Alaska is vast, remote, and indifferent to human comfort. It's a place where the wilderness stretches unbroken for hundreds of miles, where the nights last for months, and where the line between the known and the unexplainable grows thin. In Stranger Alaska, the tenth book in the acclaimed Stranger series, paranormal investigator and 40-year field researcher John Olsen collects the most chilling, baffling, and unforgettable true encounters ever reported from the Last Frontier.John's website is here: A big thank you as always to John for joining me. Our Patreon is live, if you want to support the show and get Ad-Free episodes, bonus content, early release of the regular show and monthly prizes for everyone who signs up!Join now for $4 a month!You can also support the show by leaving a review to help spread the word.Don't forget, you can now show your support with our brand new Merchandise shop on Tee-Public!Click here for all the show merch!You can join us on Facebook and Instagram as well.You can also subscribe to our YouTube channel!Email us at mysteriesandmonsters@gmail.com with any feedback, guest suggestions or if you'd like to appear.           All artwork by Dean Bestall and the show was produced by Brennan Storr of the Ghost Story Guys. Our theme music is kindly provided by the amazing Weary Pines, you can find them here:  Intro - Zombies Ate My Shotgun     Outro - Into The Night #JohnOlsen #Alaska #StrangerAlaska #Sasquatch #Bigfoot #Ghosts #Haunted #Supernatural #StrangerBridgerland #Whistle #Woods #LakeMonsters #MissingPeople #Haunting #Dogman #Werewolf

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION “I miss my home, [although I] don't remember it. Sometimes, I perceive a glimmer of it nonetheless. A longing for a feeling I can't remember or even name. But I know it's real, just beyond the sunset.”~The Stranger, Rings of Power S02E01 “But according to his promise we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.”~2 Peter 3:13 “You are both free and bound. Free, paradoxically, because, now, you have a home… And bound: to that mystery, precisely, a bondage which liberates you into something of the glory and suffering of the world.”~Zadie Smith, contemporary English writer “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.”~John 1:14SERMON PASSAGEPsalm 85 (ESV)1 Lord, you were favorable to your land;   you restored the fortunes of Jacob.2 You forgave the iniquity of your people;   you covered all their sin.                      Selah3 You withdrew all your wrath;   you turned from your hot anger. 4 Restore us again, O God of our salvation,   and put away your indignation toward us!5 Will you be angry with us forever?   Will you prolong your anger to all generations?6 Will you not revive us again,   that your people may rejoice in you?7 Show us your steadfast love, O Lord,   and grant us your salvation. 8 Let me hear what God the Lord will speak,   for he will speak peace to his people, to his saints;   but let them not turn back to folly.9 Surely his salvation is near to those who fear him,   that glory may dwell in our land. 10 Steadfast love and faithfulness meet;   righteousness and peace kiss each other.11 Faithfulness springs up from the ground,   and righteousness looks down from the sky.12 Yes, the Lord will give what is good,   and our land will yield its increase.13 Righteousness will go before him   and make his footsteps a way.

This episode of The JB and Sandy Show is packed with laughs, heartfelt moments, local Austin stories, and plenty of classic JB and Sandy banter. The conversation begins with everything from social batteries and concert-going personalities to one unforgettable discussion that has everyone questioning why anyone feels the need to clarify, “not breast milk” in everyday conversations.

Meanwhile, JB finds himself facing an unexpected reality of dog ownership, repeatedly standing in the front yard late at night pleading, “Go pee-pee!” and wondering how life arrived at this point. It's one of the episode's funniest and most relatable moments. The team also covers a petition gaining momentum to rename Nashville International Airport after Dolly Parton, a stunning lunar eclipse that promises a dramatic orange glow in the night sky, and exciting details about a brand-new indoor live music venue coming to Austin. Plus, the pressure is on during Minute to Win It as a listener comes agonizingly close to winning four pairs of Tim McGraw tickets in a nail-biting finish that had everyone rooting for her.Memorable Moments:“Maybe she's just not getting what she needs from you.”JB's hilarious late-night dog-training confession: “Go pee-pee!”A touching story of a driver singing Dolly songs through tears in Austin traffic.The debate over naming Nashville's airport after Dolly Parton.A Tim McGraw ticket challenge that came down to the final seconds.From laugh-out-loud conversations to heartfelt reflections and can't-miss Austin stories, this episode delivers everything listeners love about mornings with JB, Sandy, and Tricia.

