Cathryn Michon is a filmmaker, actor, animal advocate, and she joins us to talk about her latest book, “I'm Still Here: A Dog's Purpose Forever.” So many of us are dog lovers. After all, they are our family. Did you ever wonder why dogs don't live longer? Cathryn addresses that and so much more in her national bestseller. “I'm Still Here” is told from the point of view of an angel dog, or a dog who has passed, revealing to those who loved him that he's in a safe place, and he's watching over his human family. It's a beautiful portrayal of the tenderness and bond that animals share with each of us. Cathryn has had an incredible career, and is the only woman screenwriter in America who had two feature films in world release in 2019, “A Dog's Way Home,” and “A Dog's Journey,” the sequel to “A Dog's Purpose,” all told from a dog's point of view. Cathryn's writing credits include “South Park,” “Designing Women,” and others. She's performed at Chicago's Second City and appeared both on TV and off-broadway. Well ask her about that, and when her love of animals began. Oh, and we'll talk about her husband too, author Williams Bruce Cameron, whose book, “A Dog's Purpose,” spent 52-weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. Please join our show, #DeborahKobyltLIVE on all video and audio podcast platforms, and invite your friends, too.

In this episode, Stacy speaks with individual animal rescuer and advocate, Nancy Robison.

She also works closely with caregiver and rescuer, Cathy Moore, in upstate New York to provide as much help as she possibly can. Stacy and Nancy talk about the role of individuals in animal rescue, and stepping up when something needs to be done. They talk about compassion, and how it impacts our approach to animals and people with unique needs and challenges. A teacher for 35 years, Nancy strongly believes in the importance of teaching children compassion for animals. She and Stacy talk about the children's books she has authored, which were inspired by the bedtime stories her own mother used to tell about her childhood cat, Stubbs.

Grey Owl was a fur trapper whose heart turned to compassion after he killed a beaver and heard the cries of its young from the bushes. The cries of the two young beavers moved Grey Owl enough to bring them home to his cabin and to raise them as his own. After this incident, he became an advocate for conservation, writing and traveling as an Indigenous person to raise awareness. It wasn't until his death that his true identity would come to light and the Grey Owl facade would crumble. Tune in for the rest of the story! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey_Owl

G. Scott Graham is an author, a career coach, and a business coach in Boston, Massachusetts. Scott is driven to help clients follow their “true azimuth,” which is different from “true north.” It means coaching clients to identify the true focus of their life — something that speaks individually to them. It means recognizing the forces that push our lives off course and adjusting to them so you get where you want to go. It means that when you are 90 years old and you look back on your life you have a sense of pride, accomplishment, and meaning — with no regrets.

Full recording of the townhall I hosted with Rep Art Fierro on August 1st. Full disclosure, the microphone we were using was a bit spotty, and some people opted to remain in place and not come up to the mic. Definitely need to invest in a wireless mic for folks to use in the future. You're not getting anything but the townhall this episode (okay a quick 2 minute update on what to expect from the next couple of episodes from the top)My reflections and ideas on moving forward will come in the next episode, along with the council meeting recaps.

Jon taught guitar lessons — including to, once upon a mid/late 90s time, yours truly — while finishing his liberal arts degree. Not long after graduation, his passion for animal rights drew him to leave teaching music for advocacy, and he's worked full-time in the field ever since. In his first 10 years of advocacy work, Jon played guitar and wrote tunes on the side, telling himself one day he'd take music more seriously. Then in 2012, a severe case of Lyme disease landed him in the ICU for over a week. After that reminder of life's finite nature, Jon's priorities shifted. He incorporated playing and writing music into his daily routine, booked time in a studio, and released his first album in 2014. Since then he's toured across the US, released three more albums, and made music a non-negotiable part of life. All while still devoting his 9-to-5 life to improving the treatment of animals. Today, Jon's been kind enough to walk us through the logistics and rewards of balancing a significant creative pursuit with a cause you love. And yes, there are plenty of sacrifices along the way. But in Jon's experience, those concessions are a small price to pay for passion in your work and your art.Resources mentioned“How to be a Musician with a Day Job” and “How to Balance Full-time Work with Creative Projects” by Jeffery SilversteinWhere to find Jon, his music, and his advocacy workJon on BandcampJon on SpotifyJon the Musician on Instagram and TwitterJon the Animal Advocate on TwitterThe Humane LeagueJon's induction into the Animal Rights Hall of Fame Check out more from The Work SeminarVisit theworkseminar.com or find @TheWorkSeminar on social media. Sign up for The Work Seminar newsletter to receive updates straight to your inbox.Support the show

