100th Episode with Listener Q&A

100th Episode with Listener Q&A

Author: Mind Body Spirit.fm May 25, 2026 Duration: 38:33
We made it — Episode 100! To celebrate this incredible milestone, Karen, Meredith, and Julie turned the microphone around and handed it straight to you — the listeners who have made this podcast what it is. In this joyful, heartfelt Q&A episode, your questions spark rich conversations about how to shift from the thinking mind into the open heart for animal communication, what viral moments like Punch the Monkey reveal about soul contracts and collective awakening, and how to wrap your mind (and heart) around the expansive world of 5D consciousness — with a little help from quantum physics, Everything Everywhere All at Once, and yes, the Keebler elves. We are so deeply grateful for every single one of you who has listened, shared, asked questions, and shown up for this community. One hundred episodes in, and we are just getting started. Thank you for being part of the journey.  Do YOU want to be an animal communicator or learn more about Soul Level Intuitive Coaching®?

Ever wondered what your pet is really thinking, or why a bird outside your window seems to pause just for you? The Animal Communication Podcast offers a rare window into those questions, guided by three experienced practitioners: Julie Hirt, Karen Dendy Smith, and Meredith Tollison. This isn't about training tips, but about connection. Each episode is built on their work as Soul Level Animal Communicators®, where they share candid stories and conversations that bridge our human world with the inner lives of animals. You'll hear them explore everyday mysteries-from puzzling behaviors and health concerns to the pure joy of play-as recounted by the animals themselves, both those sharing our homes and those in spirit. It’s a gentle, often surprising journey that redefines our relationship with all creatures, making it a unique listen for families, pet lovers, and anyone curious about the spiritual bonds we share. Presented by Mind Body Spirit.fm, this podcast invites you to slow down and listen in a whole new way.
