She encourages us to talk with our animals—tell them when we're leaving, when we're coming back, and how much we love them. They feel our vibration, our energy, and they respond. We talk about grief, about…","meta_description":"Today’s episode of The Secrets of Being is a heart-expanding journey into a world many of us feel but few truly understand.