We often underestimate how much small talk can impact our wellbeing. Research shows that even brief conversations with strangers can boost our happiness and sense of connection, but fear and anxiety often keep us from reaching out.Summary: We often avoid talking to strangers because we assume they'd rather be left alone, or worry the interaction will be awkward. But research shows that our expectations about these interactions are often wrong. Even brief conversations can make us happier and more connected. On this episode of The Science of Happiness, learn how small choices like saying hello, asking a question, or offering a compliment can help us overcome our hesitation and create meaningful moments of connection.How To Do This Practice: Notice an opportunity: Throughout your day, look for moments when you're near someone you don't know—a person on public transit, in line at a coffee shop, or walking through your neighborhood. Put away your phone: Create a little more space for connection by taking out your earbuds or putting your phone away, rather than using it to avoid interacting with the people around you. Take the first step: When you notice an opportunity, say hello, introduce yourself, or ask a simple question. You don't need the perfect opening—just get the conversation started. Ask a follow-up question: Show genuine curiosity about the other person. Ask about something they've mentioned and let the conversation unfold naturally. Share something about yourself: Connection goes both ways. Offer a little about your own experiences, interests, or perspective so the conversation becomes a two-way exchange. Try it again: Pay attention to how you feel afterward, then look for another opportunity to connect. Treat it as an experiment and practice making small choices that bring you closer to the people around you.

You never met them. You never shook their hand. So why does it feel like you lost a friend when the news says they're gone?nnThis week on The Mortals, funeral director and singer-songwriter Nathan Morris sits with the grief nobody gives you permission to feel — the artist whose songs raised you, the voice that was in your kitchen for fifteen years, the stranger whose passing put you flat on the floor. It's called parasocial grief, and it is not a malfunction. It's love that only had to travel one way.From a child's headstone found buried under a backyard deck, to an English village that tended an enemy airman's grave for nearly 86 years, to the signs we swear come from the people we've lost — this is a night about the names we refuse to put down, and why looking straight at death is how we learn to live louder. Bring someone with you. Drop a name you still carry in the chat — we're going to say them out loud.STAY CONNECTEDnn

What does it really take to become a professional screenwriter?In this fascinating conversation, Glenn Benest—screenwriter of two Wes Craven films, producer, novelist, and longtime Hollywood mentor—shares the lessons that transformed his career. From adapting A Stranger in Our House to collaborating with Wes Craven on Deadly Blessing, Glenn reveals why most aspiring writers focus on the wrong things, why film school isn't always the answer, and why the screenplay itself is the only calling card that truly matters.The discussion also dives into the development of Scream, the importance of finding world-class mentors, how writers should approach rewrites, what separates amateur scripts from professional ones, and why confidence—not perfection—is the key to finishing your first screenplay. Whether you're an aspiring writer, filmmaker, or storyteller, this episode is packed with practical wisdom from someone who's spent decades helping scripts become movies.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bulletproof-screenwriting-podcast--2881148/support.

