In today’s episode of the Porn to Purpose podcast, I’m joined by Coach Yeadon, and we’re diving headfirst into one of the most misunderstood ideas in the recovery world—NoFAP. We’re calling out the truth that simply counting days doesn’t lead to real freedom.
Together, we break down the difference between behavior-based abstinence and true identity-level transformation. I share insights into why white-knuckling your way through a streak doesn’t actually heal the root of the problem, and Yeadon gets real about what finally made the difference for him after decades of struggle.
We unpack how emotional pain, unprocessed trauma, and isolation feed the cycle of p0rn use—and how community, connection, and inner work are the real path to freedom. This episode is for the man who’s tired of “trying harder” and ready to become someone new.
