I'm Awake! Now What?

This Sunday, I sat down with best-selling Author and Animal Communicator Joan Ranquet. Joan's most recent book "Emotional Freedom Technique for Animals and their Humans, Creating a Harmonious Relationship through Tapping" offers insights into the art of welcoming new pets into your home with compassion and understanding. Joan explains how we can build and deepen our intimacy with our pets. She talks about helping animals and their human beings release trauma together through tapping. We also discuss the grief around losing our pets, what happens when our pets cross over, and how we can stay connected to our pets on the other side.
