In this two-part episode of The Grounded Communicator, we begin a deep exploration into navigating behaviours in our animals. This isn't from a place of correction or control, but from curiosity, neutrality, and understanding.

In Part One, we focus on how behaviours form and why they show up. We gently pull apart the many layers that can influence behaviour, including personality, lived experience, nervous system responses, soul contracts, past patterns, learned dynamics within the home, and so much more. This episode invites you to look beyond the idea of “good” or “bad” behaviour and instead see behaviour as information.

We also explore the often-overlooked truth that our relationship to a behaviour (our emotional charge, personal history, expectations, and nervous system) plays a significant role in how that behaviour shows up and how much friction it creates. Sometimes, simply shifting perspective can soften the energy around a behaviour, even before anything changes externally.

You’ll be guided through the first three foundational steps to navigating behaviour:

Understanding where a behaviour is coming from

Exploring why it feels undesirable or activating for you

Noticing when, where, and with whom the behaviour occurs

This episode isn’t about fixing your animal. It’s about creating enough neutrality and awareness to truly see what’s happening for them and for you.

If you’re navigating challenging behaviours with an animal you love, this episode is an invitation to slow down, soften your lens, and listen more deeply.
