Death, Dying, and the Art of Presence with Alexa Linton

In this profound and heart-opening episode, I’m joined by Alexa Linton to explore one of the most tender and transformative topics we face as animal guardians: the journey of death, dying, and the transitions that come with it. Together, we dive into the emotional and physical preparation for both sudden and inevitable end-of-life experiences, and how we can show up fully present and open-hearted for our beloved animals during this sacred time.We talk about anticipatory grief, the importance of creating space to honour the process, and what it means to live fully with our animals, even amidst the fear of loss. Alexa brings deep wisdom around cultivating presence, creating capacity for grief and joy, and how our past experiences and unresolved emotions can shape how we navigate endings.Whether you are currently supporting a pet nearing the end of life or wanting to prepare yourself for when that time comes, this episode offers grounded insights, emotional clarity, and gentle guidance for embracing both the beauty and the heartbreak of transition.About Alexa Linton: Alexa specializes in supporting animals with transitions, past, present, or future, whether they involve physical and emotional injury or limitation, change of environment/moving, a change in stewardship, death and dying or the loss of an herd or pack mate, a challenging training experience, or a move due to evacuation or sudden change. She loves helping animals communicate, heal and adapt, with support from a combination of modalities, including BodyTalk, Animal communication, flower essence work, nutrition support, and osteopathy. As an Osteopathic Practitioner, she brings intensive knowledge and understanding of anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, and interconnectivity to each session.Connect with Alexa Linton Website: www.alexalinton.caWebsite: www.outsidetheboxequine.comPodcast: www.wholehorse.caInstagram @alexalinton & @outsidethebox_equineFacebook @alexalinton Book: Death Sucks: A Straight-Up Guide to Navigating Your Pet's Final TransitionConnect with Brittany Ashworth: Website: www.sacredechos.comInstagram @sacredechosFacebook @sacredechos
