Should you be completely free from pornography before you start dating or consider marriage?It's a question I hear all the time from Christian men—and it's one Helena and I have had to live through personally.In this episode, Helena joins me for a very honest conversation about pornography, dating, marriage, honesty, trust, healing, and the hope of redemption.I brought pornography into my marriage.I wasn't fully free.And while our story has involved real pain, betrayal, secrecy, rebuilding trust, counseling, and a lot of hard work, God has also done something beautiful with our story.So is being completely free from porn a prerequisite for dating?Our answer is yes, you can date if you aren't fully free—but that doesn't mean you should take the decision lightly.You need to be honest.You need to be willing to heal.You need to be vulnerable.And you need to be prepared for the real consequences pornography can have on intimacy, trust, communication, and marriage.In this episode, we talk about:Whether you need to be completely free from pornography before datingWhen and how to disclose a pornography struggle in a dating relationshipWhy honesty can actually be a sign of integrityWhy another person cannot "fix" your pornography addictionHow marriage can expose the places where you're still woundedHow pornography can erode trust even when you're technically soberThe impact pornography had on our sex life and emotional intimacyWhy secrecy and lying can be more damaging than men realizeThe difference between sobriety and deeper healingWhy dating can become part of your healing story without becoming your solutionHow to approach women without putting them on a pedestal or reducing them to sexual objectsWhy Christian men need courage, vulnerability, and a willingness to let themselves be knownWe also share one of the most powerful pictures we've ever used to describe trust in marriage:The Garden.When someone enters marriage, they're being given access to a deeply personal part of another person's heart.Pornography doesn't simply break a rule.It can begin trampling the garden you've been entrusted with.But gardens can also be rebuilt.Trust can be restored.And God can redeem what has been damaged.Our marriage isn't a story of perfection.It's a story of two imperfect people who kept bringing their hearts, failures, and relationship back to the Lord. So if you're asking, "Am I allowed to date if I'm still struggling with porn?", this conversation is for you.You may not need to wait until you're perfect.But you do need to be willing to walk in honesty, courage, vulnerability, and healing.WANT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT'S REALLY DRIVING YOUR STRUGGLE?Take the free Secret Habit Clarity Quiz at:

How does a man build a relationship with his sexuality that feels integral and aligned with who he truly is? And what does it take for founders and high performers to move from secrecy, compulsion, and shame into a place of integrity and emotional clarity in their intimate lives?In this conversation, Bjoern and I explore a subject many founders and leaders wrestle with quietly, often in isolation.We look at how, within the entrepreneurial world, many men carry internal conflict, shame, or secrecy around their sexuality.For many founders and high performers, the harder they chase external achievement at the cost of themselves and their relationships, the more disconnected they consequently become from their emotional life, their needs, and their deeper self.In this episode, discover:How early conditioning shapes a man's relationship with his sexuality, creating shame, suppression, and a split identity through messages about what is acceptable or notHow many men perform as the “good man” who holds everything together, while having no place for the parts they learned to hide, leading to secrecy, acting out, and deeper disconnectionWhy this dynamic hits founders and high performers particularly hardThe impact of porn, how both Bjoern and I relate to it today, and how I moved through a 15 year porn addictionHow many men become hyper sexual yet deeply under intimate, craving nurturance without having a model to receive itHow men can repattern their sexuality in a practical way, with both Bjoern and me sharing honestly from our own journeysHow to own desire without shame, integrate the parts of ourselves we were taught to reject, and bring our sexuality into relationship consciously and with integrityAt its core, this episode is about transforming the way we relate to our sexuality as men.It is a journey of reclaiming the potency sexuality holds and integrating it into your life in a grounded and aligned way.It is about maturing in the places where unhealed parts still drive the show, taking responsibility for your shadows, and bringing more clarity, depth, and safety into your intimate life and into your leadership, allowing you to feel more peace, more passion, and more potency.If you are a man who feels confused, ashamed, or disconnected from your desire, or you long to live with more sexual integrity, confidence, and truth, this episode is for you—Connect with Alex Lehmann:

