[Content Warning]: Child sexual abuseToday Dave Markel, friend of the podcast and host of the S.A.S.S. (Sexual Assault Survivor Stories) podcast, is hosting a round table featureing three male survivors of childhood sexual abuse; David Weeks, Lee Cooper, and Robert Marshall. Each was affected in their own ways, but today in part two of this episode, they come together to discuss the differences they've seen between all male survivor groups compared to mixed groups or what they've heard from all female groups. They express the need for male voices to be more forward in this field of healing, not to detract from any female support in the world, but since men are less likely to report or disclose those who are able to speak out are vital to raising awareness. They also converse on the mixed signals a man has to sift through in order to have security in their sexuality. Lee Cooper addresses his shift from wanting to heal to wanting to speak out and take his perpetrator to court. In closing; Robert calls for those who have survived these abuses who find that telling their story isn't enough to take up advocacy, David stresses that we need to educate youth in psychology to better protect them from predators, and Lee emphasizes the need for core changes in the judicial systems so that predators are not favored.If you or your business could use Dave's consulting services visit his website at: www.markel-consulting.comBe sure to check out Dave Markel's podcast S.A.S.S.:https://sexassaultsurvivorstories.libsyn.com/Check Out David On Insta: Djweeks_Check Out Lee's Photography:PlacesNowhere.comInsta: coopscwCheck Out What Robert Is Up To:Insta: roberthmarshalljrThe Survival Circle website or on Insta the_survivorscircleBuy Robert's Book:EchoesIf you are someone you know is experiencing emotional distress or suicidal ideation, please access the resources below:National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline: Call/Text 988National Sexual Assault Hotline  (RAINN) : 1-800-656-HOPE (4673)National Alliance for Mental Illness: 1-800-950-6264Subscribe / Support / Contact:

Content Warning: Child abuse- one of the PC's has a terrible family. In flashback, off screen and brief. It starts off with Ciara spending time with her uncle Lucious on a stake out as they track down their mysterious perpetrator, Rune. Things don't quite go as planned. Keyanthi takes a walk through the town to clear her head. The night is calm and she hears her brother, Oreadr screaming brashly. She rounds a corner to find Oreadr drunkenly chasing their friend Eravan and trying to convince him to join a ridiculous scheme.Ciara and Lucious continue their observation of Rune. After seeing him attack a woman in town he fled the scene and headed into the woods. Luna and Geleach have a moment in the flower meadow and talk about their newly remembered past lives. Ellie has to deal with her conflicting feelings over Luna and Bree. Back with Lucious and Ciara, they follow Rune into the woods, there, he is confronted by two mysterious women... who seem to terrify him. Keyanthi and Eravan get a moment alone and Eravan finally makes his move. Welcome! We're just a bunch strong women (Plus Michael) who enjoy acting and female-centric content.

We are still on a break from the Bachelor but connecting our stories to the franchise. We are already looking forward to Bachelor in Paradise this season, and Megan bases her story this week on someone we are very likely to see on the sand, Genevieve Parisi. Genevieve is from Massachusetts, now living in Southern California. The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, in Boston, Massachusetts, is the home of the vast personal art collection of Isabella Stewart Gardner. Over St. Patrick's Day weekend of 1990, thirteen pieces of art were stolen and this heist was the highest value museum heist for 29 years. (Story Starts at: 16:48) STORY CONTENT WARNING: Brief mention of a Child Death We also briefly discuss the recent events in Uvalde, Texas, and Buffalo, New York at the top of the episode.

Sharon McMahon has some great tools on how to do that, check her out on Instagram.

It's Black History Month, and we are focusing on stories from the Black community. Last week we saw Clayton give a … strange response to Teddi saying she was a virgin. That led us into a conversation about what a virgin “looks like.” We also discuss the sexualization of black girls. This week Danielle gives us more information about the over-sexualization of black girls in this country, with information from a recent study. She also tells us about the murder of Mary Ellen Deener. Her killer was caught the very next day, only to be released from prison to go Christmas shopping in 1973, to never return. Lester Eubanks, who now is in his mid-70s, was described as a 5-foot-11-inch male with black hair and brown eyes. At the time of his disappearance, he weighed approximately 175 pounds. Other unique physical characteristics include a mole under his left eye. Anyone who has information on Eubanks is asked to call the U.S. Marshals Service tip line at 866-4-WANTED.

Content Warning: Child birth, murder, and death of a newborn of natural causes. In this episode, we visit The West Room written by Cathrine Lord in the Victorian Era, and edited by Johnny Mains, narrated by Owen Curtiss. Have you ever rented a house that was larger than you needed? Have architects ever added more than you thought was necessary over the years? Architects often get the bad rap, even though they are trying to get the homeowner what they want. But sometimes even that is too much. Have you searched and searched to solve the true crime, which you know has happened in your manor house? Well, we have stumbled upon one by happenstance, and have found evidence of the spiritual kind before any of the physical kind. Our medium today is pregnant, and the father is away. Whatever is she to do? When the greatest support proposed is her sister-in-law, who, as it is known, thinks very little of her. Can our medium mother survive these times of trial? Find out what lurks in The West Room as the birthing hour nears.
