In this fascinating and heart-led episode, Lisa is joined by Dr Meghan Barrett, a holistic veterinarian and sound therapy practitioner based in Honolulu, Hawaii. Dr Barrett shares her unique approach to animal healing, blending conventional veterinary medicine with holistic modalities and therapeutic music designed specifically for animals.

Dr Barrett discusses her journey from a background in aerial dance and music into holistic veterinary medicine, explaining how a serious neck injury became a catalyst for deeper exploration into whole-body healing. She unpacks the key differences between allopathic (conventional) veterinary care and holistic approaches, highlighting how Western medicine excels in acute situations, while holistic care focuses on long-term wellbeing, chronic conditions, and prevention.

The conversation explores how emotional health and physical health are deeply interconnected for animals, and why addressing both is essential for true healing. Dr Megan shares how she integrates rehabilitation, acupuncture, laser therapy, herbal medicine, and sound therapy into her practice, always slowing down to truly listen to what each animal needs.

A central focus of the episode is the powerful role of music in animal wellbeing. Dr Barrett explains how she creates custom soundscapes and original musical compositions using harp, flute, and ambient textures to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, reduce stress, and support healing. She discusses the importance of understanding animals’ unique hearing ranges, sensitivity to vibration and frequency, and why music for animals must be carefully edited to avoid sudden or overstimulating sounds.

Lisa and Dr Barrett share personal stories of animals responding visibly to music; from softened eyes and slower breathing to deep relaxation and emotional release. They also discuss how familiar music routines can help animals feel safe, particularly during times of anxiety, illness, or transition.

This episode offers a gentle yet insightful invitation to rethink how we care for animals, reminding us that healing can be supported not only through medicine, but through presence, environment, sound, and emotional connection.

In this expansive and heartfelt conversation, Lisa is joined by renowned animal communicator, teacher, and author Sandra Mendelson to explore the deeper layers of animal communication, energy exchange, and intuitive connection between humans and the animal world.

Sandra shares her unexpected journey into animal communication, which began in 2012 while working with horses. Without prior exposure to animal communication teachings, Sandra found herself receiving guidance and messages that led her to develop a direct, authentic way of listening to animals beyond words. This path eventually inspired her books and online classes, created in collaboration with animals themselves, offering humans a new way to connect with the animal kingdom.

Together, Lisa and Sandra discuss how animals communicate as energetic beings, and how human projections, unprocessed trauma, and emotional patterns often influence animal behaviour. Sandra explains how many behavioural issues in companion animals reflect unresolved emotional or physical challenges within their humans, and how healing can occur when those root causes are acknowledged, without blame or judgement.

The conversation expands into powerful observations of collective animal behaviour, including whales gathering across the globe and unusual shark activity near humans. These moments are explored as potential messages of urgency, wisdom, and planetary awareness, reminding us that animals act as channels for universal intelligence rather than isolated messengers.

Lisa and Sandra also share personal stories of intuitive encounters with animals; from horses and dogs to birds, reptiles, and even insects, highlighting how animals offer guidance, protection, humour, and healing when we are willing to listen with all our senses. They discuss the importance of shifting from dominance-based language toward gratitude, respect, and energetic presence when communicating with animals.

This episode invites listeners to reimagine animals not as possessions or problems to be managed, but as conscious co-inhabitants of the planet, offering wisdom, balance, and reflection during a time of global uncertainty.

In this deeply reflective conversation, Lisa is joined by astrologer and intuitive consultant Michelle Wollaston to explore how astrology, personal energy cycles, and human design can offer profound insight into our emotional wellbeing, life purpose, and major life transitions.

Michelle explains how a natal chart acts as a blueprint for understanding your unique energetic makeup, with planetary rulers and astrological houses influencing how you experience life. Together, they discuss the impact of astrological transits, moon phases, and significant milestones such as Saturn returns and Chiron returns, particularly during midlife, when many women are called into deeper reflection, healing, and self-awareness.

The conversation also explores emotional patterns linked to moon phases and zodiac signs, including how Scorpio moon energy can intensify emotions, intuition, and exhaustion—especially for water signs. Michelle shares practical guidance on setting boundaries, reducing external noise, and learning to listen to intuition rather than fear or societal expectations.

Moving beyond astrology alone, Michelle introduces human design and explains how understanding your personal design type, such as generator or projector, can transform how you approach work, relationships, and decision-making. She also shares how she creates personalised "Soul Maps" for clients using birth data, natal charts, and progressed moons to help navigate life purpose, karmic lessons, and current challenges.

The episode widens into an important discussion on women’s empowerment, power imbalances, and the silencing of survivor voices across industries. Lisa and Michelle speak candidly about systemic abuse, the role of fear and complicity, and the importance of education, self-worth, and awareness for future generations. Michelle also shares her work amplifying survivor voices through media and publishing platforms.

This episode is an invitation to slow down, tune inward, and reconnect with your personal rhythm, honouring both the cosmic cycles and the inner wisdom guiding your path.
