In this episode of the Pørn to Purpose podcast, I’m joined by Coach Yeadon to expose the hidden cycle that keeps men addicted to pornography—what we call the “shame loop.” If you’ve tried to quit pørn but keep falling back into old patterns of guilt, isolation, and self-condemnation, this conversation is for you. We unpack how shame fuels porn addiction, how it distorts your identity, and most importantly—how to break free using real-world tools from our Liberation Boot Camp and men’s recovery community.
