A Channelled Message from Anie

This week for A Perspective for the Collective, we hear a message from a mare named Anie.

She shares wisdom about how the decisions we make today shape who we are and who we are becoming. The choices we make are what form us, and being intentional with them is, in essence, being intentional with our becoming.

Anie offers a gentle invitation to pause and choose with awareness. She shares three simple questions to ask yourself when faced with a decision, and encourages you to stay open, so that the path forward can begin to illuminate itself.

With grounded yet compassionate energy, Anie guides us to reflect on the life we want to live and the choices that will carry us there.

Thank you to for volunteering Anie to share with us all!

We would love to hear how this message landed for you today.

It’s finally here… my 4-week Animal Intuitive course is now open for enrollment!

If you've ever felt a quiet knowing, a subtle feeling, or a deep desire to connect with animals more intuitively, but you struggle with the "how" or next steps, you’re not alone.

This program is a guided, foundational journey into the world of animal communication. Over four weeks, I’ll help you strengthen your intuitive abilities, connect with animals on a deeper level, and understand how your own unique intuition works.

We'll explore:
What animal communication is & how it works
The Animal Communication Cycle
How you uniquely receive intuitive information
Guided meditations & practices in each class
Connecting with different animals & species
What to do when you feel “stuck” in the connection

Classes are held live on Zoom each Tuesday from July 22 to August 12 at 2PM PT, and you’ll also be part of a supportive community space for questions, sharing, and connecting.

As part of the course, you'll also have the chance to volunteer one of your own animals for the group to connect with—an experience that is always tender, insightful, and powerful for both the human and the animal.

This is a beautiful space to reconnect with your intuition, learn to listen more deeply, and remember what you already know inside.

The first round of this course is being offered at a reduced beta price of $227.50 CAD (30% off) as I bring this offering online for the very first time.

If you’re curious, I’d love to have you in this first group. Send me a DM 💛

The Acknowledgement of Support

It is easy at times for me to feel that I am alone in all that I hold in my life.

Creating my business.
Stewarding my animals.
Living a distance away from my ‘tribe’ and people.
There are times when I feel alone, without support, and without somewhere to turn to.

It is from that place that I feel frustrated and often resentful of the path and life that I am creating.

But what I have learned from this is that if I am open to noticing, if I am open to receiving, and I step out of my head and my own close-minded experience, support is always right there.

It might not always be in the way that I thought I needed, or what I might have been 'expecting' of those around me, but if I allow myself to notice, support is always right there.

I invite you to notice how support is showing up in your life. How is it showing up subtly, in new ways, and in ways you weren't expecting?

Where can you overcome your resistance to what you thought it should look and feel like, and allow yourself to receive what is right in front of you?

If we open our hearts and see beyond our eyes, we can witness that support is all around us.

A deep appreciation for Jet, who always seems to be 'right there.'

I feel incredibly grateful for these kind words. It’s always an honour to receive such a thoughtful share and to feel the ripple and impact of this work. Transitions and loss are never easy, it was my privilege to bring connection, understanding, and communication to this partnership. 🙏

What Are We Teaching?

I watched someone throw a rock at their horse.

It wasn’t an accident. It wasn’t casual. It was deliberate — a form of "communication." And in that moment, my heart dropped.

I am so fortunate to live and work in a world where I am surrounded by horse people who lead with softness, who prioritize relationship, who strive to listen as much — if not more — than they direct.

And yet… there I was, watching it happen. Witnessing harm under the guise of training and communication.

It’s moments like these that bring me back to reality — that remind me how much work is still ahead. Because while my daily life is filled with examples of advocacy, progress, and deeply respectful horsemanship, the wider world is not always the same.

This week alone, I watched another horse be brought in close by their human, only to be whipped repeatedly on the hind end for “misbehavior.”

And here’s the thing: I don’t know these people. I don’t know what they’ve been taught, what they’re carrying, or what they’re trying to unlearn. I don't know their patterns or if they have people that reflect the disrespect of this behaviour.

But I do know this: pain is not communication. Force is not a partnership.

