If you’ve ever had to say goodbye to a beloved pet, this conversation will speak to your soul.
We’re joined by Gale Wilkinson—animal communicator, dog rescuer, and now author of a powerful new book that chronicles her journey through losing her beloved dog Samson, discovering her spiritual gifts, and using that pain to help others heal.
Her new book, Samson’s Story: A Tale of Pet Loss Grief, Love, Hope, and Magic, isn’t just a guide through grief—it’s a lifeline. Robyn can attest to that because she used it after she lost her own beloved dog, Eddie. Every page is infused with wisdom, vulnerability, and the reminder that love never dies—it just changes form. Samson is still guiding her... and possibly helping her find him again in this lifetime.
We’re talking about pet grief, animal communication, reincarnation, and what it really means to stay connected to our furry family—even after they cross over. Plus: synchronicities that will blow your mind, and Gale’s mission to rescue dogs in need through her nonprofit, Gale Loves Dogs.
Get ready to cry, laugh, and believe in a little bit of magic.
In this episode:
- The signs that led Gale to Samson (including some mind-blowing name synchronicities!).
- Why pet grief can hit even harder than human loss — and why that’s valid.
- How Gale unlocked her intuitive gifts
- What animal communication really is — and how you can stay connected to your pet, even after they’ve crossed over
- How Gale's book can help you navigate pet grief
- Gale’s powerful mission to rescue dogs through her nonprofit
