Can your deceased pet still communicate with you?
What if your cat is trying to tell you exactly what's bothering them, or your dog who passed away is still sending you signs you're missing? In this episode, Olivia LaBarre, animal communicator and Reiki practitioner, reveals how animals communicate with us—both while living and after they've passed.

About This Episode:
Olivia LaBarre is an animal communicator and Reiki practitioner who nurtures the human-animal bond through life, death, and beyond. She works with both living animals and animals in spirit, helping people understand their companions' needs, navigate grief, and maintain connection after loss. Olivia discovered her abilities in her 30s after Reiki sessions strengthened her intuition, leading her to psychic development and mediumship training. She found animal communication came even more naturally than human mediumship.
In this conversation, we explore:
Verified Animal Communication & Mediumship:
Tinker Bell the cat who sent circus tent images—her guardian had a circus tent tattoo, professional photo sets, and passed them daily going to cancer treatments
A cat in spirit who promised to send another cat to the yard—then a mountain lion appeared, made eye contact, and visited for days
Enzo, the spirited white dog with congestive heart failure who told his grieving family to stop anticipatory mourning and have the best summer together before peacefully transitioning on his 15th gotcha day
How Animal Communication Works:
How Olivia receives messages (visual images, physical sensations, emotions, knowings)
Why animal communication comes more clearly than human mediumship (animals are straightforward, don't hide things)
The difference between communicating with living vs deceased animals (deceased feel expansive and free)
Wild animals vs companion animals: how they communicate differently
How animals communicate through psychic senses (clairsentience, clairvoyance, clairaudience)
Animals, Death & The Afterlife:
Do animals understand death? (Yes, and usually aren't afraid)
How animals teach us how to die
Are deceased pets okay with you getting new animals? (Yes, they often help you find them)

Animals' own psychic abilities (cats especially can see spirits and deceased companions)
Signs from animals in spirit and how to ask for them
Practical Communication & Grief Support:
How to communicate with your own pets (open your heart, talk out loud, let them lead)
Mistakes people make (assuming animals don't understand when we talk)
How animals grieve and how to support them
Tips for grieving our own animals (find people who understand, there's no right way)
How animals help us through grief (they companion us through it)
Reiki for Animals:
What Reiki is and how it works with animals
How it's helped cats with congestive heart failure improve unexpectedly
Using Reiki during end-of-life transitions
The beautiful experience of being energetically connected as animals transition (sparkles, bright colors, feelings of freedom)
Key Quotes
"Animals don't generally tend to lie. They're straightforward. They're not trying to hide all this stuff. I feel like humans are trying to hide away certain parts of things." - Olivia LaBarre
"If the last thing I did was help you understand that you can be sad and happy at the same time, you can hold grief and joy at the same time, and you can keep living your life even if you're sad—then I did my job. That was part of my purpose in your life." - Enzo (via Olivia LaBarre)
"They may not understand every single word we say, but they understand the energy behind it. Keeping that in mind as we're talking about them, talking near them—just talking out loud is a totally reasonable thing to do. They understand way more than you give them credit for." - Olivia LaBarre
