    Ashley calls the ATF

    So my psycho stalker Ashley Felk has called in multiple tips to crime stoppers in MI stating that I'm coming after her with a gun and that I'm planning to kill the Judge in Bay city. She's filed a protection order against me and I read it and give a summary of all the lies she's put into this.  I'll have to record another episode with all the crazy things she's done but I just wanted to put this out there so law enforcement and the ATF know who the real threat is.

    Serial Accuser

    False accusations don't just damage reputations, they destabilize entire lives. When someone is wrongly accused, they can lose their job, lose relationships, financial stability, and their sense of safety in their own community. The emotional toll is often severe: anxiety, isolation, and long‑term distrust become part of daily life. Even when the truth eventually comes out, the stain of the accusation can linger.  On this episode I talk with Erik who is one of many people who was falsely accused of sexual assault. Why would I believe him you ask? Because the same person who accused him in 2018 is now accusing me of abusing her and has accused multiple other victimes of wrong doing.  I've had dozens of people reach out privately, provide screenshots and documentation backing up her history of false claims against multiple individuals.  They even have a website dedicated to debunking her claims.  Ashleyfelkgethelp.com Erik and I have an organic conservation about our expirences and all the lies she told about herself and false accusations she spread about us. My intention is a warning to anyone who has every come in contact with her or is in contact with her. This individual is not creditable and nothing she says should be believed.  #cannibalcorpse #ashleyfelk

    Coming forward with Ashley

    I had a guest named Ashley, who told a story of abuse at the hands of a famous guitarist from a heavy metal band. After the interview, Ashley stayed in contact with me and would end up making the same claims against me. I now know that she's made allegations not only against me but against dozens of other men. What she didn't anticipate was that her accusations toward me wouldn't gain any traction. She also didn't expect that many people from her past would reach out to me, claiming she had accused them of sexual misconduct or domestic violence as well. They provided screenshots and evidence showing similar patterns of behavior and attempts to damage reputations and disrupt lives. At that point, I knew I had to do something. I understand that calling someone a liar especially someone claiming to be a victim is a bad look. But if nobody speaks up, this kind of harmful behavior goes unchecked. So far, I've only found online comments from people pushing back on her claims, but I'm the first to actually stand up and try to put a stop to it.

    Honey Brooks

    In this episode of The Peripheral, I sit down for a candid, wide-ranging conversation with Honey Brooks, an Australian OnlyFans creator, content entrepreneur, wife, and mother who shares her life openly with her husband in an open marriage. We dive deep into how Honeyy transitioned from a "normal mum" life into the adult industry, the realities of building a successful OnlyFans business (and why it's far from easy money), the power of radical communication in relationships, navigating judgment and online hate, and how openness has strengthened her marriage rather than threatened it.   https://honeyybrooksvip.com/ https://www.instagram.com/honeyybrooks/

Kat opens up about reaching a point where nothing else worked, leading her to ECT as a last-resort option.

But when family expectations collide with personal values, she finds herself donning a uniform—not out of passion, but out of a quiet hope to be seen, accepted, and maybe even understood.  This episode explores Megan's journey into the correctional system, where she learns to navigate the tension between duty and identity. She makes observations about her peers who seem to judge her the same way they judge the ones they oversee.  Do you choose approval for others or yourself?
