Today on the podcast I talk about a framework that I learned which is all about thinking about what you love, and what you want to cultivate in your life, rather than focusing on what you hate or are trying to get away from.
This orientation gives a much stronger fuel source for your recovery. And in this episode I talk about some examples and how to practice it.

Starting at the young age of 10, porn became a habitual escape for me. Over time, I understood that it failed to provide lasting satisfaction, instead wiring my brain for lust. It gave me distorted views on sex and intimacy, drained my energy and focus, and led me to seek novelty over meaningful connections. These insights challenged me to align my habits with my personal growth and purpose. In this episode I share 5 powerful realizations that made me quit watching porn - for good!