Michael Aldrich joins John Ross to discuss Old Lhasa: A Biography, his richly detailed portrait of Tibet's historic capital. It's the third book in his trilogy on Asian cultural centers. He wrote the first two, on Beijing and Ulaanbaatar, while living in those cities, where he worked as a lawyer. There was no opportunity for this with Lhasa, so he had to rely on multiple trips (from his home in Taiwan) and an incredible amount of reading and research. Rather than writing a conventional history, Aldrich set out to present Lhasa as a living character – a city whose temples, alleyways, legends and surviving traditions can still tell their own stories. Books mentioned M.A. Aldrich The Search for a Vanishing Beijing: A Guide to China's Capital Through the Ages (Hong Kong University Press, 2006) Ulaanbaatar beyond Water and Grass: A Guide to the Capital of Mongolia (Hong Kong University Press, 2018) Old Lhasa: A Biography Originally published by Camphor Press in January 2023 and subsequently reissued in 2025 by Speaking Tiger Books with a new epilogue based on Aldrich's 2024 return to Tibet. The episode touches on the amazing story of Ekai Kawaguchi (河口慧海 1866–1945), a Japanese Buddhist monk who spent time in Lhasa in the early 1900s. He is the subject of Scott Berry's A Stranger in Tibet. The Books on Asia Podcast is co-produced with Plum Rain Press. Podcast host Amy Chavez is author of The Widow, the Priest, and the Octopus Hunter: Discovering a Lost Way of Life on a Secluded Japanese Island. and Amy's Guide to Best Behavior in Japan.

SUMMARY: Most of us parent from what we already know and love. We steer our kids toward the sports we played and the interests we developed, and then we wait for them to get excited about our world. In Part 6 of the Multipliers series, Jeff reads Chapter 23 of the DadAwesome book and shares an archive clip with Alex Burton about a prayer, a purple carabiner, and a campfire question that changed everything. TAKEAWAYS Delight in what they delight in. Stop waiting for your kids to get excited about your world and step into theirs instead. Our Heavenly Father does not just tolerate what we care about. He delights in it. He came down instead of making us climb up. Ask the men who know you best: what do you see in my life that I am not seeing, and what am I missing? Then do not get defensive. Write down what they say. Connection is worth the sacrifice. The cost is not always money. Sometimes it is time, and sometimes it is setting aside your preferences for theirs. Pause and pray before you show up. Alex asked God what to bring before he ever left his house, and a child he had never met walked away knowing she was known. Guest Alex Burton is an outdoors enthusiast, a climber, and a father of three. He and his wife, Mel, have been married more than 26 years. Alex serves on the staff team at Wild at Heart. His full conversation with Jeff is Episode 297. QUOTES "I experienced something I can only describe as kind fathering from a complete stranger." (04:30) "This wasn't just a piece of climbing equipment anymore. It was proof that someone saw her. Someone cared about what brought her joy. God knew her favorite color, and He used Alex to show her." (04:50) "Alex, right now, if I could choose who'd be around this campfire with, I would choose my son. Can you say the same?" (06:30) "You don't need to become an expert in what your kids love. You just need to show up and jump in. When you step into their world, you're reflecting how God treats us. He came down instead of making us climb up." (10:20) "It wasn't even so much, it could have been anything, but it was purple." (13:20) Alex Burton ACTION STEPS I. Reflection Name what each child delights in. Write down each kid's name, and next to it, what they are into right now. Legos, surfing, bike rides, theater, dance, soccer. If you are not sure, that is your invitation to get curious. Find where you are resisting. Is there a passion of theirs that annoys you, crowds your calendar, or that you secretly hope they outgrow? Name it, then go a step deeper and ask why your heart is positioned that way. Ask if your kids know they are delighted in. Do they know that your favorite role in life, outside of being married to their mom, is being their dad? Try asking them directly: do you have any idea how much I love you? Then watch their eyes. II. Multiplication Ask the campfire question. Take it to two or three friends: what do you see in my life that I am not seeing, and what am I missing? Do not defend yourself. Just write it down. Be an Alex for another dad. Alex took a half day off work for a family he had never met. Could you take time off, help with a project, or create a moment for another dad and his kids? Send a joy bomb. An unexpected gift at an unexpected time, to your wife, your kids, or a dad who is grinding. No occasion required. III. Activation Pray before you show up. Before the recital, the game, or youth group pickup, pause in the car and ask God if there is something He wants you to bring or say. The pause is huge. Jump into their world this week. Research what they love. Show up with a surprising level of joyful curiosity and joyful participation. Put something in their hand. Something small from the store or ordered online, given for no reason, with the words: I see you, I love you, I delight in you. Pray Zephaniah 3:17 over each child by name, out loud, this week. Insert their name into the verse and let it reshape how you pray for them.

