Animal communication isn’t just about connecting with animals—it’s also about growing as a human being.

In this episode, I share a recent conversation with a hermit crab that gave me a profound new perspective on self-care.

You’ll hear:

Are you ready for a dose of inspiration to help jumpstart your animal communication learning process?
I've noticed a few themes emerging during our Q&A calls in the Animal Communicator Academy this month. My students are dealing with the 4 challenges every beginner faces:

1. confidence
2. trust
3. getting confirmation
4. knowing that you are really communicating with an animal

Are you facing any of these challenges, too?
This week, I am sharing a video I made 5 years ago because it addresses all of these common challenges.
I think this will help anyone who is struggling with trusting themselves, wanting to get the ‘right’ answer, and wondering how long it takes to be confident as an animal communicator - whether that is formally as a professional or informally with your own family and friends.
This video was in response to a question my then-student Lisa asked me: "When will I feel confident as an animal communicator?"
I went really in-depth with my analysis of her situation and my suggestions for ways to solve her problems.
Watch the short (less than 15 minutes) video all the way to the end because I share 4 practical tips for addressing these challenges that anyone can implement right away.Do you ever struggle with feeling confident as an Animal Communicator?
