Have you ever locked eyes with an animal and sensed a world of emotion behind their gaze? That's precisely the phenomenon Dr. Bradley Nelson, a trailblazer in holistic wellness, delves into during our riveting sit-down. We unravel the stories of emotional healing that transcend species, starting with a horse whose mysterious symptoms paved the way for Dr. Nelson's transformative Emotion Code and Body Code systems, which, as it turns out, are as applicable to our furry and feathered friends as they are to us.
In a world where a chicken's aggressive behavior can be mitigated by addressing their emotional baggage, Dr. Nelson's work pushes us to recognize the profound interconnectedness we share with animals. Our conversation wades through the emotional landscapes of creatures great and small, from companion animals to thoroughbred racehorses, and the ways in which energy healing techniques are rewriting their stories. It's an exploration that beckons us to widen our circle of empathy, acknowledging the emotional depth and inherited traumas that span the animal kingdom and the impact this understanding has on elevating global consciousness.
We discuss how the power of intention, love, and gratitude can reach across the quantum field to heal, regardless of distance. By tapping into the subconsciousâthe binary computer withinâwe uncover how muscle testing can guide us to the silent whispers of wisdom lying beneath our conscious thoughts.

In this episode, we speak with animal communicator Liz Murdoch from Talking With the Dogs! If youâve ever wondered what itâs like to actually communicate with an animal, and how an animal communicator can help with decision making and with the dynamics in your family between the humans and the animals, then this is the episode for you. We talk about all of that, and much more, with Liz as she takes us through story after story about her encounters with the animals. At just the age of 5, Liz realized that she could understand what a dog was thinking! She went on to win awards, as a child and as an adult - in dog training. In fact, she got her first award competing against adults, at the age of 8. Liz is passionate about helping families enhance their relationships with animals and improve their communication skills so that families, with their companion animals, can live in greater harmony throughout all stages of life. She has helped professionals like veterinarians, animal rescue and foster organizations, and sheâs done work in animal assisted therapy as well.
In this episode, we talk about how she receives incredibly specific information from the animals, including things about their health and well-being. Liz feels, hears, sees and knows things when she is talking to them, and feels that others who tune into their intuitive gifts can do so as well. We talk to her about end of life communication and decision making, and how communicating with the animal can help navigate through the complex emotions that arise when we say goodbye to our loved ones. Liz also shares how she helps dogs make "bucket lists" and helps their humans understand what they want before they leave the physical world.
All that and more in this episode with Liz Murdoch!