This week a total stranger handed NeuroNoodle his brain. He pulled his own EEG, stripped out every identifying detail, and asked host Pete Jansons and Jay Gunkelman — the man who's read over half a million brain scans — to "read my brain" live on the show. What follows is a rare, unscripted master class: Jay decoding a real, de-identified brain map in real time, with Dr. Mari Swingle on the clinical side. Along the way: how to catch a brain map that's lying to you (Gauss's Law), why a 50Hz hum means the scan is European, how a sleep spindle and an SMR are the same wave, what very fast "glutamate beta" can suggest about a hyper-excitable cortex — and why Jay says the DSM has "no predictive validity" for choosing treatment. Then the reveal: a sharp, high-IQ 25-year-old who moved back home and burned out — and what Jay and Dr. Mari would do about it. Plus Joshua Moore on QEEG phenotypes and the "85%" finding.

A stranger emailed Wayne Jacobson with a claim that sounded like nonsense. The word righteousness is not really in the Bible. It turned out to be a translation problem 500 years in the making. In this clip, Wayne walks through how one Greek word came to be translated righteousness in our Bibles when it is translated justice everywhere else, and what changes when you put it back. KEY TAKEAWAYS ⚡️ The Greek word behind righteousness is translated justice in every other text of its day, including Plato's Republic. ⚡️ Reading it as justice instead of righteousness reframes nearly every verse where the word appears. ⚡️ The Reformation resolved righteousness through the cross but left transformation unresolved, which is exactly the gap this reopens.

 We say we want more human connection, so why can texting “want to hang?” feel weirdly like begging? This week, Amanda is joined by ICU nurse, New York Times bestselling author, and Stories from a Stranger host Hunter Prosper (@hunter_prosper), whose work interviewing strangers has taught him that connection often starts with something deceptively simple: actually listening. Together, they overthink why we assume we're burdening our friends, the case for the humble 20-minute “micro hang,” and how to be vulnerable without accidentally oversharing your way into an intimacy level you never signed up for. They also get into our increasingly unrealistic expectations around constant communication, why one awkward social moment probably isn't being dissected in the group chat, and how many potential friendships die because everyone is waiting for someone else to make the first move.A thoughtful spiral about loneliness, vulnerability, and being brave enough to say hi first.

Fake Ass Book Club welcomes Jennifer Magley for a conversation about Tayari Jones' Kin. The group digs into family, identity, abandonment, ambition, and the things we spend our lives chasing. Jennifer's own experiences with persistence, reinvention, and her 365-day Stooge Quest add another layer to the discussion, creating some connections between the book and the pursuit of our own goals. And while the conversation doesn't go quite where Moni and Kat expected, that's part of what makes this episode of Fake Ass Book Club so much fun. Sometimes the best book conversations aren't about agreeing on the story, but leaning into why it made us feel the way we did. The Book Club is Fake, but the Talk is REAL! Cheers

Country music star Jordan Davis traces the surprising ways his life was connected to the Robertsons long before they ever met, from growing up on Phil's Duck Commander videos and hearing him preach as a kid to making “Unashamed” part of his faith journey. Jordan opens up to Jase, Al, and Zach about the years he struggled to make it in Nashville, the wake-up call from his wife that forced him to rethink life on the road, and how becoming a husband and father changed the way he approaches fame, music, and the people in his audience. The guys dig into why success so often fails to deliver what it promises and how faith, family, and strong roots can keep someone grounded when the spotlight gets brighter. Learn more about the faith, family, and hard-earned perspective behind Jordan's music at https://jordandavisofficial.com. “Unashamed” Episode 1401 is sponsored by: https://chministries.org/unashamed — Get a better solution at half the cost of traditional healthcare! https://myphdweightloss.com — Find out how Al lost 80+ pounds.

