The Animal Communication Podcast

What is an Animal Medium and how does it differ - if it does - from Animal Communicator? Today, Julie, Karen and Meredith discuss the word Medium itself and all that it can mean. Connecting with an animal who is in-spirit can be really different from person-to-person. Talking through those different sensations and messages leaves Julie, Karen and Meredith with even more conversational topics and a sense of awe - particularly as they share their experiences of connecting with animals across The Rainbow Bridge. Those messages from beloved pets can be some of the most profound. If you consider yourself an animal medium and not an animal communicator - please reach out. We’d love to hear from you!

From a bird flying toward you to the moose laying down in the bog, the three co-hosts share their own encounters and conversations as well as how to uncover the symbolism behind an animal’s continual appearance in your life - like the rare loon that shut down the Bellagio fountain recently in Las Vegas. The key thing to know is that all of the animals you encounter potentially have messages for you and we’re being invited to listen. In this episode, we also answer a listener's question about how to help wild animals in transition.
