We uncover how these hidden compulsions impact our lives—and what it takes to break free. If you're ready for a truly eye-opening conversation about addiction, identity, and fulfillment, this is one you don’t want to miss.

    This orientation gives a much stronger fuel source for your recovery. And in this episode I talk about some examples and how to practice it.

  • Starting at the young age of 10, porn became a habitual escape for me. Over time, I understood that it failed to provide lasting satisfaction, instead wiring my brain for lust.

These insights challenged me to align my habits with my personal growth and purpose. In this episode I share 5 powerful realizations that made me quit watching porn - for good!
