Have you dabbled in communication with animals? Even just for fun or out of curiosity? If so, you already know how surprising, heart-opening, and downright magical it can be. And if you haven’t tried it yet… buckle up. The possibilities for emotional healing — plus personal and spiritual growth — are honestly astonishing.

Animal Communciation

That’s exactly what I talked about with animal communicator Genie Joseph in this week’s whimsical episode of the Breathe Love & Magic podcast. Genie brought stories, wisdom, and humor to t he show. Our conversation was a reminder that animals are so much more than companions — they’re teachers, healers, guides, and sometimes even philosophers in furry bodies.

 

The Philosophical Rabbit

Genie started by sharing an enchanting story about her friend Paloma, an animal communicator in Switzerland. Paloma’s rabbit, Spot, was not your average carrot-crunching cutie. He had a giant personality.

According to Spot, he was a philosopher. And he had no problem telling Paloma that she simply wasn’t on his level. Apparently, he’d had a few human lives. At one point he literally said, “You’re not at my level. Go back and study.” Can you imagine being put down by a rabbit?

Each time Paloma returned, eager to collaborate, Spot sent her back to do more inner work. Only after she’d grown spiritually and emotionally did he finally agree to partner with her on writing a book.

This story cracked me up, but it also highlights something profound. Animals have rich inner worlds and unique perspectives. They’re funny, wise, stubborn, intuitive, and deeply aware, often far more than we give them credit for.

Wolfie Knew His Time Was Up

Next came the story that changed Genie’s life and honestly, it gave me chills. Her beloved cat, Wolfie, introduced her to the mystical world of animal communication.

Toward the end of his life, Genie was torn about what to do. The vet suggested euthanasia, but her heart wasn’t ready. She felt confused, guilty, and overwhelmed. This what people feel when you love an animal deeply and want to do right by them.

In a moment of desperation and tenderness, she asked Wolfie what he wanted and to her complete surprise, he answered. Wolfie telepathically communicated that he wanted to pass peacefully at home.

He provided the exact day and time he intended to leave his body which was between 3 and 5 AM. And just as he said, Wolfie passed at 3:30 AM.

This experience affirmed for Genie communication with animals was real. That moment became her turning point, the doorway that led her into a life long devotion to understanding and teaching intuitive animal communication. You might think of her as a pet psychic.

Everyday Wisdom from Animals

Wolfie’s guidance started earlier in as he helped Genie with everyday decisions, including her movie projects. If she wasn’t sure which script to choose, she’d spread them out on the floor. Wolfie would quietly wander over and plop himself on the one that ended up being the best choice. He was always right.

Eventually, Genie trusted him so much she referred to him as her “business partner.” Animals pick up your moods, your energy, your hesitations, andyour excitement. Sometimes they see the bigger picture long before humans do.

It makes you think, how many times has your pet has been trying to tell you something, but you just didn’t realize you were being guided?

Healing with Animal Therapy

Genie then shifted into the deeper purpose behind her work, which is emotional healing.

She shared the story of Oscar, a rescued dog with scars, missing teeth, and a heartbreaking past. Yet, despite everything he’d been through, Oscar became a powerful therapy partner for soldiers suffering from PTSD. That’s because Oscar had a rare gift.

He could sense the person in the room who was in the most pain. Not the loudest or the one with the biggest personality. Oscar sensed which person silently felt like they were at the end of their rope and were at the greatest risk of suicide.

He’d wander over, rest his head on their lap, and stay with them until their energy softened. Time after time, he found the soldier who needed him most. Genie watched veterans open emotionally, often for the first time in years. Oscar’s presence reached places that traditional therapy often couldn’t go where trauma hides.

Animals don’t judge. They don’t push, need you to “explain.” They simply see you and comfort you. Sometimes, that’s just what someone needs to begin healing.

Communication with Animals

One of the things Genie emphasized which I loved, is that animals have feelings and very real opinions. She shared the story of a horse who became cranky and withdrawn after being moved to a new barn. Nothing seemed physically wrong, but his behavior was off.

When Genie tuned in, she discovered he was upset because he used to spend all day with his companion, a female horse and not just the evenings. He missed the 24/7 connection with her.

Once his caretakers understood this, they changed his living situation and suddenly, the horse relaxed and returned to his bright, affectionate self. Sometimes the fix is emotional, not physical and the animal is just waiting for someone to ask what is needed.

Conversations with Animals Who Passed

Genie also talked about communicating with animals who have passed on. According to her, this can be even easier because they’re no longer limited by their bodies. The messages they send are often clearer, more detailed, and incredibly loving.

People who felt guilty about euthanasia decisions or worried they hadn’t done enough often found deep peace after hearing from their pet. These conversations helped them release burdens and understand their animals truly knew how loved they were.

It’s comforting to think that your pets still check in and are available to offer guidance from the other side.

Marvels of Intuitive Connection

At one point, I shared some of my own experiences with intuitive communication with animals. Like the time I negotiated with starlings who were dive-bombing a pool. Or the rabbit who mucnhed down my roses until I had a little “chat” with him.

These moments may seem small, but they show how communication can create understanding, harmony, and even cooperation between humans and the wild world around us. Animals listen, respond and they appreciate being spoken to with respect and awareness.

Exploring the Human–Animal Bond

My conversation with Genie opened a doorway into an entirely different way of relating to our animal companions. Her work through The Human Animal Connection helps pet owners worldwide deepen their relationships, understand their animal’s inner world, and dissolve emotional barriers.

This is much bigger that solving behavior problems. This is really about soulful partnerships. Animals speak to you all the time, through energy, intuition, behavior, and subtle emotional cues. When you slow down and listen, you discover they’ve been sharing wisdom, comfort, and support all along.

The Secret World of Animals Is Waiting

This week’s episode is a beautiful reminder of the secret world waiting right at your feet, curled up on your couch, napping on your lap, or chirping outside your window.

Your animals may have insights you’ve never imagined and it’s possible they’ve been trying to help you more than you realize. And they may have little pearls of wisdom (or sass!) just waiting for you to hear.

So tune in, get curious, and let the magic of communication with animals open your heart in new ways. Or get a session with an animal communicator like Genie to speak with your pet for you.