Melissa Bacelar is an accomplished Film Actress, Animal Advocate and Pet Psychic. She is often asked how she made the transition from the cover of Men's Magazines to picking up dog poop. This is just part of her charm. Melissa has always been an animal lover and a psychic fanatic. She never thought she would actually be a pet psychic even though she was told by three different credible psychics from 2008-2009 that she was one and it would play a significant role in her life down the line. This is where her journey begins. In early 2009 she had the wool pulled over her eyes when she was booked on a paranormal radio show as a horror actress. While waiting to go on she heard the host call her a pet psychic. The first thought was to hang up, but she couldn't. She explained to the host that she was not a psychic but the host didn't hear her and immediately had the first caller start asking questions. Melissa thought about how all of her psychic friends explained how they tuned in and she tried to do the same thing. She wasn't sure if it was working, but caller after caller came on and Melissa was extremely accurate in her readings. Clear pictures and images came in from the animal and she knew what they looked like, she felt what they felt and knew what they were thinking. This began her journey into the psychic, paranormal and beyond*** AND NOW ***The ‘X' Zone TV Channel on SimulTV - www.simultv.comThe ‘X' Zone TV Channel Radio Feed (Free - No Subscription Required) - https://www.spreaker.com/show/xztv-the-x-zone-tv-show-audio The ‘X' Chronicles Newspaper - www.xchroniclesnewspaper.com (Free)To contact Rob McConnell - misterx@xzoneradiotv.com

Connecting with animals and animal readings, with guest Amanda De Warren “They (animals) are incredibly intelligent, they just try to make our lives better.” ----more---- Today's show was sponsored by The Rah Rah Spirit Team Building a business can be overwhelming but it doesn't have to be. Through on-going training, online workshops and monthly guest experts, the Spirit Team membership is a supportive community where entrepreneurs encourage and support each other while learning and becoming the best they can be. Check it out here:  https://rahrahconsulting.com/spirit-team/   Meet Amanda Introducing AMANDA DE WARREN – one of Australia's foremost PSYCHIC MEDIUMS, leading ANIMAL COMMUNICATOR, and writer of the weekly column, “The Animal Whisperer”, in the Australian WOMAN'S DAY magazine nearly six years and counting. Amanda's friendly and natural personality and her ability to relate to people from all walks of life make her a very appealing guest on TV and RADIO shows. A media professional, she intrigues viewers and listeners, even if they're skeptics. And they won't be skeptics for long!  Amanda makes PSYCHIC CONNECTIONS to both PEOPLE and ANIMALS that have passed over, and is also one of the few people who can also communicate with ANIMALS that are ALIVE. It's her amazingly accurate readings of readers' animals in her Animal Whisperer column that she's become known and loved for to thousands of readers. She identifies BEHAVIOURAL AND HEALTH ISSUES and gives advice about how to improve people's RELATIONSHIPS with their PETS. What makes Amanda's insights all the more amazing is that she does most of her readings over the PHONE – distance is no barrier, and she doesn't even need to see a photo of the animal. Amanda also requests that she be given NO PRIOR INFORMATION about the person or animal. Amanda is a fierce ANIMAL ADVOCATE and has POACHERS and HUNTERS in her sights. It's her goal in 2020 to take on these lowlifes who commit atrocities on animals, including endangered species, and to help raise awareness and make a difference. She's also planning a trip to visit the endangered orang-utans of Borneo. She wants to be the voice for all animals. You don't want to mess with her!  Amanda was recently a big hit on Network 10's Trial By Kyle, helping out with an estranged couple's custody battle over who should have their dog. Amanda gave her advice after hearing straight from the pooch's own thoughts! She's also appeared on TV SHOWS such as The Project, Mornings With Kerri-Anne Kennerley, Today Tonight and A Current Affair, doing live psychic readings of both people and animals.  She's featured in numerous MAGAZINES and NEWSPAPER articles including a two-page spread in Queensland's Sunday Mail. She also loves to go on RADIO and has twice shared the airwaves with Jacki O and Kyle, as well as Rove McManus. Recently, Amanda has absolutely nailed her psychic animal communications as a popular guest on 2DayFM with Grant Denyer, Ed Kavalee and Ash London. After her astonishing debut, she was immediately asked back. Amanda's fascinating life story is told in her popular AUTOBIOGRAPHY, Amanda De Warren: My Journey Behind Blue Eyes, and she's currently working on three new books. She now has over 10,000 Facebook followers who she's entertained with stories about her very naughty and huge dog Rommy, and ginger tabby, Russell, who caused havoc together in her home. Sadly, Rommy passed away in early 2020 but no doubt Amanda will eventually welcome another special canine companion into her life.  Amanda first realised she had a special connection to animals while working with the legendary ‘crocodile hunter' STEVE IRWIN and his wife Terri at the Queensland Reptile Park, before it became Australia Zoo. Steve trained her and from there it all took off. Another area Amanda is having great success with recently is her psychic HEALING. Clients have reported stunning results (for themselves or their pets), with improvements in health and long-term pain greatly lessening after some sessions with Amanda. Once again, this is usually done by phone.
