Unhooked: Breaking Porn Addiction Podcast

What does years of porn addiction actually do to your brain?
In this episode, I share a personal story from my own struggle. What 10 years of porn did to my mind, and the moment I realized how deeply it was shaping my thoughts and behavior.
We talk about how addiction rewires your brain, why certain thoughts feel automatic, and what it really takes to reverse the damage. I also share practical tools you can use to start changing your habits and take back control.
You’re not broken but you do need to be intentional about what you feed your mind.
What are you planting in your mind every day and where is it leading you?
If this resonated, share it with someone who needs it and subscribe for more conversations on recovery, discipline, and real change.

This is a rebroadcast of one of my most impactful episodes, something I wanted to bring back for newer listeners.
In this episode, I share a powerful story from a client who relapsed after 60 days… and instead of spiraling, chose to get back on track. What he did next and the five motivations that drove his recovery—completely changed his trajectory.
We talk about how to bounce back after a slip, reconnect with your “why,” and build a foundation that actually lasts.
Relapse doesn’t have to mean starting over.
What are the real reasons you want to break free and are they strong enough to carry you through the hard moments?

I joined Melissa Hadley Barrett on The Penis Project Podcast to talk about porn addiction, compulsive behaviors, and what they’re really doing to your brain and your relationships.
We broke down what addiction actually is, why so many men feel stuck in the cycle, and how things like dopamine, neuroplasticity, and the “amygdala hijack” keep you coming back—even when you want to stop.
We also talked about practical tools like mindfulness, the 90-second rule, and why willpower alone usually isn’t enough… you need support and accountability.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re fighting this battle alone, this conversation will give you a different way to look at it—and a path forward.
Have you ever felt like you’re not in control of your habits?
If this resonates, share it with someone who needs it—and subscribe for more conversations on recovery, discipline, and real change.
