Speaker 1: Now here's a highlight from Coast to Coast AM on
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio and welcome back to Coast to Coast George Nori
Speaker 1: with you. Susanne Allen with us. An intuitive healer and
Speaker 1: medium who began studying mediumship and mysticism and her late teens,
Speaker 1: and she can connect with all life and soul forms,
Speaker 1: including animals at their soul level. She has been communicating
Speaker 1: with animals on a deep soul level since childhood and
Speaker 1: calls what she does soul Speak, a name that came
Speaker 1: to her through meditation. Clients from around the world have
Speaker 1: benefited by her work, and she communicates messages about clients
Speaker 1: loved ones and pets present and past, and the information
Speaker 1: she provides assightful and transformative. And later on when we
Speaker 1: take calls, she will talk about your pet too, but
Speaker 1: we'll tell you what she needs from you. Susan, Welcome
Speaker 1: to the program, first time for you. I understand, yes, George,
Speaker 1: it's so exciting. Thank you so much for having me.
Speaker 1: How did this all happen? When you were a little girl,
Speaker 1: I just remember my first little cat that came up
Speaker 1: to me in the garden and it just was an
Speaker 1: immediate connection, and I knew that this was something so
Speaker 1: special for me, and it was. It ended up being
Speaker 1: like that. You know, we lived in Brooklyn. You know,
Speaker 1: we weren't a real big animal family of though we
Speaker 1: had we had dogs. You know, we had a dog
Speaker 1: at a time. And I just remember my dad just
Speaker 1: intuitively new to take me to animals when i'd be
Speaker 1: upset or you know, crying, or when I was super young.
Speaker 1: He'd always somehow find animals to get me to and
Speaker 1: it just became like a healing force for me. And
Speaker 1: I just always I just always had this connection. So
Speaker 1: when you look at an animal in its eyes, do
Speaker 1: you know what it's thinking. I do. I asked for permission,
Speaker 1: like I have an honor for my pets and animals,
Speaker 1: And that's kind of how I started. I would just
Speaker 1: send a lot of love, because love is the most
Speaker 1: healing force in the world. It's love. And I would
Speaker 1: just look in that cat's eyes or dog's eyes or
Speaker 1: horses eyes, and generally I always did it with a photo,
Speaker 1: and I would just send a lot of love and
Speaker 1: tell it, how one tell this pet how wonderful it was,
Speaker 1: and would it want to talk to me? And then
Speaker 1: it would just open up and the floodgates would sort
Speaker 1: of open, and I journaled every single one of my readings,
Speaker 1: I think for the first ten years. And I bet
Speaker 1: when you were a little girl, you didn't think there
Speaker 1: was anything supernatural about this at all, did you? Absolutely not? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it felt normal, mommy. How Confido can hear me? Right?
Speaker 1: I think kind of? Yeah. I think my mother always
Speaker 1: thought I was a bit odd, but it ended up,
Speaker 1: you know, later in life, I realized that this is
Speaker 1: how I feel the most natural, not all those jobs
Speaker 1: that I had or career paths that I went down.
Speaker 1: You know, this feels like it's really me, and it
Speaker 1: feels the most authentic. And tell us about the healing
Speaker 1: principles of these animals? Well, how does that happen with
Speaker 1: animals when you're with them? Like, for instance, if you
Speaker 1: have a pet in your home and a lot of
Speaker 1: the owners will agree that they're having communication with them
Speaker 1: because they are so the animal balances you. When you know,
Speaker 1: when I do readings, animals come through and say I
Speaker 1: got her through medical school and the person went and
Speaker 1: they so, yeah, my dog was with me while I
Speaker 1: was taking all these deaths. That's right. So the animal
Speaker 1: is there to help you. It's not just that you
Speaker 1: are helping an animal. The animal comes into our lives
Speaker 1: because we travel in soul families. So that animal has
Speaker 1: been with you in another lifetime and they come back
Speaker 1: maybe they were in the other lifetime as a person,
Speaker 1: but they come back as your pet in this lifetime.
Speaker 1: And a lot of owners will even say to me,
Speaker 1: I swear to God, I have had a relationship with
Speaker 1: this cat before. I feel like I knew this cat before.
