All words have energy and names are no different. What we call our pet can have a huge effect on how they behave, how they see themselves, and how they interact with us. In this episode Karen, Meredith, and Julie share their experiences in naming the animals in their lives, as well as what the animals have asked to be called -  including their nicknames. Our animals remind us to be mindful about how we address them and share plenty of stories of what happens when we aren’t.

Reincarnation of our beloved pets is an interesting topic and one Julie, Karen and Meredith are all curious about. Some animal communicators say it doesn’t happen and others are certain it happens all the time. This week, our three hosts discuss their experiences in communicating with animals who have reincarnated. As expected, the animals have a lot to say on the topic! And their messages are as expansive and varied as the animals themselves. With the animals' help, our hosts explore some of the possibilities and how the animals are helping us embrace ideas outside of our current understanding.
