Hey everyone, welcome to this episode of Soul Companions. I'm so excited for you guys to be joining me today. I hope that you guys have enjoyed hearing and learning about my specific pack and how they all came to be. I love them so much and I don't even want to contemplate what it's gonna be like when they transition because they're just amazing and they're so great, and I love having them here. On that note though, I did want to create a little episode about honoring.

The soul journey because I have been working with spirit. I mean, we all are, right? We are all we have a higher self, we all have a spirit in us, whether we realize it or not. I have been communicating telepathically with them and getting images and following their nudges a lot more for eight years. And one of the lessons that has been repeatedly about honoring the soul journey and releasing your expectations and how you feel.

things should be and should go because I think that a lot of times our human expectations for what things should be and should go really create a lot of suffering in our life that if we were more willing and open to releasing would be very beneficial for all of us. And I understand that that's not easy. It's so easy when someone or something dies and people or have no problem being like, well, they were called home. God needed us more or

They had a good life if it's someone that's old, but it's still hard to lose anyone. It doesn't matter if they're a hundred or ten days old, or you know, anywhere in between. But the thing that spirit has been telling me and showing me through different beings and experiences is that not everyone comes here to have a very long life. They all come with different objectives and they have different exit points planned.

And they don't necessarily know in spirit form which exit point is going to be the final exit point because they don't know how things are gonna go when they get down here. So I always look at it as if you're planning anything, okay, you're planning an event and you have every little detail that you can think of organized to the best of your ability. So you have every little detail of this party planned out to a T. Inevitably, you get to the party date and something doesn't go right. The caters couldn't get

This working because this broke down, or the flowers, something happened to that, or the cake didn't quite turn out right, or the person of honor didn't show up, or their loved one couldn't make it because of a plane delay, or something inevitably happens and things don't go according to plan. When you're up there, you have these specific goals and evolutions that you kind of want to make with your soul family that you're coming down with. And

You choose personalities, you choose souls to work with and environments that you feel are going to help you accomplish your evolution. But sometimes souls choose problematic personalities that they even sometimes know are going to be difficult to stay on track, but for whatever reason, they feel that that is what they want because that is what their soul wants for evolution. And it's always easier to plan and to think.

That things are going to be what they're going to be, and then get here and find out that it's not so easy to actually live the experience. So for that reason, they know that they have exit points where they're like, okay, if this isn't going the way I want it to, I want to leave and I want to be able to leave here and here and here and here because I don't want to stay here longer than necessary if I'm going to be incurring unnecessary karma.

Or doing unnecessary damage, or if I deviate too much, I want to be able to leave. Or there are also souls that simply aren't ready for a long life, but they are willing to, for whatever reason, come down and have a short life that they feel is going to be very impactful and create like a ripple across the world to raise up the vibration of the world, to expand the world, to expand those people that knew that person for that short period of time or that being. And I always think of that movie from Jeremy Camp.

It's about his life and about his wife that he lost really young in college and how she always was in love with stars. And she said some stars shine the brightest, or the youngest stars sometimes shine the brightest and they don't last as long. And it makes me think of that because there really truly are these animals and people that come into our lives and they're very young and they are very powerful, but they don't last very long. They transition quickly. And that the people around them.

Get stuck in this loop of, but they were so young. This isn't right. This isn't how the normal course of the world should work. No parent should bury their child and all of those things. And I get that. And I, as an ego person, feel that too. But then, you know, when I get amongst my soul companions and my community of spiritual beings, I understand that that's not.

How it works and holding on to that belief can really cause a lot of pain and suffering in our lives. So I'm trying to be more open-minded about when that happens, but I'm still a human being and it's still really hard to see souls transition sometimes. So it's a work in progress for me. And the only reason I'm bringing it up now is because spirit really wants to drill this lesson home for me. So they have been sending me so many different animals across my social media feed.

that they want me to send love and healing to and they asked me to send love and healing to. And then I get really attached to and lately they've been transitioning. The latest one that I sent some love and healing to was Jackie from the Big Bear Lake Well Geagles. And

It makes me want to cry because I barely knew her. I hadn't followed her for years. I didn't know much about her life, but Spirit asked me to connect with her and censor some love and healing. So I asked her soul, of course. I always asked her souls. And she was open to receiving some love and healing. And I also just connected with Shadow and let his soul know what was happening. And when I connect with beings, with animals or humans, I do ask the angels around me who.

Get in touch with their higher selves and let them know what's going on, what their path is, what their plan is, just so they have a better idea. Cause sometimes when you're in this human form, you get a little confused about what's going on. And I just like to add that little connection to your higher self so that way you don't get as confused. And I don't know what the angels tell them. And I don't know what their higher selves tell them. I don't know what that conversation looks like. I just know that every time I have done that with a healing with anyone.