Speaker 1: So my feeling is is that they're there to help
Speaker 1: us as healers, and it's very, very important to have
Speaker 1: these animals, and it's sad. I feel more. I feel
Speaker 1: more compassion for the person that has to give up
Speaker 1: the animal than the animal, because the animals and the
Speaker 1: shelter feeling sad, thinking, wait, my job wasn't complete. We
Speaker 1: didn't complete our mission here. We didn't I didn't help
Speaker 1: this person heal. On that deep soul level, that's where
Speaker 1: the disconnect is. I think people think I don't have money,
Speaker 1: I have to move or this I have to get
Speaker 1: rid of my pet. But there's a mission for that
Speaker 1: animal and that person. It's a soul connection and it's
Speaker 1: very very deep, and that's that to me is the
Speaker 1: sad part, you know, looking at some of these animals
Speaker 1: on video from these animal societies, these animals that are
Speaker 1: in shelters and holding tanks and stuff, and it really
Speaker 1: they really look sad, don't they. Yeah, And I feel
Speaker 1: the sadness is because more importantly, they come to us
Speaker 1: to help us, and when we give them up because
Speaker 1: of our own stress or whatever we're going through in
Speaker 1: our lives, that we feel the need to let go
Speaker 1: of this beloved animal, and it's crisis time when you
Speaker 1: have to let go of a pet. Most of the time,
Speaker 1: I would feel like I would hope it would feel
Speaker 1: like a crisis to give up your animal. That animal
Speaker 1: the sadness in their face is because their mission with
Speaker 1: the person wasn't done. I had heard a story one day,
Speaker 1: Susan of a family that didn't want their pet and
Speaker 1: rather try to find a home for the animal, they
Speaker 1: put it in a car, drove about a two hundred
Speaker 1: miles away, opened the door and just let it out,
Speaker 1: so there was somewhere near our freeway, two hundred miles
Speaker 1: away from its home. Yeah, I don't know if that
Speaker 1: person is really in their body and a conscious being
Speaker 1: at that point. I don't. I don't know how that
Speaker 1: that disconnects with happened. That's that's quite sad for the person.
Speaker 1: I have to like pray for somebody like that more.
Speaker 1: I mean the animal. The animal will always it will
Speaker 1: always know who it is, and it will suffer. But
Speaker 1: it's not going to suffer as bad as that unconscious
Speaker 1: person that just did this horrible thing. Yeah, it is.
Speaker 1: It's unconscionable. I mean, how difficult is it to try
Speaker 1: to find a family for your animal? Put an ad
Speaker 1: in the newspaper or something for a free pet, for
Speaker 1: loving the family. I keep saying this with the rescue
Speaker 1: that I got two amazing dogs from, you know, I
Speaker 1: adopted rather than shocked, even though I had my special breeds.
Speaker 1: I just said enough, I'm not going to buy a
Speaker 1: dog anymore. I hadn't had a dog in years anyway,
Speaker 1: and I adopted. And it's I've never seen this particular
Speaker 1: rescue so sad because there's just not enough food. I've
Speaker 1: never seen anything like the crisis that we're in today.
Speaker 1: So that's why we have to raise our vibration, raise
Speaker 1: the light. I just I feel like it's the world
Speaker 1: is definitely changing for the good. I think that we're
Speaker 1: going to respect our animals more because of this. It's
Speaker 1: got to come to that at this point, because of
Speaker 1: what you're seeing and what I'm saying, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. So when we take calls next hour, do
Speaker 1: you also talk to the people about animals that have
Speaker 1: passed on or or you do and you need their
Speaker 1: pet name? Yes, I would love their pet name, and
Speaker 1: then they could just give me a brief my cat
Speaker 1: and spirit. I love looking at pictures like that's just
Speaker 1: my love to delve into those eyes and that soul.
Speaker 1: But I could just do this just talking to somebody.
Speaker 1: Some people love cats, some people love dogs. Tell me
Speaker 1: why they have a distinction in a difference that I
Speaker 1: can't explain. I think cats are much more independent and easier,
Speaker 1: and they're very different, and some people think that they're
Speaker 1: so much smarter than dogs. They're very very unique and different.
Speaker 1: They are smart, really smart. Yeah, they're very coy too, yes, exactly.
Speaker 1: And they have sandboxes, which is pretty good. I wish
Speaker 1: dogs had that. Dogs are much more work. But if
Speaker 1: you want to get out and exercise, it's it's kind
Speaker 1: of good to have a dog. But you're right, Susan
Speaker 1: I mean there's nothing like looking at an animal in
Speaker 1: their eyes. Yeah, there's a connection there that is true.
