What books shaped the animal communicators we are today? In this episode, Julie, Karen, and Meredith take a warm and wonderfully nostalgic trip down memory lane, sharing the childhood and young adult books that, looking back, quietly set them on the path to the work they do now. Together, they invite you to look back at the books that found you as a child because they may have been pointing you somewhere all along.
