If you've ever said to yourself, “Porn ruined my life” — but still find yourself going back to it — this episode is for you.For years, I believed quitting porn was about discipline, willpower, and avoiding temptation. But what I eventually discovered — both in my own recovery and in my work with men — is that porn addiction isn't just about pleasure. It's about attachment. And often, it's an attachment not only to pleasure… but to pain.In this episode, I explore a side of porn addiction recovery that almost no one talks about: grieving your porn addiction.Whether you realize it or not, porn has likely been a relationship in your life — a companion you turned to for comfort, escape, connection, control, or relief from emotional pain. And when you try to quit porn without understanding what it's been doing for you emotionally, your nervous system resists. That's why porn cravings feel so powerful. That's why relapse feels inevitable. And that's why so many men stay stuck in shame-based cycles.We dive deep into the psychology and neuroscience of porn addiction, including:Why your brain can become attached to both pleasure and punishmentHow early emotional wounds and trauma shape porn useWhy your sexual fantasies aren't random — and what they reveal about unmet emotional needsHow attachment to familiarity (even painful familiarity) keeps porn addiction aliveWhy willpower alone fails — and what actually leads to lasting recoveryI also walk you through a step-by-step emotional process for grieving porn — not shaming it, not white-knuckling it, but understanding it — so you can finally leave it behind without fear, self-hatred, or constant relapse.If you're tired of fighting yourself… If you feel disconnected from your body, your relationships, or your purpose… If quitting porn feels harder than it “should”…You're not broken. And you're not weak.You may simply be trying to walk away from something your nervous system believes it still needs — without honoring the grief underneath it.This episode will help you understand:What porn has been symbolically trying to give youWhat you're afraid of losing if you let it goAnd how to meet those needs in ways that actually align with who you areThis is porn addiction recovery rooted in psychology, emotional healing, and compassion — not fear or control.Listen in, and let's talk about the real path to freedom.Link to Blog Article for this episodeIf you're looking for deeper support and real connection in recovery, I'm opening the No More Desire Brotherhood on January 15th.

In today's Let's Talk conversation, Coach Che Marville sits down with two extraordinary Canadian leaders in autism education: Dr. Am Badwall, founder of Missing Links Autism, and Dr. Michael John Daniels, an educator and administrator whose friendship and professional partnership span decades.Drawing from over 50 years of combined experience, Am and Michael offer an honest, heart-opening look into:Why traditional ABA became rigid, outdated, and disconnected from real human needsHow families feel unseen, unheard, and judged — and why relief comes when they finally feel understoodThe cultural blind spots that left racialized families behindWhy "success" cannot be measured by making autistic children appear neurotypicalThe emotional weight families carry when shame and social exclusion limit daily lifeThe evolution from compliance-based programs to a modern, compassionate modelHow Progressive ABA centres dignity, autonomy, consent, and meaningful learningThe role of culture, community, and authentic listening in shaping real outcomesThe powerful story of Am and Michael's friendship — and how grief, love, and fate brought them togetherThis episode is a call to rethink everything we assume about autism intervention.

I see your child." — Dr. Am Badwall"Success isn't about making a child indistinguishable from their peers, it's about honouring who they truly are." — Dr. Michael John Daniels."We're not rejecting the science; we're rejecting outdated practices that don't reflect what we now know about neurodiversity." — Dr. Am Badwall."We want to give children access, agency, and tools, not reshape their identity." — Dr. Michael John Daniels."Relief comes from being seen, being heard, and not being judged." — Dr. Am Badwall.Missing Links Autismhttps://missinglinks.caProgressive ABA Networkhttps://progressiveabanetwork.caBook: Abandoning Traditional Autism Programming with a Modern Approach (Insert Amazon link)Founder & Executive Director of Missing Links Autism.

In this episode, I talk with coach and host of The Highly Sensitive Woman podcast, Allyssya Gossett. Sensitivity has shaped Allyssya's life and how she moves through the world, and now she helps other highly sensitive women understand that nothing is “wrong” with them, but that there's actually incredible strength in the way they're wired. Today, we talk about what it means to be highly sensitive and how embracing your sensitivity allows you to live more authentically. Here's what we cover:The definition of a highly sensitive person and how to recognize the signs in yourselfHow I discovered my sensitivity after years of not having the language for itThe wide spectrum of sensitivity and how it shows up differently for everyoneBarriers that prevent sensitive women from understanding and honoring their needsHow embracing your sensitivity empowers you to advocate for yourself without shameResources for learning how to take care of yourself as a highly sensitive person For decades, Allyssya struggled to believe she was worthy of taking up space in the world. She listened to society's rules for how she “should” be or feel, made herself small to accommodate others, and tried to put herself in a box just to fit in. Not embracing her true self led to years of debilitating anxiety and depression. Once she embraced who she is and how she was created, Allyssya learned to challenge those old beliefs, stop worrying so much about what others think of her, and step outside her comfort zone so she could confidently live a life she created instead of one chosen for her. The self-acceptance journey fueled her passion for sharing her experiences and knowledge with others as a life coach and podcast host, helping other highly sensitive women just like her let go of self-doubt, find their voice, and live with internal peace and bold confidence.Find Allyssya here:info@allyssya.coach https://www.instagram.com/lifecoach_allyssyahttps://www.facebook.com/lifecoachallyssya https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-highly-sensitive-woman-confidence-set-boundariesFind 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?

