Would you, or someone you know, say that they like animals more than people? If so, this episode is for you. Get ready to be captivated as we dive into the extraordinary connection many of us share with our pets. Join us as we welcome Rachel Augusta, a world-renowned animal medical intuitive, who has been a healer for both beloved animal companions and their owners. We'll touch on Rachel's awe-inspiring journey, as she shares how she defies the odds and helps even those said to have mere hours to live. But it doesn't stop there. The focus of our episode is exploring the profound emotional impact of losing a pet, as we uncloak the grief that often goes unnoticed and unacknowledged. And the challenges of explaining a relationship that isn't easy to define and devastating to lose. Prepare to be moved, inspired, and educated on the heartfelt connections we form with our animal companions that can rival any human relationship. This is an important conversation about how to deal with the loss, and support those we love as they cope with the loss of a treasured pet who is truly a member of their family.

There was so much to share that this was extended into 2 episodes. Tune in next week as we continue this important conversation.

Rachel Augusta is a celebrity animal medical intuitive who helps pets internationally heal physically and emotionally by performing energetic surgery on injured, diseased, and aging animals. She's been called upon by Hollywood's biggest stars and MMA Fighters for their own health and the wellbeing of their animals, and she's been featured in The New York Times, CNN, BBC and was the subject of a feature cover story for People Magazine.

Rachel has brought pets back to life after being given mere hours to live, and many of them are still thriving today.

In addition to helping animals live their best lives, she helps those in hospice and their families by performing end-of-life ceremonies and officiating memorial services where people can honor their furry best friends in a comforting and sacred way. Grief is one of her favorite topics because so many are forced to isolate and suffer alone.

Rachel is also a sought-after inspirational speaker and has taught classes worldwide supporting animal lovers in their pet's health and wellness so that they move from reactionary health care to preventative. Her motto is to trust the diagnosis, not the prognosis.

Rachel has an app for people who live with or rescue animals called, EmPAWer; the app teaches free classes on everything a vet won't teach you, from separation anxiety, how to use CBD effectively, navigating cancer and what you should be doing at home, how to prep for natural disasters, grief, trauma, and behavioral issues, it also provides medicinal meditations for you to listen to with your animals to bring health and relaxation into the home. It even has free meditations for people navigating grief.

The EmPAWer app is free and available on all platforms.