Alcohol is the world's most socially accepted toxin — a substance woven into our rituals, relationships, and celebrations, yet responsible for immeasurable physical, emotional, and societal harm. What happens when we finally confront that truth?In this episode, we sit down with Professor David Nutt, neuropsychopharmacologist, author, and founder of GABA Labs, to explore alcohol's hidden toll on the human terrain — from cellular toxicity and neuroinflammation to cultural indoctrination and addiction.David explains how alcohol damages nearly every system in the body, why our governments and industries continue to protect it, and how his groundbreaking work is offering a path forward. Through Sentia, a functional, non-alcoholic alternative designed to replicate alcohol's social and relaxing effects without the poison, David and his team are reimagining what it means to connect, unwind, and celebrate — consciously.We discuss:Why alcohol remains the most harmful drug in Western societyThe biological and social mechanisms behind addictionHow alcohol reshapes the terrain at every level — from the liver to the mindThe emerging movement toward functional, toxin-free social drinkingSentia, GABA Labs, and the future of conscious convivialityListen in as we uncover the paradox of the terrain toxin we celebrate — and the promise of a future beyond it.Learn more about Dave and his work at: https://gabalabs.com.Learn more about Sentia at http://www.sentiaspirits.com/ and follow them on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/sentiaspirits/.Support Terrain Theory on Patreon!

If you found out earlier on in your youth that you actually have a genetic propensity toward addiction, would you have made decisions a lot differently? Addiction is a bio-psycho-social model, but we don't really look at the biology part of it. Sometimes, we have to look at the physiology of things to understand addiction better. And there has to be a paradigm shift in thinking about how we operate and exist in this world. On today's episode, Duane speaks with Dr. Evelyn Higgins about genes and biomarkers, how they influence our behavior, how they play out in addiction, and why knowing about this part of ourselves is an important step in addiction treatment and recovery. Dr. Evelyn Higgins is the founder and CEO of Wired For Addiction and a recognized international expert in the epidemiology of addiction. With 34 years in clinical practice, Dr. Higgins has spent over 16 years dedicated to research and development in the science of addiction recovery, and she finds herself at the nexus of epigenetics, neuroscience, and addiction. In this episode, you will hear:What it means to look at errors in genetic codingEpigenetics and aberrant behaviorsWhy addiction is not a moral flaw, but a diseaseThe first step is getting objective information.The common genetic markers of addictionHow seeing addiction from a biological perspective impacts the familiesFollow and Review:We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

If you've ever felt like your porn addiction makes no sense—like you're a good man, doing your best, yet you keep falling into the same cycle—this episode will hit home.In today's conversation, I sit down with Chandler Rogers, founder of the Relay app, to unpack why it's not actually pleasure that keeps you stuck in the addiction cycle… it's pain. Specifically, it's the pain you haven't been taught how to face.We talk about the hidden wounds driving sexual compulsion, the parts of you that feel pressure to be perfect, and the scared young boy inside that's just trying to be okay. Chandler opens up about his own story of struggling with pornography in secret, even while appearing “put together” on the outside—a story many of us will deeply relate to.We also explore why white-knuckling and over-managing your behavior isn't real recovery… and how true healing begins when you stop avoiding pain and start listening to it.This episode covers powerful themes around:How to quit porn by healing emotional pain, not just controlling behaviorWhy self-awareness and self-compassion are critical for lasting porn recoveryThe role of vulnerability and group support in overcoming porn addictionHow the fear of rejection drives compulsive sexual behaviorWhy many Christian men feel shame around their sexuality—and how to heal itHow Internal Family Systems (IFS therapy) helps us lead our parts rather than be controlled by themWhat it means to build emotional safety, sexual integrity, and spiritual growth as a manWe also talk about how to navigate marriage when one partner is healing from betrayal trauma, and the other is trying to maintain sexual sobriety. Chandler shares vulnerable, practical insights about how men can face their emotions, show up for their wives, and connect with the inner child driving their compulsions.Whether you're in the middle of your struggle or years into recovery, this conversation will challenge and empower you. This is not a “do more” message—it's an invitation to go deeper.Resources Mentioned:

