In this episode of Here Comes Sunshine, I’m talking about something a lot of men in their 40s, 50s, and beyond struggle with but rarely say out loud, gooning, or getting lost in porn, and how it impacts real intimacy with a partner.

There’s no judgment here. Many of you have known me since my days as a creator on spicy platforms, and I want you to know, I get it. Back then, I was acting out my own trauma drama, and looking for connection in ways that didn’t serve me. So when I say I understand how easy it is to get hooked, I mean it.

We’ll explore how you can begin to shift back toward real, meaningful intimacy, without shame and without losing hope.

If you’re ready to move from screen-based escape into connection, this one’s for you.

Have you ever felt bamboozled by love and swept up in someone else’s world only to lose yourself in the process? In this week’s episode of Here Comes Sunshine, I open up about my own journey through divorce, toxic relationships, and the lessons I learned about identity, mental health, and slowing down in the second half of life.

This one is especially for men over 45 who are navigating relationships, life challenges, and the roadblocks life throws at you.

Together we’ll look at:

• How to spot red flags before it’s too late
• Why your body often knows the truth before your mind
• The danger of living someone else’s dream instead of your own
• How slowing down in relationships can actually bring you more peace and confidence

If you’re ready to live unapologetically, on your own terms, this episode is for you.
