Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”

A hidden magazine in fifth grade. A dopamine hit. A secret that follows a boy into high school, dating, and marriage. That’s how our conversation starts, and from there we get honest about why porn isn’t just a bad habit—it’s a widespread, tech-fueled crisis that reshapes the brain, hollows out intimacy, and turns love into consumption. With coach and founder Steve O’Connor from Catholics Fight Porn, we unpack how a culture of access and silence traps good men and women in cycles of shame.

We dig into emotional regulation—what to do when stress, boredom, or rejection hit—and how to rewire reward pathways with small, repeatable actions like check-ins, movement, and breath. You’ll hear why filters and wise phones help, but why accountability and brotherhood are the multiplier.

We also face the damage inside marriages. Betrayal trauma is real. If you or someone you love is struggling, you’re not alone and you’re not doomed. Listen, share, and then take one step: reach out for help, join a group, or set a boundary today. If this conversation helped, follow the show, leave a review, and pass it to a friend who needs hope.