Speaker 1: And I usually have a Golden Retriever and just a
Speaker 1: beautiful breed. But I mean they just know things. They
Speaker 1: know when you're happy, they know when you're sad, and
Speaker 1: they comfort you. They do. What about some of these
Speaker 1: hospitals that have pets there who know if a person
Speaker 1: has cancer or not. And it's most amazing things. They
Speaker 1: know this because they're they're so close to spirit. I mean,
Speaker 1: they're so much closer than us, and that's what they
Speaker 1: could really teach us to just be still and know
Speaker 1: that you're God, you're part of the God. Because they
Speaker 1: know that, they can just sleep and be in their
Speaker 1: sense of who they really are. So they're very, very
Speaker 1: connected to people. I mean, some of these great stories
Speaker 1: in the movies that come out. I cheat Joe, that
Speaker 1: great Akida in Japan that the state at the train
Speaker 1: station and wouldn't leave. I mean, there's amazing stories of
Speaker 1: heroicism with nine to eleven. I mean, I think the
Speaker 1: last heroic dog that was in rescuing people died like
Speaker 1: two years ago. Yeah, and it was a golden I
Speaker 1: think wasn't it. Yeah, I think it was. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think it was a golden and they just you know,
Speaker 1: they go into it not even worried about their own life.
Speaker 1: That's right. They have no fear, that's right, and that's
Speaker 1: what they're here to teach us self. Love, no fear.
Speaker 1: It's going to be okay. And that's where the sadness
Speaker 1: and the disconnect comes when people are leaving their dogs
Speaker 1: at an alarming rate in the shelters. You know, at
Speaker 1: the beginning of COVID, the shelters were completely empty. Nobody
Speaker 1: could adopt the dogs because people were adopting them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and now the shelters are overfilled. They'rel filled again, aren't Yeah.
Speaker 1: What do you think of people who breed dogs but
Speaker 1: do it responsibly? Is that okay? Oh? Of course, yeah.
Speaker 1: I have no judgment. I don't you know. It's like,
Speaker 1: if I'm judging you, I'm judging me. I don't want
Speaker 1: to be judging me. I think there are really irresponsible
Speaker 1: people out there, But the responsible breeders, they really care
Speaker 1: about the succession of that breed and that's the most
Speaker 1: important thing that they or about the ethics of reading.
Speaker 1: Do you have too many dogs? Yes? Do I have
Speaker 1: too many people exactly, Susan allenmedium dot com is your website.
Speaker 1: Tell me about the medium portion of that for you, okay,
Speaker 1: for me. So, you know, this just came about and
Speaker 1: I was doing it on the side and I never
Speaker 1: quit my day job. And then all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: dead people started coming into my readings and it was
Speaker 1: it was gentle and it didn't scare me. And I thought, Hey,
Speaker 1: if this is how they're going to do this, I
Speaker 1: can do this. So a lot of my business is
Speaker 1: you know, personal soul speak. It went from pure animal
Speaker 1: mediumship and pure animal soul speak too, you know, bringing
Speaker 1: in departed loved ones. And it just was a natural.
Speaker 1: It's kind of like Luke when you when you open
Speaker 1: that door. But I wasn't expecting that door to open,
Speaker 1: and it was very subtle. I was talking to this
Speaker 1: woman's hat and the next thing I know, I just
Speaker 1: glanced across my office and it was a picture of
Speaker 1: me and my dad and I was just like glancing,
Speaker 1: you know, like dreaming as I'm talking as a cat,
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, the photo of me and
Speaker 1: my dad changed into her dad, and it just was
Speaker 1: a telepathic thing that I said, oh, that's her dad,
Speaker 1: and I described him and I started to bring her
Speaker 1: messages and she said, yeah, we didn't get to say goodbye,
Speaker 1: and that's exactly what you look like. And it was
Speaker 1: it was so healing for her for me because every
Speaker 1: time I do a reading, it's like another level of
Speaker 1: me gets healed. And I don't I don't look for that,
Speaker 1: but it's just a natural thing that happens. So that's
Speaker 1: why this works phenomenal. How many people Susan who are
Speaker 1: lonely have an animal? Not enough. I think every person
Speaker 1: that's lonely that's seeking somebody outside of themselves start with
Speaker 1: a pet, even a hamster. I used to breed hamsters
Speaker 1: when I was a little kid, and then I would
Speaker 1: sell them to the pet stores. Oh for like a
Speaker 1: dollar a piece or something. Oh wow, you know. I
Speaker 1: was like nine years old doing this. And one day
Speaker 1: I had a litter of little hamsters and they're about
Speaker 1: an inch long, little furry things. And my father used
Speaker 1: to shave in the basement and that's where I kept
Speaker 1: my hamsters in a cage. Well, the wire mesh was
Speaker 1: a little bigger than the little hamster. I hear my
Speaker 1: dad screaming at me I'm about twelve years old at
Speaker 1: that time. George get down here and he's really upset,
Speaker 1: and he stepped on one of these little hamster babies
Speaker 1: and it got stuck on the bottom of his foot.
