In this time of turmoil, this term of divisive behavior, there are those out there who would like to separate us from one another; Greg decided that Inner Journey needed to do something.  The ONLY way to win a battle is to engage, so instead we have this program to remind, to foster, to shift the focus back to what is important, the only thing important, LOVE and FAMILY.  We are all family and as Marianne Williamson once brilliantly expressed, "Everything on this planet is either LOVE or a call for LOVE".  This program and this podcast is driven by you the listeners and your courage to intimately share your stories of love, of family and it is a beautiful glimpse behind the curtain and back to what is important because everything else is just an illusion, LOVE and Family

Inner Journey with Greg Friedman welcomes Georgia Wyss.  She is a filmmaker but that isn’t who she really is Georgia uses the medium of film to educate and illuminate, she is a storyteller and similarly to what we do here on Inner Journey her stories helps people see a perspective or a point of view that we may not have previously been exposed to and her latest film, “Mantra, Sounds into Silence” is a beautiful example of one human illuminating a path.

Our guest this evening has been on Inner Journey before Tina Erwin is a retired US Navy Commander; has had a twenty year career in the Navy; working for the Submarine Force, and she retired at the level of Commander, I say all of that to let you know she ain’t no way out there weirdo, but what she is, is a psychic that helps us to understand how and why souls may become ghosts, what that ‘ghostly’ state looks and feels like to them and how you can help them cross over into the Heaven World. Laura Van Tyne started out as a ‘normal’ person. She was an educator, with a Master’s Degree in Education, working as a schoolteacher in the San Diego School system.
