians on how to receive these messages with openness, curiosity, and care.

Whether you're an Animal Communicator or a guardian, this conversation offers grounded, compassionate guidance for handling the harder parts of the communication process with integrity and trust.

In this tender and deeply personal episode, I’m joined by my mom, Michelle, as she opens up about the recent loss of her beloved dog, Benson. This conversation not only honours Benson but also speaks honestly about what it’s like to walk through this kind of transition with our animals.

We talk about Benson’s long health journey — years of hind-end weakness and immobility without any real answers from vets — and how my mom navigated the slow unfolding of his decline. She shares what it was like to reach that heartbreaking, yet deeply intuitive moment of knowing it was time, and all of the emotions, doubts, and grace that came with making that decision.

Michelle speaks candidly about Benson’s actual transition, the sacredness of that moment, and the beautiful affirmations they received from him — signs that affirmed his timing and readiness. We also explore what life has looked like in the weeks since, especially for their other dog, Gruff, who is navigating his own grief and adjustment in Benson’s absence.

This episode is full of tears, tender stories, and the very real, very human experience of loving — and letting go of — an animal who is part of the family. If you’ve ever had to make a similar decision or are walking that path now, we hope this conversation brings you a bit of comfort, connection, and the reminder that you’re not alone in it.