Speaker 1: Oh he never ever forgot that. Dad's not with us anymore,
Speaker 1: He's with the hamster. But but I will always remember that,
Speaker 1: and I learned my lesson. Make the wire small, yeah,
Speaker 1: so they can't crawl through it, don't We all have
Speaker 1: those stories like that. I used to go to this
Speaker 1: lake with my parents and I'd catch all the frogs
Speaker 1: that I could. I'd love frogs. I love frogs, and
Speaker 1: I brought them home and I'd stick them in the
Speaker 1: bath the bathroom tub that my brother used to use
Speaker 1: upstairs with me. We'd share that bathroom and he'd freak out,
Speaker 1: you're all in there cooking and hopping along because I
Speaker 1: have like twenty five frogs, And then oh, that's great
Speaker 1: in the bathroom he kept these out of here. Did
Speaker 1: you ever raise tadpoles? I did, because when I lived
Speaker 1: in Staten Island, everything was um. It was all like mud,
Speaker 1: and you could just catch him. And the greatest thing
Speaker 1: is to watch a tadpole morph into a frog. Amazing,
Speaker 1: isn't it something? Yeah, just like caterpillars into butterflies. I
Speaker 1: would I would try to save all my caterpillars so
Speaker 1: that birds wouldn't eat them, and I'd bring them in
Speaker 1: and it would be amazing watching these caterpillars turn into butterflies.
Speaker 1: I must have put two hundred frogs in the creek,
Speaker 1: raised from tadpoles. Oh wow, little ones, bullfrogs, all kinds
Speaker 1: of frogs. Amazing. That's amazing. I mean I used to
Speaker 1: love that stuff. I mean, it was just amazing. It's beautiful.
Speaker 1: So how do animals have the healing potential and properties
Speaker 1: about themselves? Well, they're so connected to spirit because they
Speaker 1: don't verbally communicate, they telepathically communicate. So I mean, do
Speaker 1: they know that something's wrong with somebody? Yes, I mean
Speaker 1: even a dog that you're not connected to, but that
Speaker 1: you live with or feed. Because we have two dogs,
Speaker 1: and one I'm extremely connected to and the other one
Speaker 1: is more like my husband's favorite, and I never thought
Speaker 1: that I wouldn't be connected to that one. It's very
Speaker 1: very interesting that a dog will choose its special person
Speaker 1: when I don't feel well or I'm having a bad day.
Speaker 1: That dog will come up to me and put her
Speaker 1: ears back and look in my face and she knows,
Speaker 1: and we have a conversation and she wants to hang
Speaker 1: out with me to help me. So they totally know.
Speaker 1: They totally will follow you around and they want to help. See,
Speaker 1: that's why they're really here. Ultimately, that's why they were
Speaker 1: created to help balance us, to help put us more
Speaker 1: in a meditative state, because the meditation is key to everything.
Speaker 1: The meditation is key to healing, it's key to connecting
Speaker 1: to your pet. And you know, if somebody says I
Speaker 1: can't meditate, Susan, I always say, you know, meditation is
Speaker 1: a practice. It's never going to be perfected. The thing
Speaker 1: is is to just try to meditate, because when you meditate,
Speaker 1: you're not just connecting to something higher than you. You're
Speaker 1: also connecting to your pet. Well, who's doing the healing,
Speaker 1: the individual or the animal. Well, the animal will amplify
Speaker 1: it and to a degree that that you can't do
Speaker 1: it on your own. That's why I love animals so much,
Speaker 1: because they will amplify the healing. They'll teach you who
Speaker 1: you are, they'll teach you how to love yourself. If
Speaker 1: you can't they just teach you, you know, the beauty
Speaker 1: of how they love us. And it's all through the
Speaker 1: power of love that really, really heals us. Listen to