August 14, 2026; 5pm: “Stranger things have happened” is Donald Trump's response to a proposal that he declare a national emergency to take control of our elections, an unsettling thing to hear given that the upcoming midterms will serve as a symbolic referendum on Trump and his administration a year and a half into his second term.

Today's Headlines: Trump secretly escaped Air Force One in a catering truck at the NATO summit in Turkey due to an Iranian assassination threat — leaving the press corps and cabinet members including Marco Rubio sitting inside the plane he'd just abandoned as a decoy. The plane he fled was the Qatari hand-me-down that clearly wasn't secure enough for the president. When asked if he'd declare a national emergency around the November midterms, Trump said "stranger things have happened, I'll leave it at that" and then actually left it at that, which is alarming, to say the least. Meanwhile, the DOJ deployed election monitors to Minnesota's two biggest counties for their primary elections, a federal judge blocked Trump's postal service mail-in voting restrictions, and Todd Blanche is apparently discussing using ICE at polling places, so the election interference infrastructure is coming together nicely. On the corruption beat, the Antwerp World Diamond Center gave Trump a ring the size of a watch with 300 diamonds, dozens of sapphires, two giant T's, and "crafted in Antwerp for Donald John Trump" engraved on it — and weeks later the Trump administration approved a tariff exemption for Belgium's diamond industry, prompting Elizabeth Warren to send a strongly worded letter. Moving on to Immigration, ICE is planning to spend $20 million on electric shock gloves for agents, made by a company called Compliant Technologies, because subtlety is not the vibe. And finally, a new study found that dogs can distinguish between fear, anger, and sadness in human facial expressions with more nuance than previously known, which is genuinely good news and the only story today that doesn't require a drink afterward.

Why You Feel Like a Stranger in Your Own Body and The Five-Minute Tool That Calms Rage and Helps You Actually Sleep Have you been waking up lately and feeling a little off? You are getting everything done, but somewhere in there you lost the version of you who felt steady and clear and easy to be around. In this episode, I sit down with Jessica Long, a certified trauma informed breathwork facilitator and certified menopause coaching specialist. We talk about why so much of how you feel comes from your body first, before your thoughts ever get involved. That is a different starting point than most of us were taught when it comes to fixing stress, fog, or feeling stuck. Jessica explains why so many of us breathe in a way that quietly tells our nervous system something is wrong, even when we are just sitting at our desk or scrolling our phone. We also talk about a skill called interoception. That is your ability to feel what is happening inside your own body. So many women lose touch with this skill without ever realizing it, and it is part of why you might feel disconnected from yourself. This conversation is for any woman who has thought, "I just don't feel like myself anymore," and wants to understand why, and what to do about it. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why your body sends safety signals to your brain, not the other way around What the vagus nerve is and why it matters for feeling calm Why shallow chest breathing can signal danger to your nervous system without you noticing What interoception is, and why losing touch with your body can leave you feeling foggy and disconnected A few small ways to build a breathwork habit, even if meditation never stuck for you before How breathwork before bed can help you fall asleep faster How a calmer nervous system gives you more room to pause before a craving takes over Key Takeaway Feeling calm and feeling like yourself again does not start in your head. It starts in your body. When you give your nervous system a clear signal of safety, something as simple as your breath can do this, everything else gets a little easier. That includes the food noise in your head and how often you find yourself thinking about food. You do not need an hour or a perfect routine. You need a few minutes and a little bit of practice. Listen If You've Ever Thought... "I just don't feel like myself anymore." "I know what to do, so why can't I make myself do it?" "I've tried meditation a hundred times and it never sticks." "Why do I want to eat the second I finally sit down at night?" "I'm too in my head to relax."   Learn More About Jessica Long Jessica's FREE Sleep Breathwork Session  https://your.belongwellness.com/sleep Next-Level You Waitlist: A 3-month breathwork program for the woman who's done white-knuckling through life  https://www.belongwellness.com/work-with-me Jessica's website  https://www.belongwellness.com/ Instagram @heyjessicalong  https://www.instagram.com/heyjessicalong Midlife Advice Podcast  https://www.belongwellness.com/podcast   Want More?

