Unveiling the Afterlife: June Edward's Insights on Ghosts, Vibrations, and Moving Into the Light
Welcome back to another enlightening episode of the Inner Edison Podcast with your host, Ed Parcaut. In today’s captivating conversation, we are joined by June Edward, a multifaceted relationship expert, author, and medium. June brings a fascinating perspective on the afterlife, discussing how ghosts are caught in a lower vibration while spirits in the light vibrate at a higher frequency, allowing them free movement. She delves into heartfelt stories of helping lost children in the afterlife and explores the reason some souls may fear moving into the light. June doesn't just stop at the afterlife; she also shares her profound insights into the law of attraction, twin flames, and the value of energy balance – knowledge she imparts through her transformative seven-week online course. With personal tales of her near-death experience, supernatural abilities, and the wisdom of reincarnation, June enlightens listeners on how the soul plans its earthly journey. Not only does she provide an understanding of the dimensions we occupy and traverse, but also emphasizes the five core lessons our souls are here to master: self-worth, trust and communication, forgiveness, compassion, and gratitude. This episode further delves into the magical realm of psychic and medium-ship abilities, which June insists we all possess from birth, though they may be obscured by societal conditioning. She likens these gifts to playing an instrument and shares how tapping into this intuition is akin to connecting with one’s soul – a practice vastly under-utilized in our modern lives. Indeed, June's extraordinary life, spiced with challenges and business ventures guided by intuition, offers a testament to the power of inner knowledge. What's more, June’s experience with karma, relationships, and the energetic nature of money brings a grounded approach to these metaphysical topics. As always, Ed Parcaut is here to guide the conversation, digging deep into the wealth of knowledge June brings to the table. For anyone looking to understand energy, raise their vibrations, and utilize the law of attraction more effectively, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

Helicopter Heroes: The Extraordinary Stories of Courage and Resilience in Vietnam
Welcome to another episode of Helping The Brave podcast! In this episode, we are privileged to have the brave and inspirational Larry Freeland as our guest. Larry has a rich background that was heavily influenced by growing up on Air Force bases, particularly Strategic Air Command (SAC) bases. His father, a full colonel specializing in meteorology and Russian history, had interactions with General Lemay, the top figure in SAC. Larry's own military experience comes from serving in Vietnam as a Chinook helicopter pilot with the 101st Airborne. He participated in a challenging operation supporting South Vietnamese troops along Route Nine. However, the operation was cut short due to intense battles with the North Vietnamese Army. Larry witnessed the bravery and sacrifice of his fellow soldiers and has dedicated his writing to honor their legacy. One of Larry's notable works is the book series called "The Air Warrior," which follows three generations of men in an American family who serve in different wars. In the first two books, he explores the aftermath of World War I and the experiences of his protagonist, SIM McCormick, as a pilot in World War II and the Korean War. Larry is currently working on the third book, which will delve into the lives of Sam's three sons. We also discuss the historical context of World War I, specifically the hardships faced by soldiers in the trenches, the long-term health effects they endured, and the social challenges they encountered during the Great Depression. Larry sheds light on the Bonus Army march on Washington and the involvement of World War I veterans in unionization efforts. In addition to his books, Larry wrote a screenplay called "The Flying Pachyderms" and turned it into a successful book titled "Chariots in the Sky." This led to a contract for a trilogy called "The Legacy of Honor." The first book, "The Patriarch," has been well-received, and the second book is set to be released soon, generating positive reviews from Kirkus. Join us as we uncover more captivating stories from Larry's military service, his writing journey, and his family's active military involvement.
