In Episode 23 of Transitions of Hope, Maryann Roefaro welcomes animal communicator Janet Ridgeway for a fascinating and heartfelt conversation about intuition, telepathy, healing, and the deep spiritual bond between humans and animals.

Janet shares how her ability to communicate with animals began in childhood, long before she realized that what felt natural to her was something many people could not yet understand. From squirrels walking her to school to decades of professional work with pets, rescue groups, shelters, veterinarians, and animal lovers around the world, Janet offers remarkable insight into how animals think, feel, heal, and communicate far beyond words.

Together, Maryann and Janet explore how animals respond first and foremost to our energy, our thoughts, and the truth of what we are feeling beneath what we say. They discuss how pets often reflect or absorb the emotional patterns of the people they live with, how animals can help bring healing and awareness to a household, and why learning to communicate with them can open us to a much larger understanding of intuition, reincarnation, and the unseen spiritual world.

Janet also speaks beautifully about animal souls, past lives, telepathic connection, and the many ways our beloved pets continue to guide us, even after they have crossed over. Throughout the conversation, she reminds listeners that animal communication is not an extraordinary gift for only a few, but a natural ability that can be developed through meditation, trust, practice, and a willingness to truly listen.