You've read the books. Saved the Reels. Listened to the podcasts. Taken the courses. But deep down, you're still stuck—and wondering why all the “growth” isn't transforming your life or business.In this solo episode, George delivers a blunt but loving reality check: you might be addicted to the idea of transformation, not the embodiment of it. If you've been collecting knowledge but avoiding the uncomfortable work of becoming the person you say you want to be, this one is for you.This episode is raw, personal, and deeply practical. George calls himself out—and calls you up—with tools to move from passive consumption to lasting transformation.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy constant consumption can be the biggest block to real growthThe difference between being entertained by growth vs. committed to itThe painful truth behind personal development addictionHow to break the “information trap” and build momentumThe 4-question framework that bridges knowing to becomingHow to embody transformation even when it feels boring, inconvenient, or hard Key Takeaways✔️Transformation doesn't come from what you know—it comes from what you live.✔️Consuming knowledge can feel productive, but it's often just avoidance.✔️Real growth requires discomfort, repetition, and integrity.✔️You don't need a new strategy—you need to use the key you already have.✔️Stop waiting for the perfect moment. Embodiment starts with one rep, one choice.✔️Growth is sacred—and often invisible in the beginning. Timestamps[00:00] – The illusion of growth: books, Reels, and zero results[05:00] – Knowledge isn't power—embodiment is[10:00] – The trap of passive growth and dopamine confidence[15:00] – People don't learn from your words—they watch your actions[20:00] – You already know what to do—you're just avoiding itYour Challenge This WeekAsk yourself:What's one thing I keep learning but haven't embodied?What uncomfortable action am I avoiding—even though I know it's the key?Choose one thing from the last 30 days and live it fully for the next 7 days.Then DM George what you chose—he wants to hear it.Join The Alliance – Connect with growth-minded entrepreneurs who are living their truth (not just learning it).Apply for 1:1 Coaching – Want help moving from knowing to becoming?

A raw, redemptive conversation with Tina Huggins about healing religious sexual shame, restoring trust in marriage, and breaking the real roots of porn addiction. What if your deepest struggle with porn addiction isn't about lust—but about unhealed shame?In this episode of the No More Desire podcast, host Jake Kastleman sits down with Tina Huggins, a restorative family mediator and certified divorce coach who shares insights for porn addiction recovery, religious trauma, and high-conflict relationships.

Have you ever wondered if your attempts to unwind with alcohol are actually adding to your burdens?  Coach Ruby Williams offers a powerful glimpse into the realities of seeking alcohol freedom through two personal coaching sessions. First, we meet Anne, a mom and professional learning to navigate stress and cravings using the tools provided by The Path.

On this week's episode of In The Circle, we're joined by Elaine, who draws our attention to one of the most challenging scenarios in all of addiction: What steps can parents take to support their grown child in addiction recovery?How do I remain silent when my child continues to make bad choices? I don't want to enable them. I don't know how to support them. What can I do?

In this episode, we explore the often silent battle with sexual and porn addiction.Our guest, Patrick, holds a Master's degree in counseling from Moody Theological Seminary-Michigan, specializing in the intersection of psychology, therapy, and theology. He is a licensed professional counselor in Michigan with a focus on sexual addiction since 2020.Patrick is affiliated with various professional organizations such as the American Counseling Association (ACA), AACC Professional Life Coach Certification, Green Cross Member of Traumatology (GCAT), Gottman Level 1 trained, Michigan Counselors Association (MCA), and the American Association of Christian Counselors (AACC).Today's discussion marks the first part of a two-part series delving into the complexities of porn and sex addiction, topics often brushed aside due to societal taboos. Despite its prevalence, many individuals hesitate to seek help for fear of judgment or ostracization.Statistics from Psychology Today reveal that the average age of first exposure to porn is 13, setting the stage for a potential lifelong struggle. Shockingly, around 80% of men and 30% of women (45% when considering women who watch with their partners) engage with porn on a weekly basis.It's crucial to recognize that sexual and porn addiction is more widespread than commonly acknowledged. Our aim in discussing this issue is to break the silence, provide education, and extend resources to those grappling with this addiction.In my conversation with Patrick we discussWhat causes porn addictionHow to tell if you're a sex addict and or porn addictHow social media affects or promotes porn addictionHow therapy can help with recoveryHow emotions and mental health correlate with compulsive sexual behaviorsHow porn addiction affects romantic relationships and, How faith and religion play a role in recovery Where to find Patrick/resources: https://northpoint.buzzsprout.com/www.northpoint-counseling.comwww.treatsexualaddiction.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/patrick-eilers-ma-lpc-csat-310036b9/Instagram: rated_pgeTime stamps: 0:00 Intro/Exploring Porn and Sex Addiction14:02 Understanding Factors Influencing Sexual Behavior20:47 Navigating Relationships and Sexual Addiction26:45 Navigating Betrayal and Trauma in Relationships37:10 Brain Pathways and Overcoming Addictive Behaviors42:06 Understanding Addiction and Triggers54:20 Overcoming Shame and Embracing Identity1:02:11 Outro*IF OUR CONTENT IS VALUABLE TO YOU, PLEASE RATE AND REVIEW THE SHOW*Instagram: @awordtothewisepodYoutube: A Word To The Wise PodcastEmail: awordtothewisepod@gmail.com

