Podcast
Let's Have A Chat!
Hosted by Nicole Birkholzer · EN
Your dog has separation anxiety. Whines, and cries every time you pick up your keys.
Your new cat is fighting with your older cat, and one of them is not using the litter box.
Your horse is shying at the mounting block when she used to stand like a statue.
Living with animals enriches our lives in so many ways, yet when they are confused or unwell, their behaviors become our concern.
The truth is, in order to make themselves known, our animals express themselves through quirky, and sometimes undesired behaviors. When their communications fail to reach us they have to resort to demonstrative behaviors.
When our animals "speak" to us we are given a choice: we can dismiss them as silly and goofy or we can choose to stop… and listen.
By knowing how to listen to your pet, you will solve problems and be shown a world that is nothing short of miraculous.
In this podcast, "Let's have a Chat," you will discover the secret to communicating with animals successfully.
If your animal is your soul-mate, then listen in as Nicole Birkholzer, animal communication expert, author, and storyteller provides you with ideas to have a mindful and meaningful chat with your own animal to resolve quirky and undesired behaviors.

Do you want a flower essence to help your anxiety? Yes? No? See what I mean? Just for all those reasons it is worth learning how to dowse. But let's not forget that you can also learn how to communicate with your animals to solve problems and challenges when you use the pendulum.

#90 A Tibetan Dog On Death + Dying
Jan 10, 202400:13:44Tap to summarizeFive days after the dog's passing, we had a phone call. During the call, the dog helped us understand death and dying in new ways. As we talked about The Tibetan Terrier's transition out of his body back to full consciousness, we wondered how much it had mattered to him that his people were present during the transition. I will share his answer from my notes during that call. I wrote it down verbatim. "This transition one does on one's own. But it is comforting to know the presence of those who carry pure love for one are present." Next, I asked the dog, "So, did you transition from life to pure consciousness?" Before I could even get the full sentence out as a thought, the dog interrupted and corrected me. "We are always life. We are just no longer a-live." Join me for episode #90 to understand more about death, dying, and your one and precious life. Show notes available here: https://www.mindful-connections.com/post/99-a-tibetan-dog-on-death-dying

#88 Friends Along The Way
Dec 27, 202300:14:14Tap to summarizeA year ago today, my life changed. It was the morning after Christmas. Cup of coffee in hand, I looked out the window and saw our three horses standing by a big round bale in the field. I exhaled because that is what I do when I see everyone standing and content. Something seemed weird, though. My light grey mare Shana had one of her hindlegs cocked, meaning she took all the weight off that leg, and from the knee down her leg was muddy brown. Had she stepped into mud, my brain wondered? It was 20 degrees Fahrenheit. The ground was frozen. There were no mud puddles. I threw on a jacket and stepped into my boots. I had to take a closer look. Join me as I learn about the friends we make along the way. Dedicated to my friend along the way.

#87 The Manifestor By Your Side
Dec 20, 202300:17:17Tap to summarizeYour animal can help attract the right people to come into your life. Before we headed into the city, I sat down with Maisie, the Frenchie, and said, "OK, we're heading out. Please help us meet the right people for our purpose and mission." As we headed up the elevator of the apartment building in Tribeca, I noticed a man on my right leaning against the elevator wall. He wore a great leather jacket. Suede, cut like a denim jacket. I looked at him and said, "Love that jacket." Turns out, the sued-cladded gentleman was the man I was meant to meet. Listen and learn how your animals can manifest for you.

#86 Collaboration Matters
Dec 7, 202300:17:36Tap to summarizeAs a relationship coach for animals and their people, I am about improving or fine-tuning your relationship with your animal. If you have communication issues, I can help. If you want to know what your animal thinks, I can help. If your animal is sick, lame, or despondent, I can help determine what is happening and provide a prescription or plan. Now, the stakes are usually higher when the animal is a horse. Most horses live on borrowed time. You might wonder what that means … well, horses; unlike cats, dogs, birds, and turtles, horses are often a commodity. Horses get traded up or down. Horses are moneymakers or ribbon winners. Horses need to perform in a certain way to earn their keep. Not all, but many. Do you see how that raises the stakes? Ok, it's time to push play on this episode to jump with me into the story. Show notes available here: https://www.mindful-connections.com/post/collaboration-matters

#85 Ask For What You Need
Dec 1, 202300:16:32Tap to summarizeThere is no need to wait another second to tell you another secret to communicating with animals successfully. Ask for what you need. It is so simple and effective … it airs on ridiculous that we don't use it ALL THE TIME! Ask for what you need! When you express what you need, the chances of getting what you need increase tremendously. By verbally asking for what you need, you set a clear intention that the animal can follow. Remember, just thinking it in your head is less clear than saying directly what you need. You have tons of competing thoughts in your mind, and your animal has a hard time deciphering and distinguishing them all. But if you say it out loud, the message is clear. Join me as we explore what's possible when we ask for what you need. Show notes available here:https://www.mindful-connections.com/post/85-ask-for-what-you-need

#84 Can Animals Manifest Their Destiny?
Nov 22, 202300:18:04Tap to summarizeTune in to this episode to see animal manifesters at work. This horse is a master manifester. He shifted the outcome once he knew what he could be destined for. In our phone call, the humans were able to provide him with the big picture and plan of what his life could look like. Animals don't witness themselves; they don't usually see the bird's eye view on their own. But when we explained it, he could see and feel himself in that life and step into it to make it happen.

#83 Mare Power!
Nov 15, 202300:19:54Tap to summarizeMares are incredibly smart, loyal, and good for you if you like a partner with ideas and suggestions. I remember someone referring to Shana, saying, "She is too smart for her own good." To which I said, am I smart enough for her? A mare will always want to teach you something. And mares remind us every day how clever, loyal, and strong they are. A great mirror for us to look at. 🙂There is so much more about mare power in this podcast. You just have to listen!

#82 In-Tune!
Nov 8, 202300:15:54Tap to summarizeThere is one behavioral pattern, a quirky one, that annoyed me about our dog Scout: staring up at my plate the moment I want to dive into dinner. Then, the other night, Scout told me why he behaved that way. You might think it is simply about begging. It isn't. Listen in as Scout helps me get the most out of our relationship and gives you a tip on communicating successfully with your animals.
