In this powerful episode, three amazing women - Maura Rassman-Gwiazda, Kenlyn Kolleen, and Doctor AMara - all connected by an incredible Australian Shepherd named Blue join Jenn to tell the incredible story of dogs who served as divine connectors and brought magic into their lives. They tell of the contract that they made with their dogs to honor when and where they wanted to pass on, and the power of using Tibetan practices to honor them after their death. If you are a dog lover or a pet owner, this episode is a must listen. It will open your eyes to the ways that you can honor your four-legged friends and what they can teach you about conscious dying.

 

This episode is dedicated to Blue, Pennylane, Ginny, and other beloved pets who have had such an impact on our lives.
