Pets are the new kids. While we may choose them, often it feels like they chose us. Today’s guest says “If we listen to pets, we don’t have to suffer.” And Miranda Alcott, animal communications counselor, is helping us to do through her HarmoniousListening™ approach that combines her gifts of non-verbal communication, conscious intuitive connection, and deep understanding. Whether you believe this type of communication is possible, all I can say is that everything she told me rang true. She shares the lessons we can learn from our animals, utilizing our skills of nonverbal communication, and connecting more deeply with our companions.

There’s nothing like running a business to reveal the deepest core of who you are. This episode, for example, started with the tease of a new SkinOwl product—the first in over two years. But what starts with business quickly leads to talking about the trajectory of running a business, making a conscious effort to put yourself back into the world after bunkering down, and creating a life that works for you.
