[VIDEO] Our Session With a Pet Psychic Was 100% Worth It

The content no one asked for, but you're getting anyway!

Hello, and welcome to a special episode of Is It Worth It?

In this subscriber-only post, I make good on my threat to send the video recording of our session with a pet psychic to hundreds of semi-strangers on the Internet. Thank you to all of you who subscribed specifically for this, and also thank you to those of you who don’t unsubscribe when you see this.

On the surface, “is a session with a pet psychic worth it?” is not an inquiry that falls under my self-proclaimed scope of fitness, health, wellness, and recovery! But I’m sharing anyway because a) it was super fun for me and everyone who “knows” Phoebe, and b) there is a ton of research on how pets can benefit your health:

• In polls, pet owners say that their fur-iends help reduce stress and anxiety, offer companionship, and provide a calming presence

• On average, dog owners walk more minutes per week than non-dog owners, boosting cardiovascular health

• Talking to and petting a dog is associated with lower blood pressure when compared to talking to a human

• Pet ownership can help aging adults manage long‑term diseases like Alzheimer's disease and dementia by decreasing feelings of stress and loneliness

So! Maybe it’s not such a stretch to call this a wellness review after all. As for “was this worth it?”, I can tell you that Nina Luczyszyn (aforementioned pet psychic) nailed a few things about Phoebe’s personality and our lifestyle, and I left feeling more obsessed and in love with my dog than ever. I’ll never know if this session was 100% real or perfectly accurate, but I think this is one instance where a little bit of placebo effect never hurt anyone.

Without further ado, here’s the video session with Nina, psychic to the pets.

Phoebe and I are done. done. DONE. with winter.
