How do you know when it’s time to check in with the animal family? Some folx do regular check-ins while others work with me on an as-needed basis.
What about you? What kind of yardstick do you use?
The seasonal change is a good reminder for a check in. With the Summer/Winter Soltice coming up, why not use that as a cue to do a check-in with the animal family?
Regular check-ins keep you and the animals on top of what’s happening in the family dynamics, ensuring everyone has an up-to-date understanding of each others’ wants and needs. With all being on the same page, regardless of the number of legs, is a good thing, resulting in a more harmonious home for all!
These check-in sessions can look like helping you and the animal family navigate big life changes, a simple ‘what’s up?’, or it can even be focused on creating or monitoring a plan for your true kinship journey with animals.

“I appreciated my one on one call with Janet and how she challenged me to change my perspective towards my cat and my human centered thinking. I feel her words have rooted in me and helped me [with] how I engage with my cat, which has helped us both find more ease with each other. Thanks Janet!”

Support the free teachings
Every week you find my free teachings teachings on the site, the podcast, in this newsletter and on social media. These are free because I want to nurture the practice of community and collaboration as best I can in a society that values power-over, competition and individualism.
I honor the integrity and wisdom of the teachings as well as the time I have spent learning, tending and passing them forward. I ask if you are in a position to pay for them that you do so in a reciprocal exchange of energy. Thank you!
Thank you for being a part of the true kinship with animals community!
About me…..
I am an animist, podcaster, intuitive practitioner and mentor identifying as she/they and respectfully acknowledge I am supported and sustained on the traditional and ancestral territory of the Séliš (Salish) and QÌispé (upper Kalispel or Pend d’Oreille) People who have stewarded this land throughout the generations.
As a practitioner of true kinship with animals, I pledge to recognize the descendants and practices of the original Peoples, Lands and Animals. I will not knowingly appropriate their wisdom, nor will I knowingly speak over their voices. When I have participated in colonialism practices, I will be accountable by publicly acknowledging the harmful practice, apologizing, and doing the needed reflection and self work to do better in the future.
For 30+ years I have facilitated clear conversations between animals and people. In my work I encourage people to recreate a bond with animals by disengaging from colonized approaches and relating in true kinship.
I am cheerfully owned and managed by a multitude of angel animals and several houseplants.
