E273 - Holli Shan - How to talk with other beings
from Hacks and Hobbies with Junaid Ahmed · host Junaid Ahmed
In this episode, I get to speak with a TEDx speaker, Holli Shan. I had the opportunity to attend TEDx Ashburn my first attendance ever to such an event. It was also the very first TEDx in Ashburn with a growing community of speakers their first-ever and she was one of the first speakers to speak about her passion and what she's been doing with her life. She comes from a background of animal communication and has experienced with human communication, which she then translated to just, you know, basically, she's an animal whisperer. And listening to her story. And during her journey, I was just totally blown away. Our Guest Holli Shan LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/hollishan Website: compassionspeaks.com (Company Website) Twitter: HolliShan Hacks to take Away She became an animal communicator because she wasn't completely understanding her own pets. Gravitated towards animals more so than other people. When someone is able to solve their own problem and also has that passion for this thing that they do, then they can go out and bring it to a worldwide stage. Her mission is to bridge the gap of understanding between people and their animal companions. Because once we can bridge that gap, we can have a happier home. You can never really open a door gracefully by battering it down. It's like, you can't beat the point into someone else's head. If someone is that rigid, you have to at least give them the invitation to walk through that door. It's definitely been an incredible journey working with the animals, and just working with them, and the whole thing of also getting to working with yourself, because there's a whole evolution that goes on and working within the species. Trauma is anything that could have happened, anything that caused enough of a shock, anything that caused a terror. When you're working with your animals when you're dealing with your animals. If you're having a hard time, it is okay to be honest with them, because you're coming from an authentic place, and they're willing to work with you there. ——Connect Here!—— You can find Hacks & Hobbies on these popular social media networks: Facebook: fb.com/hacksandhobbies LinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/hacksandhobbies Instagram: instagram.com/hacksandhobbies Twitter: twitter.com/hacksandhobbies or through our website: hacksandhobbies.com 🎙 Wanna be a guest?
