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.
