The Grounded Communicator episodes

  • Navigating Edgy Conversations in Animal Communication

    In this episode, I explore how to navigate the more tender, edgy, or uncomfortable messages that can come through in animal communication sessions. The things that may be difficult for a guardian to hear and equally challenging for a communicator to deliver. 

    I talk about staying neutral, checking for accuracy, and honoring the animal’s voice, even when the message feels emotionally charged or unexpected. You'll also hear advice for guardians on how to receive these messages with openness, curiosity, and care. 

    Whether you're an Animal Communicator or a guardian, this conversation offers grounded, compassionate guidance for handling the harder parts of the communication process with integrity and trust.

  • Navigating the Loss of Benson with Michelle Lypkie

    In this tender and deeply personal episode, I’m joined by my mom, Michelle, as she opens up about the recent loss of her beloved dog, Benson. This conversation not only honours Benson but also speaks honestly about what it’s like to walk through this kind of transition with our animals.


    We talk about Benson’s long health journey — years of hind-end weakness and immobility without any real answers from vets — and how my mom navigated the slow unfolding of his decline. She shares what it was like to reach that heartbreaking, yet deeply intuitive moment of knowing it was time, and all of the emotions, doubts, and grace that came with making that decision.


    Michelle speaks candidly about Benson’s actual transition, the sacredness of that moment, and the beautiful affirmations they received from him — signs that affirmed his timing and readiness. We also explore what life has looked like in the weeks since, especially for their other dog, Gruff, who is navigating his own grief and adjustment in Benson’s absence.


    This episode is full of tears, tender stories, and the very real, very human experience of loving — and letting go of — an animal who is part of the family. If you’ve ever had to make a similar decision or are walking that path now, we hope this conversation brings you a bit of comfort, connection, and the reminder that you’re not alone in it.

  • Animal Intuitive vs. Animal Communicator

    In this episode, I’m sharing my perspective on the difference between being an animal intuitive and an animal communicator — and why I see them as two distinct stages in the journey of connecting with animals.

    In this conversation I hope to support you in understanding where you might be on your own path with this, and hopefully take some of the pressure off! I’ll be talking about how I came to this understanding, how this “middle step” of being an intuitive with animals is overlooked, and why recognizing it can actually bring you so much clarity and confidence.

    I’ll also share how this shows up in my own practice, and offer thoughts on how you can start building your intuitive connection with animals in a grounded, easeful way.

    If you’re curious about the “in-between” space — the part where you’re receiving things but not quite feeling like an animal communicator yet or even honing your skills— this one’s for you.

  • My Journey to Becoming an Animal Communicator

    In this deeply personal episode, I’m sharing something that feels both vulnerable and important—my journey to becoming an animal communicator. From growing up as a deeply sensitive, animal-loving kid, to navigating societal expectations, people-pleasing, and the pressures of “doing life right,” this episode walks you through the twists and turns of how I found my way back to myself through the sacred practice of Animal Communication.


    This isn’t a “how-to” episode—it’s a story. One filled with doubt, remembering, healing, and reclaiming. I talk about childhood conditioning, what it was like to start hearing and sensing in ways that felt both magical and terrifying, and the pivotal moments (and people) that shaped how I now walk this path.


    I also open up about the internal work it took to actually own this identity out loud, how animal communication quietly grew behind the scenes while I was still teaching full-time, and what it looked like to finally make the leap into doing this work full-time—even when it was messy, unplanned, and full of unknowns.


    If you’re on your own journey of building a practice, finding your voice, or just trying to figure out what’s true for you… I hope this episode reminds you that your path doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s. You’re not behind. You’re exactly where you need to be.

  • Using Animal Communication to Welcome a New Animal Into Your Life

    In this episode, we explore how Animal Communication can support the process of bringing a new animal into your life, whether you're welcoming them into your home or your herd.

    This conversation was inspired by the growing number of people reaching out with beautiful curiosity about how animal communication can help them prepare for and connect with the incoming animals in their lives. Whether it's from a place still deciding which animal is meant to partner with you, or you're navigating the early stages of integration, animal communication offers a unique and soul-led way to tune in, ask questions, and receive insight.

