When Readings Don't Go As Planned

Author: Mind Body Spirit.fm November 3, 2025 Duration: 48:26
Julie, Karen and Meredith reflect on readings that haven’t gone exactly as they had hoped or planned. Not that they can ever be planned but well, you know, it’s a good reminder none of us are in control - the animals are! They also share what happened on their recent trip to New York City at the invitation of the International Dog Film Festival and International Cat Film Festival and a VIP Party beforehand that benefited Animal Lighthouse Rescue.

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.
