In today’s episode of the "Porn to Purpose" podcast, I’m joined by Coach Yeadon Smith for an open and honest discussion about the signs that indicate it’s time to rethink your relationship with pornography. We reflect on our personal experiences, the emotional and psychological impact of porn use, and how to recognize when it’s affecting your life negatively. We also explore the role of shame, social conditioning, and disconnection in maintaining the cycle of addiction. Most importantly, we share insights on how to break free and reclaim true intimacy and connection.
