In this episode, we tackle one of the toughest and tenderest topics in our lives with our pets: pet parent guilt, shame and self-unforgiveness. Whether you are carrying regret over losing your temper, a decision you wish you had made differently, an unexpected outcome with a pet care professional or an end-of-life experience that didn’t unfold the way you hoped, these feelings can keep you stuck in an emotional feedback loop that makes it difficult to reconnect with yourself and with your pet. Together, we explore what your pets have taught me again and again about intention, personal power and forgiveness, PLUS I share some of the practices I personally use to work through self-guilt and self-unforgiveness, regulate the nervous system and ease unresolving grief. 
As you listen, you will learn…. 
• The deeper soul lesson hiding beneath pet situations that cause you to get stuck in guilt, self-unforgiveness, self-blame and unresolving grief. 
• A new perspective for the “grief part” of your life with your pet that can transform your relationship with your own grief AND with your pet in spirit 
• Steps to take when self-judgment, self-criticism, self-unforgiveness or unresolving grief creates disconnection between you and your pet 
• How to navigate the aftermath when your pet’s death process doesn’t match up with your dreams or goals for the type of passing you wanted to give them
• Self-care practices that really work to help you rebound when a decision you make on your pet’s behalf doesn’t turn out the way you hoped it would 
• Exactly why your pet’s life with you was never going to be “perfect” (no matter how much you try) and why they are actually okay with that!
• What matters most to your pet when they are healing from trauma, dysregulation, mishandling or other all-too-common pet experiences
• True pet stories from my case files highlighting real messages from pets to their people about healing after traumatic shared experiences and working through grief
• 4 research-backed practices you can do right now to calm your nervous system, ease self-criticism and feel more connected to your heart and to your pet’s heart
• And much more….. 
NOTE: Please remember that this episode is designed to offer additional support, ideas and practices you can explore as you work through pet parent guilt, grief and self-unforgiveness. It is not intended to replace professional grief support, guidance or care when you need it.

My personal story of feeling called to seek Mastery-level training and why it actually had nothing to do with working with your pets!
How to work with Reiki for pets in a way that creates space for truly miraculous results.
Exactly why and how pet Reiki can offer valuable support to your pet at all levels, from physical and emotional to relational and soul-level.
Two remarkable pet Reiki stories from my personal case files that illustrate just how limitless Reiki’s potential truly is.

In this episode, we tackle five of the biggest “elephant in the room” fears that stop us from pursuing the joyful reunion of pet reincarnation. These are the barely-whispered questions I hear from nervous pet parents during pet sessions. If you’ve ever felt alone in your curiosity about pet reincarnation or have felt blocked from pursuing that curiosity because of fears about what others will think or whether it is even possible, this episode is just for you.
Is it selfish to want my specific soul pet back in a new body when there the shelters are overflowing with animals who need a good home?
If I learn about pet reincarnation while my soul pet is still alive will they think I don’t want them anymore and they will die quicker?
Is it bad to look for my reincarnating pet through a breeder when there are so many pets who need rescuing?
What if my friends and family don’t understand and they judge me for my interest in pet reincarnation or shame me for believing in such woo-woo nonsense?
What if I’m just so afraid of my own grief that I’m making up the idea of pet reincarnation to try to ease my fears?
As we talk through these questions, we will also explore:
A powerful reframe to stop overthinking, judging and doubting pet reincarnation and step into your own heart’s truth about what feels right for you and your pet
Where the whole idea of pet reincarnation comes from in the first place and why it seems more urgent with some pets than others
How manifesting the joyful reunion with your soul pet really works – and why it works
Why having an anticipatory (before death) pet reincarnation conversation with your soul pet might even prolong their life with you!
