In this episode of insPAWed, we sit down with Lin O’Neil-Clark of LinSynergy to share how her soul dog Roo helped reshape her priorities, purpose, and path during one of life’s most challenging seasons.

Like many people during the pandemic, Lin experienced a major shift in both work and life. As return to office expectations grew, Roo was aging and needed more care than ever before. After developing Sundowners, Roo depended on Lin’s presence, support, and companionship during her later years.

Faced with the difficult choice between returning fully to work or being there for Roo, Lin chose her dog.

That decision became a turning point. Roo’s journey helped Lin lean more deeply into her gifts as a Master Reiki Practitioner and Death Doula, guiding her toward work rooted in presence, compassion, energy, and sacred end of life support.

While Roo has since passed, her impact continues through Lin’s life and work today. Merlin now carries forward that love and companionship.

In this conversation with host Cyndie Morgan and co-host Nigel, we discuss the bond between humans and aging pets, navigating difficult life decisions, and how animals can guide us toward our deepest gifts.