Whether you're an aspiring writer, filmmaker, or storyteller, this episode is packed with practical wisdom from someone who's spent decades helping scripts become movies.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/indie-film-hustle-a-filmmaking-podcast--2664729/support.

This episode is a wake-up call for anyone who thinks they're safe from the reach of the Chinese Communist Party. The speaker delves into a report from the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, which reveals that three Chinese state-owned carriers are still deeply embedded in the US internet infrastructure, despite being kicked out of the American phone business years ago. This is not just a matter of selling phone service; it's about the Chinese government's ability to quietly surveil and manipulate American internet users.The speaker explains that the FCC's actions, while well-intentioned, don't go far enough. Revoking a license doesn't pull the equipment out of the wall or sever the network relationships. The Chinese carriers can still collect data and push hidden software changes, making it difficult for the US to regain control. The speaker also highlights the case of TP-Link, a Chinese company that controls a significant portion of the American home and small business router market, and has been linked to compromised routers used in attacks on government agencies and defense contractors.The speaker also touches on the Internet of Things (IoT) army that's quietly installed in our homes, from smart cameras to garage door openers. These devices can be used to track our movements and collect data, which can be used against us. The speaker emphasizes that we've essentially installed this surveillance system for ourselves, one Amazon shipment at a time.This episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to understand the extent of the Chinese Communist Party's reach into the US internet infrastructure. The speaker provides a clear and concise explanation of the issue and offers practical advice on how to protect yourself. Don't miss this eye-opening conversation that will leave you wondering what's really going on in your own home.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Socrates is one of the most revered figures in the history of philosophy, but Fredrich Nietzsche had serious questions on the impact the Greek philosopher had on the West. Did the Socratic tradition forever alter the Greek understanding of virtue? Did that change shift the direction of Western thought for thousands of years? Rogue philosophy professor Athenian Stranger joins me to evaluate Nietzsche's complex relationship with Socrates.

