This is a rebroadcast of one of my earlier episodes, something I wanted to bring back for newer listeners.

When I first quit porn, I wish I could say it was for some big, noble reason. But honestly… I just wanted to be happier. I wanted more fulfillment in my life and better relationships.

In this episode, I break down the real reasons I chose to quit and four powerful reasons you might want to consider it too.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, unfulfilled, or disconnected, this might give you a new perspective and a starting point.

What’s really driving your habits right now and is it leading you where you want to go?

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?

A message I read this morning literally made me tear up in a public cafe.

Inside the Unhooked Academy community, one of the guys shared that he finally told his wife about a relapse after six months of sobriety. He was terrified the conversation would end in divorce. But instead of anger, she was thankful he came to her honestly.

It became a powerful reminder for both of us that the stories we tell ourselves about rejection are often just that—stories.

Integrity, not perfection, is what actually leads to freedom.

Have you ever avoided telling the truth because you were afraid of how someone might respond?

In this episode, I talk about a hard but important moment in recovery: what to do when you slip and how to tell your partner about it.

The truth is, in many relationships, the slip itself isn’t what causes the most damage. It’s the lying, hiding, and slow erosion of trust that happens when the truth is covered up. Inspired by a recent Unhooked Academy coaching call, I break down what I call the Four C’s of Disclosure: choose the right moment, come clean fully, center her experience rather than your guilt, and commit to the path with real actions—not just an apology.

Recovery isn’t about perfection. It’s about integrity and learning to be the kind of man who doesn’t hide.

So the question is: when things get uncomfortable, will you choose honesty or self-protection?

In this episode of Unhooked, I share why quitting porn is valuable even if you’re single.

I talk about the myth that porn will disappear once you’re in a relationship, and why it’s actually a coping mechanism for stress, loneliness, and discomfort. The patterns you build now are the ones you’ll bring into your future partnership.

I explain how porn hijacks your dopamine system, hardwires you for dissatisfaction, and quietly drains your time, energy, and focus. I also share how quitting helped me build resilience, integrity, and the ability to sit with difficult emotions instead of numbing out.

This isn’t about shame. It’s about freedom, presence, and becoming the kind of man who has nothing to hide. That version of you isn’t built later, it’s built now, in the small decisions you make every day.

Most people struggle with habits because they think discipline has to be rigid and all-or-nothing. Then life disrupts the plan, shame creeps in, and consistency falls apart.

In this episode, I share why real discipline is actually flexible and how adapting your habits to your circumstances keeps you on track. I’ll introduce a simple tool I use with clients: the “minimum viable version” of a habit. One minute. One page. Five reps. Just enough to keep showing up.

The most disciplined version of you isn’t the one who never misses. It’s the one who never quits.

I joined Veronica Valli on the Soberful Podcast to have an honest conversation about porn addiction, dopamine, and what modern internet porn is really doing to our brains, relationships, and culture.

We discuss how today’s porn is more accessible and more extreme than ever, reshaping expectations around sex, novelty, and connection. I share my journey from early exposure and escalating use to the moment I realized I felt like a “slave to lust.” On the outside, life looked fine. On the inside, I wasn’t free.

We explore how mindfulness, neuroscience, and Buddhist philosophy helped me learn to sit with loneliness and anxiety instead of numbing out. We also talk about the cultural messages porn sends to young people, the normalization of aggression and lack of consent, and why we need better conversations about sexuality, values, and integrity, especially as parents raising boys today.

This isn’t about shame. It’s about awareness, responsibility, and building guardrails that protect what matters most.