They have more peace because got reunited with their higher selves, with their higher wisdom, with the angel community. And they have more clarity that they didn't have because their personality gets bogged down with the reality of life. So I did that. And when I found out Jackie died this week, it was heartbreaking because, like so many people, we wanted her to come through. We were rooting for her. She looked so healthy in some of the recent videos. Not

while she was being cared for, but before, when she was still feeding her babies and still taking care of everything at home, that it was really hard to have her go from being that vibrant to not, which is inspiring this episode. Because the theme I have experienced recently is that some of the souls that they have been showing me have been young. Some have been middle aged. I worked with a dog this year that died at the age of eleven. And it's just so hard

Hard sometimes from the human perspective to see these vibrant, beautiful beings pass away. They make their transition, but there's always a greater purpose. And if we can learn to shift our perspective from the my gosh, they're dead, they're gone, they're no longer with us, they had a life ahead of them, to they were a soul that came down and they did the best they could with the time that they had and look for the blessings that were in all of their lives. I think we'll all have a greater life.

Together and we will appreciate the lives that we have while we have them. I know the eleven year old dog that I lost is a personal one for us and it was very hard.

Her story is amazing. I hope I get to share it with you guys soon. But it's kind of like this Jackie thing. It's a little raw and I don't think I could get through it yet. But what I've learned from that, beyond so many things, I could do a whole podcast on what that dog taught me. But the main thing was souls choose when they want to go and for various reasons. And I was so honored and I felt so blessed to be part of her journey because I feel like she.

Got to choose when she went on her terms and she had the best end of life experiences. I'm in awe of her journey. And I know that a lot of people had a lot of different feelings about the care that Jackie received while she was being taken care of. But I think it's so beautiful that when someone saw her struggling in the wilderness, there was an organization willing to come and try to help her and try to give her a longer life.

And I think that's amazing. And that shows the amazing love that we all have for individuals and beings of different kinds. And the soul lessons that are available in that and the love and the compassion and the strength and being able to go on your terms. She was very strong right up until. And I feel like she didn't have to suffer for an extreme large amount of time. I felt like some of those videos that they had to share with us were a little

Disheartening, but in the grand scheme of things, she had an amazing life and she set a great example for everyone. And I think that if we can pivot from focusing on the devastation of the loss to the blessings that we were all bestowed in whatever length of time we were part of her life, that it will be great. I'm not saying to not feel your grief, because that's never something I would say. Regardless of the animal or person, even in your life that

Has transitioned, there's always gonna be this absence of love because you feel like they're gone. And they are in a certain way. They're still with you in the energetic form, but you can't look at them, you can't pet them, you can't seem smile the way that they used to. And regardless, there is a change in your relationship. And whenever that happens, there is gonna be grief. And I don't want too spiritual bypassing. I want you to feel your grief, but I also want you to think in moments of deep grief.

to allow in the happy memories as well, because that's what helps bring them into your life still, are those happy energies. If you get too far in your grief and too swallowed in those heavy emotions, it is harder for them to reach you.

And I know that Jackie is trying to reach so many people that loved her and sends so many different signs. And if you follow their feed, it sounds like there's been amazing things that have happened since she's left. And I'm really hopeful for the future of the eagles there. And I hope that Shadow finds his new love and I hope that he stays around. And it looks like there's a great potential for that. And I think there's even been really cool signs from Jackie that maybe she blesses this union. I just wanted to come on and share that perspective with you all because I know there's a lot of people.

And mourning over this loss. It's been a lesson that Spirit has drilled into me this summer about respecting the soul journey, respecting when a soul decides to leave, honoring it, grieving as is, but remembering the blessings and focusing on those blessings and sharing their story and sharing how they inspired you. That's how the world changes for the better. I have seen some pretty amazing souls on my social media feeds because Spirit keeps showing me these amazing souls. And

I've seen so much amazing love through strangers. I've had love for these animals that I have only known for a couple of months. And there's people that have been following them for so many years. And it's not just eagles. I've been seeing cows. I've been seeing tigers. I've been seeing a whole bunch of it's so cool to me how there's similar stories amongst different beings. And they still share that same common thread of how they inspire us. They bring us.

joy and happiness and they share so many great lessons with us and they leave a lasting impact that makes those that knew them better for having met them. And isn't that why we come here for soul evolution, for evolution and on a grand scale and for making a positive impact in the lives of those that we know. So let's honor that when they choose to transition, let's honor that in their lives. And I hope that any of you who are also going through some grief as I have, I hope that's

Tomorrow you can smile, or even today, that you can smile at a happy memory that you had with that being and send them a little mental thank you and a little love and light. And I'm sure at some point they will be sending it back to you, whether you receive it right away in the moment or you will later. I'm so excited to continue this podcast with you. And I really hope that this just helps you see grief and loss and soul transitions in a new light. I can't wait to speak with you guys again soon. I send you all my love and

We'll talk again soon. Thank you.
