Have you ever lost a beloved animal and found that the loss changed your life? In this interview, animal communicator Kate Solisti shares how:

• Her early childhood relationship with her cat, Dusty, taught her how to communicate with animals, though the pain of losing him then caused her to shut down her ability.
• The “double-edged sword” of being very sensitive gave her many listening abilities as a child but led to her being told her abilities were not real.
• She re-integrated her intuitive abilities in young adulthood. As she began to make her intuition feel safe again, she started to hear plants’ and animals’ messages. “It felt like I was becoming whole again.”
• We can all learn to communicate with animals: “it’s not magic, it’s just practice….The ability to connect with other species is a birthright….[it is] about learning to trust yourself.”
• Trauma, people telling you it’s your imagination, or the loss of a beloved animal can get in the way. But “we need people to remember. The animals need people to remember. The Earth needs us to remember.”
• The animals in your local area are often the best ones to connect to since you share the same home. Kate sees humanity going forward in making heart connections to our local animals, plants, and natural systems and thus realizing we desire to protect their well-being.
• A message from a surprising wild animal in the forest outside Kate’s home offers a view on how to balance interdependence and independence, and the good of the whole community with the good of the individual.
