Ep. 432 Soul Contracts Between Humans and Their Pets with Danielle MacKinnon

Learn how this animal communicator connects with animals before and after death and the lessons we can learn from our animal companions.

She shares her experiences learning from animals and discovering that they are some of our best teachers for our own lives, even after they have died. She teaches others how to develop their own innate ability to communicate with their pets and discusses how to understand what our pets want us to know about the role they play in our lives and how to deal with our grief after they have died.
