Dr. Linda Bender, an internationally renowned animal advocate, speaker, and author joins Counselor Mandy for this episode of Finding Hope. From a young age Dr. Bender had the super-power of communicating with animals and knew she HAD to help them. She felt the grief from the ignorance and cruelty to animals by humans, and has made it her life’s work to advocate for them. The wisdom she has learned from animals is having unconditional love, joy, and peace, as well as how they teach us about death and moving on.

Dr. Linda Bender holds a doctorate degree in veterinary medicine, is a gifted healer, intuitive, and spiritual teacher. She is an internationally renowned animal advocate, speaker, and author of the award winning Amazon best-seller Animal Wisdom: Learning from the Spiritual Lives of Animals. Her work has been endorsed by Dr. Jane Goodall, Dr. Rupert Sheldrake, Deepak Chopra,and many more.

During the 14 years she spent living in Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East, her work included the rescue, rehabilitation, and protection of wildlife. This work deepened her passion to be a strong voice for the voiceless in the world. Her interest in spirituality led her to study many of the world’s wisdom and healing traditions, she is a certified teacher of meditation, Ayurveda and energy medicine. She is the co-founder of From the Heart, a non-profit charity that directly serves animals and their habitats.
