Animal communicator Catherine Hinkle joins me on The Karuna Life Podcast to demystify what it means to be a “pet intuitive.” We talk about the first moment it clicked that animals were responding, what a typical reading looks like (and how to prepare), and how messages come through—images, sensations, words—and the validating details that confirm connection. Catherine shares gentle support for fresh grief and families navigating euthanasia decisions—what often eases guilt and second-guessing, what pets most want their people to know after they’ve crossed, the signs and synchronicities to watch for, and simple rituals (including kid-friendly ones) to honor the bond.

- What pets most want you to know after they’ve crossed
- Gentle guidance around euthanasia decisions and releasing guilt
- Simple rituals + one at-home practice to feel closer to a pet in spirit

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
