When I was deep in my porn addiction, I thought the biggest problem I had was desire. But over time, I discovered the real enemy was the constant storm of negative thinking in my own head—shame, self-doubt, anxiety, and a relentless inner critic that kept me trapped in the habit loop.In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on how negative thinking actively fuels porn addiction, why it's more than just “background noise,” and how it changes your brain in ways that make cravings harder to resist. We'll dive into the psychology, neuroscience, and spiritual truths behind why self-condemnation, all-or-nothing thinking, and emotional reasoning can lock you into relapse cycles—and what to do about it.You'll learn:The psychological impact of shame loops and how they create a self-fulfilling prophecy in addiction.How the brain's negativity bias and stress response prime you to seek quick dopamine from porn.Why most men's internal “motivation” strategies backfire and keep them stuck.The first practical step to rewire your brain and break the craving–relapse pattern.This isn't about pretending everything's fine or replacing negative thoughts with forced positivity. It's about developing the awareness and tools to face painful emotions head-on, dismantle toxic thinking patterns, and reclaim the mental freedom you need for long-term porn addiction recovery.Whether you're looking to quit porn, stop watching porn, or finally break free from years of feeling stuck, this episode will give you a clear and practical starting point.Listen now—and let's start breaking the cycle for good.Blog Article for this EpisodeFree Resources: Grab my Free eBook and Free Workshop for more strategies to overcome porn addiction, rewire your brain, and rebuild your life.Recommended Episodes: The Inner War that Keeps you Addicted to PornWhy Pain, Not Pleasure, Keeps You AddictedMy Real Rock Bottom – Years After I Got SoberSupport the showNo More Desire

As women, we receive so much messaging about how big our lives are allowed to be. Whether it's patriarchy, childhood conditioning, or the communities we're part of, many women learn that being convenient, optimistic, and helpful makes them lovable. Even though it isn't true, that influence often keeps us from living our lives in a bigger way. In this episode, we explore the signs that your life is too small for you and how you can start to live a life that's as honest and expressive as you want. Here's what I cover: How to recognize when your life has become too small by how your body feelsThe most common signs that you're ready to take your life to the next levelWhy your dreams feeling impossible or selfish is a signal that you're ready for changeHow resentment and irritation can show up under the surface when you feel stuck in a small lifeHow emotional suppression can lead to real issues that affect women's healthAn example of how my life changed when I learned how to say what needed to be saidSign up for the FREE WORKSHOP on July 22nd: https://pages.sarafisk.coach/say-it-jul-2025 Find Sara here:https://sarafisk.coachhttps://pages.sarafisk.coach/difficultconversationshttps://www.instagram.com/sarafiskcoach/https://www.facebook.com/SaraFiskCoaching/https://www.tiktok.com/@sarafiskcoachhttps://www.youtube.com/@sarafiskcoaching1333What happens inside the free Stop People Pleasing Facebook Community?