    I share a few recent stories from sessions (with full permission, of course!) — including choosing between puppies, welcoming a horse into an existing herd, and exploring compatibility between current and potential animal companions.

    Whether you're preparing to welcome a new animal into the family, or simply wondering what's possible, this episode offers a supportive perspective on what exploring this for yourself could look like.

  • Life Beyond the Physical: What Animals Experience After a Transition

    What happens to our beloved animals after they transition from their physical bodies? In this episode, we explore this journey from the perspective of the animals themselves—what they have shown and shared about their experience as fully spirit beings.


    If you haven’t listened to our last episode on preparing for transition, I recommend starting there, as this is a natural continuation of that conversation. Today, we’ll explore what happens after the transition—the journey through realms, the process of fully crossing over, and what it means when an animal stays in the “in-between” for a time.


    We’ll also talk about what animals do once they are in spirit—how they continue to be present with us, how they move between realms, and how they are still evolving and growing just as we are. Many people wonder, Is my animal still with me? Can they see me? Do they know I miss them? In this episode, I’ll share their messages of reassurance, love, and guidance.


    Lastly, I’ll share some wisdom from animals in spirit—messages about love, perspective, and the everlasting connection between souls. They remind us that this is not an ending but a transformation, and love is never lost. It simply shifts into a new form.


    Join me in this heartfelt conversation as we deepen our understanding of what it means for our animals to transition, not as a loss, but as a continuation of their soul’s journey. ❤️

  • Honouring the Journey: How Animals Prepare for Transition

    Saying goodbye to an animal is never easy, bu. their transition is more than just an ending—it’s a deeply personal and sacred journey. In this episode, we explore what the process of a transition can look like.


    We’ll talk about how animals let us know they’re ready, how their sense of time differs from ours, and the emotions that can come up as we navigate this journey with them. From the moment of acceptance to the final day, I’ll share what animals have shown about their experience—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—and how we, as their humans, can honour their wishes and needs.


    I’ll also discuss the time in between—those days, weeks, or even months when they are preparing, and we are too. What does this phase look like? What signs might they give us? And how can we allow their timeline to unfold with trust, even when it feels difficult?


    On the day of transition, we’ll explore ways to bring intention, love, and ceremony into the process. Whether through music, herbs, meaningful rituals, or simply being present, this can be a sacred time for both the animal and their human. We’ll also talk about what happens as they leave their physical body—what they experience, what they want us to know, and how they continue to stay connected after.


    For those who have experienced an unexpected or immediate loss, I’ll also touch on how these transitions, while different, still hold space for connection, love, and meaning.


    Above all, this episode is a heartfelt guide to walking this path with presence, trust, and love. Our animals don’t see transition the way we do—it’s not a goodbye, but a shift in connection. If we allow it, this journey can be as beautiful as the love we’ve shared with them all along.

  • How Animals Ask for Support and Know What They Need

    In this episode, we explore how animals communicate the specific support they need—emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually. Whether it’s a request for a supplement, a type of bodywork, or even a particular brand, animals can be surprisingly precise about what will help them. I’ll share how these requests come through in sessions via visuals, sensations, and energetic impressions, and how I, as an Animal Communicator, translate this non-verbal language into clear, actionable insights for guardians.


    This episode was inspired by a question from a guardian after a session, who asked, “How did my animal know what support she needed—and how did she know about that exact product?” It struck me as something many others might be curious about, too!


    I’ll also walk you through the tools I use to discover and confirm what animals are asking for, the ways that this information is received, and how to sense how specific or open-ended their requests might be. This episode is all about deepening your understanding of how animals communicate and guide their own healing and how we can better support them in this understanding.

  • Supporting our Animals through Life Changes

    In this episode, I delve into how our beloved animals cope with various life changes. Whether it's adjusting to a new home, welcoming a new family member, or dealing with health issues like aging or surgery, our animals experience these changes deeply.


    I share practical tips on how to support them during these times, from communicating effectively and offering consistent routines to exploring holistic supports like animal communication, energy work, and herbal remedies.


    Join me as I explore the emotional sensitivity of our animals and how to navigate changes with empathy and care.