Reality may be bigger, stranger, and far more crowded than our three-dimensional monkey brains can handle. This week on Hysteria 51, we count down ten horrifying theories about what could exist in dimensions we cannot see, from shadow matter and hidden forces to holographic universes, colliding branes, M-theory, and countless alternate versions of you making equally terrible decisions.Could gravity be leaking into another dimension? Is our universe just one thin membrane floating in a much larger cosmic void? Does every possible outcome create another reality where you remembered the password on the first try? We break down the real science behind extra dimensions, dark matter, the multiverse, many-worlds theory, and the terrifying possibility that reality has more rooms than advertised.So grab a flashlight, avoid making eye contact with the shadow universe occupying your couch, and prepare to discover why the cosmos is weird, physics is rude, and somewhere in another dimension, this episode is probably much better.SourcesTime and the Block UniverseStanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy – Timehttps://plato.stanford.edu/archives/spr2026/entries/time/Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy – Temporal Consciousnesshttps://plato.stanford.edu/archives/fall2025/entries/consciousness-temporal/Asher Peres – “Critique of the Wheeler-DeWitt Equation”https://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/9704061The Fifth ForceEöt-Wash Group – “New Test of the Gravitational Inverse-Square Law at the Submillimeter Range”https://arxiv.org/abs/2002.11761NA64 Collaboration – “Hunting Down the X17 Boson at the CERN SPS”https://arxiv.org/abs/2009.02756Kaluza-Klein Theory and Extra DimensionsCERN – Extra Dimensions, Gravitons, and Tiny Black Holeshttps://home.cern/science/physics/extra-dimensions-gravitons-and-tiny-black-holes/Theodor Kaluza – “On the Unity Problem of Physics”https://inspirehep.net/literature/14622Shadow Matter and Hidden SectorsEdward Kolb, David Seckel, and Michael Turner – “The Shadow World of Superstring Theories”https://www.nature.com/articles/314415a0Lawrence Krauss, Alan Guth, David Spergel, George Field, and William Press – “Inflation and Shadow Matter”https://www.nature.com/articles/319748a0Dark Energy and Dimensional LeakageNobel Prize – The 2011 Nobel Prize in Physicshttps://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/physics/2011/summary/Nobel Prize – The Accelerating Expansion of the Universehttps://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/physics/2011/popular-information/Gia Dvali, Gregory Gabadadze, and Massimo Porrati – “4D Gravity on a Brane in 5D Minkowski Space”https://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/0005016The Holographic PrincipleLeonard Susskind – “The World as a Hologram”https://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/9409089Juan Maldacena – “The Large N Limit of Superconformal Field Theories and Supergravity”https://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/9711200Fermilab – The Holometerhttps://holometer.fnal.gov/index.htmlFermilab – Holometer Frequently Asked Questionshttps://holometer.fnal.gov/faq.htmlBrane Worlds and the BulkLisa Randall and Raman Sundrum – “A Large Mass Hierarchy from a Small Extra Dimension”https://arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/9905221Lisa Randall and Raman Sundrum – “An Alternative to Compactification”https://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/9906064The Ekpyrotic and Cyclic UniverseJustin Khoury, Burt Ovrut, Paul Steinhardt, and Neil Turok – “The Ekpyrotic Universe: Colliding Branes and the Origin of the Hot Big Bang”https://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/0103239Paul Steinhardt and Neil Turok – “Cosmic Evolution in a Cyclic Universe”https://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/0111098M-Theory and the String LandscapeEdward Witten – “String Theory Dynamics in Various Dimensions”https://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/9503124Leonard Susskind – “The Anthropic Landscape of String Theory”https://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/0302219T.

Part 2 THE CONCLUSION Kelly Sutliff is a Licensed Professional Counselor, advocate, speaker, and the Founder and Executive Director of Kelly's K9s, Tails of Courage, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing highly trained personal protection dogs to survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault at no cost. With over 20 years of experience in the mental health field, Kelly has dedicated her career to helping others heal, rebuild, and rediscover their strength. Her work as a psychotherapist, combined with her own lived experience as a survivor, gives her a unique and powerful perspective on trauma, resilience, and empowerment. After surviving a life changing domestic violence incident in 2019, Kelly transformed her pain into purpose. Her own protection dog, Stella, became a crucial part of reclaiming her safety, independence, and confidence. That bond inspired the creation of Kelly's K9s, where she now helps other survivors experience that same sense of security and freedom. Her journey has been featured nationally on the television series Toxic: Sleeping With a Stranger on Investigation Discovery and streaming platforms, where she shared her story to raise awareness about domestic violence, survivor safety, and the gaps that still exist within the system. Today, Kelly continues to turn survival into action through advocacy, education, and her work with both people and dogs. She speaks openly about domestic violence, healing after trauma, and the importance of empowering survivors beyond simply surviving. Through Kelly's K9s, her clinical work, and her public advocacy, Kelly's mission is to change the conversation around survivor support and prove that even from the darkest chapters, strength, purpose, and courage can rise.   Links: www.kellysk9s.org  IG- @real_talk_with_kelly IG- @kellys_k9s_tailsofcourage    Find The Suffering Podcast The Suffering Podcast Website The Suffering Podcast Instagram Kevin Donaldson Instagram Apple Podcast Spotify Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
