If you've ever grappled with the fear of wasting your potential, and wondered whether what you're doing right now is contributing to your path in life… I have good news! You might have seen the quote recently that states, "Everything is a win when the goal is experience." In today's episode, I walk you through one of my favourite stories about how my gelding Ike came into my life, and how witnessing his path proves to me that anything is possible no matter where it is you find yourself currently. Plus, you'll learn a few extra bits about my personal journey - including how I went from wanting to be an Olympian to living a life led by animals with the help of my mare, Fara - and how despite all the times I've felt fearful and unsure, and struggled immensely along the way, I can confidently say now that it's all been leading me to exactly where I am today.

With the magnitude of injustice and crisis going on in the world today, it's incredibly easy to underestimate the magnitude of our impact as individuals.  Especially when you might be devoting a lot of your free-time and money towards your relationships with your animals, you, like me, may have questioned: how is this contributing to the greater good? Should I be putting my energy elsewhere right now in order to have a better impact on humanity? In today's episode, I invite you to consider how cultivating a life in connection to animals ripples into shaping you as a person who is primed to be more compassionate, reverent and curious towards all life on earth - and how you can use this awareness to expand your influence even more.  Featured reading: "The Summer Day" poem by Mary Oliver  Follow me on Instagram: @thatpetpoet Join my Patreon community to access bonus episode content, ask me the questions you have about your animals, and hone your own intuitive and artistic qualities through my flagship workshop, Open Your Animal Senses: Poetry and Intuitive Animal Communication Workshop (20% off until April 30th, 2026 to celebrate National Poetry Writing Month) https://www.patreon.com/c/channeledpetpoetrybyelsie/membership Book a custom Channeled Pet Poem and learn more about my work via my website: https://channeledpetpoetrybyelsie.com/ Please rate the podcast and share it with your animal-loving, spiritually curious friends!

Taking opposite action denotes consciously deciding to choose an emotional state or reaction that opposes our initial fear-based instincts, so we can experience greater ease and empowerment in times of stress with our animals. I explain this simple but powerful protocol in today's episode, with the help of an experience I went through shortly after learning it: Ike breaking a tooth and being unable to chew properly for over 24 hours.  If you're prone to worrying and becoming anxious about your animals' health and well-being (who isn't?) then today's podcast is sure to bring a grounding perspective on what it is you CAN do when stress and circumstances are pushing you to feel out of control.  Follow me on Instagram: @thatpetpoet Join my Patreon community to access bonus episode content, ask me the questions you have about your animals, and hone your own intuitive and artistic qualities through my flagship workshop, Open Your Animal Senses: Poetry and Intuitive Animal Communication Workshop (20% off until April 30th, 2026 to celebrate National Poetry Writing Month!) https://www.patreon.com/c/channeledpetpoetrybyelsie/membership Book a custom Channeled Pet Poem and learn more about my work via my website: https://channeledpetpoetrybyelsie.com/ Please rate the podcast and share it with your animal-loving, spiritually curious friends!

Have you ever noticed that magical things start to happen when you listen to yourself and lean into your true needs, preferences and personal operating style?  I like to think of finding your flow and ease in life as hopping into the car and noticing with glee when you're met with a string of greenlights. Perhaps you've also met significant animals and people at just the right time, or landed in a dream situation almost by miracle. But have you ever thought about how these moments of alignment come in direct response to honouring yourself?   I love reflecting on the magic of timing, and in this episode I share several stories of how timing aligned perfectly to bring me some seriously meaningful and beautiful circumstances and experiences - and how in hindsight I've come to correlate these synchronicities with following my inner truth and values.  Welcome to a fun storytime and be sure to listen through for my top tip on following your current of flow!  Follow me on Instagram: @thatpetpoet Join my Patreon community to access bonus episode content, ask me the questions you have about your animals, and hone your own intuitive and artistic qualities through my flagship workshop, Open Your Animal Senses: Poetry and Intuitive Animal Communication Workshop https://www.patreon.com/c/channeledpetpoetrybyelsie/membership Book a custom Channeled Pet Poem and learn more about my work via my website: https://channeledpetpoetrybyelsie.com/ Please rate the podcast and share it with your animal-loving, spiritually curious friends!

Learning to trust yourself, your gifts and your voice is a rite of passage for many of us - as well as an on-going journey.  In this episode, I share how my two horses, Fara and Ike, supported me in crafting one of the most special and profoundly healing projects I've ever created in my life: the chapter I shared in the co-authored international book, Unlocking the Wisdom of Horses Within You. Writing this story invited me more deeply into trusting myself and my words than anything I'd ever experienced, and I describe what that process looked like for me in today's show.  Stay tuned for a special bonus episode where I read out a sample of my chapter!
