Karen Wickerson on Understanding Your Animal’s Inner World

Spending time with Karen Wickerson feels like opening a quiet doorway into the wisdom of the animals who walk beside us. Karen is an animal telepath, a former clinical counselor, and the author of Listen to Your Animals: They Know More Than You Think. Her connection to animals began when she was three years old and realized she could communicate with them. As she grew older, she learned to silence that gift because the people around her didn’t understand it, until her soul eventually pulled her back toward the work she was meant to do.

Karen shares how she reached a point in her counseling career where she knew she was “about to hit the wall” and feared she might make a severe mistake with a family. That moment pushed her to plan her exit and step toward a life that aligned with her true calling. It led her to a trek to Mount Everest base camp with asthma and only 70 percent lung capacity, a journey that taught her the power of moving forward even half an inch at a time.

We explore how she connects with animals across distance, how she reads their unique energy signatures, and what she has learned about their emotional worlds. Karen describes what really happens when animals cross over and how they often explain it as simply taking off a coat they no longer need. She also shares stories about grief, soul agreements, and the ways animals guide their humans through important life decisions.

Karen’s work is a reminder that our animals are not just pets. They are teachers, companions, and wise, sentient beings who understand far more than we often realize.

Key Reflections

• Animals communicate through energy, emotion and intention.
• Our relationships with them are true partnerships that often stretch across lifetimes.
• When an animal passes, its essence remains connected to us.
• The choices we make at the end of their life are guided and never wrong.
