The Human-Animal Connection - Pet Life Radio Original

In this episode of The Human-Animal Connection, host Genie Joseph sits down with Dr. Keith McLaughlin to explore energy healing with animals—and what it looks like when we “listen” without words. Dr. Keith shares how his gentle, nervous-system–focused work (including Network Spinal) supports the body’s natural ability to self-correct, and how that same intuitive approach can translate to animals. Genie talks about how Dr. Keith worked with her dog Sophia (a 12-year-old rescue with mobility challenges) and therapy dog Harry (with past trauma), plus two rescued miniature therapy donkeys, Rosie and Lily—revealing how animals communicate through movement, distance, eye contact, and body language. You’ll also get simple, practical takeaways for pet parents: how to slow down, use “I’m noticing…” and begin tuning in to what your animal may be telling you through their nervous system and behavior.

Everything is energy, all life, all matter – and we can learn to communicate with energy through our intuition. Life becomes infinitely sweeter and easier when we connect with our intuitive guidance on everything from the most mundane issues of daily life to decisions of significant consequence. In this episode, I speak with Ronnie Ann Ryan, an intuitive, wise woman who helps midlife women rise into their power. She tells stories of talking to animals, the elements, plants, and people, using her intuition to help her navigate life’s twists and turns. She offers listeners several tips on how to cultivate their intuition, which is like a muscle; the more you use it, the stronger it becomes. And she gives you the number one tool that will help you increase the power and clarity of your intuitive connection. Intuition is natural, it is the wisest part of yourself, talking with the best and highest levels of consciousness. You deserve to have a healthy, happy relationship with your secret power – your intuition.

Toby was an adopted rescue who was fear-reactive and couldn’t be left at home without leaving a trail of destruction. He destroyed twelve toilet lids! Author Charmaine Hammond brought in an animal behavioralist who told her Toby needed a job. After passing his Therapy Dog Test, Toby became a wonderful ambassador of healing for all he met. He had a five-year career visiting a psychiatric hospital where he met each patient as a unique individual, giving them complete attention and knowing how to engage differently with each one. Then we went on to visit schools and inspired young children to accept themselves. When Toby singled them specifically out in the crowd, to give them a dose of pure love, their lives blossomed. He even inspired a shy young boy who had been bullied to write his own story. Toby’s adventures are featured in four books, including “On Toby’s Terms” and “Toby’s Forever Family,” written by Charmaine Hammond, who also helps people and individuals find ways to connect with sponsors for their programs.

Melisa Pearce is a lifelong horsewoman and the founder of Touched By a Horse. She is the creator of the Equine Gestalt Coaching Method. Over the last three decades, she has coached and helped others through her private psychotherapy practice and partnership with horses. She developed her unique method of combining Gestalt with her horses in Gestalt sessions beginning in the 1980s. This episode is filled with inspiring and heart-warming stories of how specifically horses can be our partners in healing. She speaks about horses who read us immediately – knowing whether we war in our head or our hearts, horses that will “act out” or pantomime what we are feeling, and horses that will help us realign our energy centers to be more balanced and whole. She gives exercises that you can try at home to experiment with the animals who share your life.

Liz Murdoch is a renowned animal communicator recommended by holistic veterinarians to help people understand “when it is time” -- and also when the animal needs a little more time. In many cases, Liz hears from the animal that there is something small that the animal needs to feel complete and ready to let go of the body. Her heart-warming stories of hearing from dogs and cats who are both ready, and some who are not quite ready, tell her about what they need in the final hours, days, or sometimes months.

I ask Liz, “What is it like for an animal to let go of the body?” “What have some of the animals told you they need from their humans to be complete and ready to pass?” In this inspiring conversation, we glimpse into how animals feel about and prepare to leave the body. This is a very hard time for most animal lovers, but this show will make the journey lighter.