And I do not believe that any horse feels safe in a relationship where fear is used as a teacher.

We can’t always control what we witness. But we can choose to speak about it. To reflect. To ask more of ourselves and each other.

I’m not here to judge. I’m here to grieve, to witness, and to hope for better.

Because if we want something different for the horses — if we truly want to be in partnership — it starts with how we hold ourselves accountable. Not just in the big ways, but in the quiet, daily choices that show what we believe about connection, about worthiness, about love.

My hope is that every one of us who stewards a horse is brave enough to pause, to reflect, and to ask: Can I do better?

Because I know I can.

With a heavy heart, and a hopeful one too.

The Importance of Our ‘Care Teams’
A couple of times a year, I get my three cats groomed. Each has different needs—nail trims, ear cleaning, a bath and brush, or even a full shave. Many people wonder why I bother grooming cats at all, but for their breeds and coats, it’s an essential part of care.

Chloe, my ragdoll, adores grooming. The attention, the brushing—she even tolerates a bath with ease. Melman, though, is a different story.

He doesn’t enjoy getting groomed, but he appreciates how it helps him stay cool in the hot summers.

When it’s his turn, I always worry.
“Will his needs and boundaries be respected?”
“Will he be okay—or get hurt in the process?”
“Will the groomer be safe?”

I do my best to prepare him, but once he’s in the room, I have to trust. He’s a clear communicator, and he’s used to his boundaries being honored. And still—grooming has to happen. It’s a non-negotiable for him.

We’re so lucky to have an incredible in-home groomer I trust deeply. But even then, I worry.

A few weeks ago, as she groomed Melman, I overheard their exchange from my desk—and it brought the biggest smile to my face:

“You let me know if anything hurts, I trust you.”
“You get comfortable however you want, whatever you need to get comfortable you just do it.”
“We’ve got to do the really tough part, you’ve got this.”
“Good job, Melman!”
After a hiss and swat: “Okay.”

He hissed, snarled, and clearly communicated discomfort—and she met every cue with a calm respect.

She never made him wrong for having an opinion. She adapted, respected his boundaries, and groomed him with the utmost kindness.

This is what a compassionate, respectful care team sounds like.

We shouldn’t accept forcing our animals through things just because someone else is helping or it's a non-negotiable. Their needs and boundaries still matter.

I can’t fully express how grateful I am to have her on our team. The relationships she builds with each of my animals reflect why it’s so important to choose care team members with intention.

Expectations of Our Animals

Where do you hold expectations of your animals?

Maybe they surface in how you expect them to interact—with people, other animals, or new environments. Perhaps you assume they should enjoy being petted, get along with every animal they meet, or remain calm in all situations.

Maybe your expectations show up in daily life—you assume they should behave a certain way, tolerate trips to the groomer or vet without hesitation, or eat whatever food you choose simply because you picked it for them.

Or maybe your expectations are more general—that they should follow all your rules, be endlessly happy, and appreciate all that you do for them.

There are countless examples, but at their core, many of these expectations overlook one key truth: they don’t always allow our animals to have their own opinions.

We all have expectations for our animals, myself included. Some are necessary for coexisting in a domesticated world. But I encourage you to pause and reflect:
🔹 Where do these expectations exist for you?
🔹 Why do you have them?
🔹 Are they fair and realistic?

I invite you to step back and neutrally look at your expectations through your animal’s perspective. How does that shift the way you see them?

And most importantly—which expectations can you let go of?

What does it mean to have a respectful relationship with our horse partners?

This is a conversation I was having recently with someone who is on a journey of changing the way they partner with horses. What struck me was how, for them, having a respectful relationship meant stepping into connection first, and then becoming curious about respect and boundaries from there.

For me, the conversation begins even earlier — before the interaction, before the physical connection.

For me, it begins the moment we come into each other’s energetic space.

It's not about making them engage with something and then observing their response as information. I believe it's about honouring their responses the moment we come into energetic connection with each other.

It begins with the question, “Do you want to engage in this moment?” — not “Is the way I am engaging with you okay?”

