In this our 150th episode, we're talking to animal communicator & medium Alicia Sweezer all about pet loss grief & how opening the conversation with our pets can help foster a better relationship.

I hired Alicia to communicate with my dog Gunner, who died in May, and it was one of the BEST things I've done on my grief journey so far. I highly recommend her to anyone with pets (either alive or crossed over) if you want to feel even more connected to your furry, scaly or feathered friend.