In this episode of In the Circle, I am joined by Bernice, a distinguished addiction counselor and fellow traveler in long-term recovery. She inquires: How Can I Inspire Others Into Addiction Recovery? We dive deep into the complex world of individuals battling severe addiction issues compounded by intergenerational trauma, homelessness, and a profound sense of hopelessness. We also explore what it means to inspire recovery and hope in those who feel forgotten by society, and possible solutions we can offer. This episode is a candid look into the intersection of addiction with societal failings, reminding us that not everybody has someone to turn to in their time of need. Be someone's angel today and reach out to those in the grip of severe addiction.Tommy discussesHow you can offer support to someone going through addiction Whether or not medication-assisted treatment is usefulHow we can care better for those battling trauma and addictionHow to reconnect with love Why yoga, meditation, and breathwork can change your lifeLooking for a way to deepen your recovery journey and meet others in the Recovery 2.0 community?

We're all expected to make all this very time-intensive content for free, at the expense of getting to do our actual work.Myth: content creation = the most important work we doPositives of Social Media: Gives us a platform for sharing and building an audience around the work we're excited about.SM is the tool, not us — we shouldn't be working for SM, it needs to work for us.Why we NEED to use SMHow to know what to focus on: What are the 1 or 2 platforms that do the following:1) Makes us more productive/creative2) Somehow helps generate income or new businessLet all the others go. Abandon them, or just relegate them to lower, more supporting roles for your main SM platforms.Backwards relationship: Making content to share, vs. Sharing what we make.Focus = Sacrifice. By letting go of some SM apps, you WILL miss out on some opportunities.Choosing apps that help you share what you want to share best.Depth and Focus are more important than trying to "do it all".How does your social media use (as a content creator) help or hinder your creative work?Conclusion: Asking what value our content provides for others?———What Social Media Works Best For You?Please share your thoughts! What apps work best for the kind of content you want to share? What do you think about making content to share vs. sharing work you made for some other reason? How has sharing on SM helped or hindered your productivity or creativity?Please let me know — I love hearing your thoughts as you listen along.HOW TO SUPPORTThank you for listening/watching!01 — Share this episode/podcast with a friend. This is the single most effective way to help grow this podcast.02 — Support me on Patreon at http://patreon.com/tomfroeseThis helps me cover some of the costs of running the show.03 – Take my Skillshare classes! Visit http://tomfroese.com/teaching to find links to all my classes.

As an actress, comedian and Playboy model, Jessica Landon appeared to have the perfect life. But deep down, she was silently suffering from unresolved childhood trauma. Jessica began drinking as a pre-teen and didn't stop. She became so reliant on alcohol that it became “the only way I could survive in the world,” as she describes it. After experiencing a 16-day stay in the ICU involving multiple organ failures resulting from her drinking, Jessica finally made the decision to start her recovery journey. This week on Heart of the Matter, Jessica joins Elizabeth Vargas to discuss how her parents' support helped her heal, how laughter played a significant part in her recovery and her role as a co-founder of the Sober Mom Squad. Explore more on topics and themes discussed in this episode:Get One-on-One Help to Address Your Child's Substance UseHow to Identify Substance Use Disorder & AddictionHow to Address Alcohol & Underage DrinkingEditor's Note: The views and opinions expressed on Heart of the Matter are those of the podcast participants and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of Partnership to End Addiction.