It’s “Do you want to be touched?” — not “Am I petting you in the right spot?”

It’s “What do you want to do together?” — not “I am taking you riding.”

It’s “Are you ready to learn something new?” — not “I want you to learn this.”

Having a respectful conversation and relationship with our horse partners begins at the start of every interaction. It’s not about setting something in motion and then checking if they’re alright with it. By that point, you may have already stepped past a “yes” or missed a “no.”

It’s about asking first. It’s about listening fully. It’s about staying curious and open to their responses, not just pursuing your own agenda or desire.

For many, this is a mindset shift — a constant invitation to slow down, to soften, and come from a place of relationship-building and respect for both you and for them. Its relationship over outcome.

I would love to hear what being in a respectful relationship means to you. 🙏

This is the kind of support and impact I strive to offer in the world. Each session is its own unique experience, yet at the heart of them all, my intention remains the same: to nurture deeper understanding and clearer communication.

I carry deep gratitude for every partnership I have the honour of supporting. ❤️

Grief, Loss, & Transition

These energies are deeply present right now both for humans and for animals.

Many beings are choosing to leave their physical bodies, and many others are grieving.

Lately, more than half of my Animal Communication sessions carry a theme of transition. It's a powerful reflection of what so many are navigating, both personally and collectively

It feels as though we are at a threshold not only as individuals, but as a collective. The frequency of loss, transition, and awakening is stirring something deeper in all of us.

Loss can feel incredibly lonely. It can be overwhelming, disorienting, and deeply uncomfortable.

But amid so many transitions, there is also an invitation—one that invites us to engage with grief and loss in a different and more connected way.

To lean into community, and allow ourselves to be supported in the process.
To support our animals as they prepare to transition, and to do so with reverence and open-heartedness.
To give them a voice. Not just in how they are supported, but in what they have to share with us through their journey.
To honour those who remain, who are grieving in their own ways. There was a time when the idea of animals needing grief support was overlooked, but we know better now.

The energy of grief and loss is undeniable right now.

Many beings are stepping through the veil, choosing to remain on the other side.

And with that, we are invited to meet the process differently—to walk with grief in a meaningful way, for ourselves and for our animal partners.

What does it mean to look grief in the eye and let it wash over us?
What does it mean to honour that our animals also grieve—and need care, both as they transition and as they endure loss?

Grief invites slowness, presence, and sometimes ceremony.

We get to choose how we engage these energies. For ourselves, and for those we steward.

I am deeply honoured to support beings through transitions in many forms. The courage it takes is never lost on me.

In witnessed support, always. 🫶

Honouring the Boundaries of Animals

Recently, I had a conversation with someone who shared that their dog doesn’t always welcome being petted by everyone. My immediate response was, “Of course, he's using discernment, sensing their energy.” To me, this perspective is truth – he shouldn’t have to let everyone into his personal space. Just as we all have our own sense of who feels safe in our personal space.

However, what his human conveyed is that most people don’t read or understand his cues. Leaving him feeling unsettled. He isn't aggressive or reactive; instead, he becomes anxious and withdrawn, which unfortunately prompts people to invade his space even more.

I believe most people have good intentions. But just as many humans aren’t taught about personal boundaries and reading energy in each other, similar conversations aren’t happening about animals.

These discussions are crucial.

When an animal moves away, it’s not an invitation to pursue them. Their preference for no physical contact shouldn’t be taken personally. Our animals are attuned to subtleties, and so can we.

Your animal relies on you to be their advocate and set boundaries. Even if their intentions are good natured, it doesn’t mean the animal will desire that kind of connection.

Many animals invite us to connect simply by being present. However, some people mistakenly believe connection requires physical touch. I’m here to tell you – it doesn’t!

We can approach animals with compassion, love, and the best intentions, yet they may still prefer space. It’s about respecting their moment-to-moment preferences and unique ways of connection.

Have these conversations. Don’t take things personally. And most importantly, let the animal dictate how they engage and connect with us.

There’s no greater way to honour and understand them.
