EP 164: Celebrating How Far I've Come
Jul 1, 2026
In today’s episode of The Recovered Dad Podcast, we reflect on the growth that recovery makes possible and the impact it can have on fatherhood. As Coach Yeadon looks back on recent experiences with his children, he shares how recovery has transformed the way he shows up as a father and why many of the greatest victories in recovery have nothing to do with pornography itself.
Through stories from everyday family life, we explore how recovery develops emotional resilience, strengthens relationships, and creates the capacity to be more present with the people who matter most. Yeadon opens up about the father he used to be, the growth he has experienced over the years, and why taking time to recognize that progress matters. This episode is a powerful reminder that recovery is not simply about breaking free from pornography. It is about becoming a stronger husband, a better father, and a more grounded man.
