The Year of the Fire Horse

The Year of the Fire Horse

Author: Mind Body Spirit.fm February 16, 2026 Duration: 44:51
As we approach the rare Year of the Fire Horse, Meredith, Julie and Karen explore what this bold, catalytic energy invites - and what it asks us to tend with care. Reflecting on personal astrology, Chinese zodiac wisdom, and lived experience with horses, the hosts discuss leadership, momentum, self-expression, and the nervous system realities of change. With horses as both metaphor and teacher, this episode offers grounded insight into how to move forward without overriding tenderness, intuition, or grief - and how partnership, rather than force, may be the key to navigating the year ahead.

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.