In this episode of All About Capital Campaigns, Amy Eisenstein welcomes nonprofit leader, coach, and advocate Joan Garry for an inspiring conversation about how development directors and nonprofit executives can maintain optimism, motivate their teams, and rethink what fundraising success looks like in challenging times.Joan Garry is an internationally recognized champion for the nonprofit sector, an executive coach for top nonprofit leaders, founder of the Nonprofit Leadership Lab, and host of her own podcast and blog. With decades of experience across nearly every role in nonprofit leadership, she brings both practical strategies and heartfelt encouragement to the discussion.Together, Amy and Joan explore how nonprofit professionals can reframe fundraising from a stressful numbers game into an opportunity for donors to feel connected, valued, and part of meaningful impact.They discuss:Why development directors often struggle with discouragement when revenue sources shiftHow focusing solely on total dollars raised can create a harmful and unrealistic definition of successAlternative metrics to measure fundraising effectiveness, including donor retention rates, board engagement, and stewardship practicesThe importance of innovation and creativity in fundraising, with real-world examples of organizations trying bold approaches to meet urgent needsHow leaders can support staff through professional development, peer learning, and community support to build confidence and resilienceThe role of board members in donor stewardship and why even simple gestures from board leaders can significantly strengthen relationshipsPractical steps for reconnecting with the mission, “touching the work,” and finding inspiration that replenishes energy for fundraisers and leaders alikeListeners will hear stories ranging from a climate change think tank tapping into untapped expertise in Washington, to LGBTQ advocacy groups addressing urgent needs through imaginative funding models, to a legal nonprofit rethinking the concept of a capital campaign by focusing on “human capital.” These examples highlight what is possible when leaders are willing to experiment and redefine what success looks like.Joan also shares advice on how nonprofit executives can manage fear, support their fundraising staff, and avoid the trap of holding onto poor performance because of the myth that strong development professionals are scarce. She emphasizes the importance of professional development and investment in fundraisers, noting that providing learning opportunities is a powerful way to strengthen skills and morale.Amy and Joan both highlight the value of peer communities—whether through Capital Campaign Pro's weekly mastermind groups or the Nonprofit Leadership Lab's global membership network—where nonprofit leaders can share challenges, celebrate wins, and draw inspiration from one another.Whether you are an executive director, development officer, or board member, this conversation will help you see fundraising in a new light. By focusing on relationships, creativity, and inspiration, nonprofit leaders can foster resilience and optimism in their organizations even when external challenges feel overwhelming.For more free capital campaign resources, visit https://capitalcampaignpro.com/campaign-resources.

You'll hear honest conversations about:Why the “checklist mentality” can create distance instead of connectionPractical ways to lower unrealistic expectations while still honoring emotional and relational needsHow to create an environment where both spouses feel valued and desiredWhether you've felt like intimacy is always “just out of reach” or you're the one needing certain things in place before feeling ready, this episode will give you insight, encouragement, and tools to bring more connection and fulfillment into your marriage.If you haven't already, go check out the Ultimate Intimacy App in the app stores, or at ultimateintimacy.com to find "Ultimate Intimacy" in your marriage.

If you're a parent of a highly sensitive child, you know that planning a simple trip to the park can feel like orchestrating a military operation.

We can't believe that it's already been more than four decades since we walked down the aisle to say our “I do's”. Would you believe that our first big argument occurred on our honeymoon? We had a lot of good times in those early years, but they were also the beginning of some recurring conflicts and struggles for us. As we reflect back on 42 years of marriage, one of the things that has made a big difference in the health of our relationship is learning how to make requests instead of hoping, wishing, or hinting at what we wanted or needed. In today's conversation, we are discussing why this was a game-changer and how you can incorporate this practice into your own marriage. In this episode, you'll learn about:The importance of discovering your needsHow hinting and hoping can damage your marriageHow unexpressed expectations build resentmentAnd more!We hope this skill is as beneficial for your relationship as it has been in our marriage!Find resources mentioned and more in the show notes: jillsavage.org/hint-hope-253Check out our other resources: Mark and Jill's Marriage Story Marriage Coaching Marriage 2.0 Intensives Speaking Schedule Book Mark and Jill to Speak Online Courses Books Marriage Resources: Infidelity Recovery For Happy Marriages For Hurting Marriages For Marriages Where You're the Only One Wanting to Get Help Mom Resources: New/Preschool Moms Moms with Gradeschoolers Moms with Teens and Tweens Moms with Kids Who Are Launching Empty Nest...
