Rescue animals teach us the art of loving ourselves.
Self-love has been a life-long lesson for me.
I grew up in an alcoholic environment. My childhood had it’s good times, but there were also toxic times.
My parents divorced before my teenage years, and other life experiences happened that somehow made me feel unworthy. And throughout my life, the unworthiness would often show up in various forms, before finding my way back to myself.
Here’s how the lack of self-love has manifested in my life and the lives of those I’ve loved:
- Trying to fill the void through food and having an unhealthy weight that leads to disease.
- Alcohol or drug use that only complicates life and keep us from being who we are.
- Toxic relationships and marriages with narissists (I know this well).
- Working or volunteering to the point where the stress level is detrimental to our health.
- And other unealthy mental, physical and emotional manifestations that occur from not loving ourselves.
You are a beautiful soul who has a purpose, and are worthy of living it.
If you’re an empathic animal lover like me, then you’ve probably done your fair share of loving animals unconditionally, and also perhaps wanting to help others as much as possible. But sometimes, our own wants and needs fall through the cracks.
We lose sight of ourselves, and who we are at our core (a beautiful soul that needs our own nurturing). When this happens, we become disconnected with ourselves, and get stuck in patterns.
We lose our way, and our life gets out of balance. This is when we need to love ourselves enough to go deep, get the help we need to get unstuck, and move forward with healing, clarity and purpose.
Animals already carry this wisdom, that we humans can lose sight of. That’s why I incorporate animal wisdom in my work, in addition to intuitive guidance and tools for living a life that’s authentic to who you are.
Because you are a special soul with amazing gifts, that’s here to impact the world in your own unique way.
Ready to reconnect with yourself, love yourself more, and move forward with clarity?
Or Call/Text (480) 688-3924 and let’s talk about the support you need.
I’m Kathleen Carroll Mason—life guide, animal intuitive, and creator of The Animal Empath Journal.
For years I’ve helped sensitive, intuitive people reconnect with themselves through the love, wisdom, and guidance of animals.
Whether you’re seeking comfort after the loss of an animal, longing to deepen your intuitive connection, or searching for clarity during a season of change, my hope is that you’ll leave every interaction feeling more connected—to your animals, to yourself, and to the path that’s waiting for you.
Because healing doesn’t begin when we have all the answers.
It begins when we remember we were never truly disconnected from ourselves.
This is what that shift can look like in real life—here’s what happened when Jamie followed the guidance she received through our work together.
If you’re ready to reconnect with yourself, discover the wisdom your animals are reflecting, and live with greater love, authenticity, and clarity, I’d love to help.
