The Recovered Dad Podcast


May 28, 2025

In this episode of the Porn to Purpose podcast, we dive into one of the most important questions a man can ask: “Do I actually have a porn problem?”

I’m joined by Coach Yeadon as we get brutally honest about how porn quietly chips away at your integrity, marriage, energy, and mental clarity—even if it hasn’t “wrecked your life.” If you’ve ever questioned your habit, this one’s for you.

We unpack the real signs of porn addiction, the lies we tell ourselves to minimize it, and the emotional pain we’re often medicating with porn. For most men, porn isn’t the core issue—it’s the symptom.

Whether you’re single, married, spiritual, or just sick of the shame cycle—this episode will help you face the truth and take your first step toward freedom.
