Behavioral Euthanasia

Behavioral Euthanasia

Author: Mind Body Spirit.fm October 20, 2025 Duration: 43:53
A lot of previous episodes have talked about difficult topics from love and loss, euthanasia and grief. And in this poignant and vulnerable conversation, Meredith talks with Karen and Julie about behavioral euthanasia. Listeners, please take care if this is not a topic you believe you can hear.  It is important to discuss. Meredith has been through it and she has counseled others who have been through it. She is part of a larger community of people offering support for each other. Behavioral Euthanasia is a subject we NEED to talk about, and our co-hosts hope is that by sharing Meredith’s story, we can offer support to someone else going through such a painful experience.

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.
