EP 123: Fathering Your Inner Child: The Missing Key in Pørn Addiction Recovery
In today’s episode of the Porn to Purpose podcast, I sat down with Coach Yeadon to unpack a powerful story that unexpectedly cracked open a deeper truth about healing. What started as a simple moment—getting the family dog from his son’s bed—turned into a vivid example of how the inner child still lives in us, how triggers hijack our nervous system, and how porn has historically been our escape hatch when emotional chaos strikes. We explore how recovery isn’t about managing behavior—it’s about learning to respond to the fear, shame, and panic that still live in the body. Yeadon breaks down what it looks like to show up for yourself in those moments, to become the grounded father your inner child never had, and to stop handing the wheel to the boy who just wants relief. This conversation is a deep dive into emotional mastery, self-parenting, and how we transform shame into strength. Top 10 Show Highlights: [00:15] Welcome listeners back to the Porn to Purpose podcast. [01:15] Yeadon introduces the story of his son’s fear and the title: “The Night My Inner Child Woke Up.” [04:44] His son wakes in terror—mirroring the very same disoriented, fear-based responses Yeadon often feels when emotionally triggered. [06:14] “I’m not okay”—Yeadon explains how our inner child often gets activated and how unsafe it can feel in the body. [07:30] The link between emotional overwhelm and the addict’s urge to reach for porn as a way to feel "okay." [08:43] A separate moment: an innocent comment from Yeadon’s wife triggers a full internal shame response. [09:41] He breaks down how trauma responses aren’t about logic—they’re about patterning and nervous system memory. [10:45] How the smallest things can send us spiraling when deeper emotional wounds go unaddressed. [12:30] What it means to “father yourself” and offer the calm, safe presence your younger self never received. [14:15] Recovery as re-parenting: why real freedom comes when we stop escaping and start nurturing the part of us that’s still afraid.

EP 122: Is M@sturbation Without Pørn Still a Problem?
In today’s episode of the “Porn to Purpose” podcast, we tackle one of the most common questions on the recovery journey: “Can I still masturbate if I’m not watching pørn?” This discussion uncovers the hidden traps of swapping pørn for masturbation without addressing the deeper emotional and psychological drivers, showing how this substitution can keep you stuck in the same cycle, outsourcing intimacy to fantasy, and capping your personal growth, intimacy, and masculine power. Whether you’re just starting out or have been pørn-free for months, this episode will help you spot hidden patterns, face uncomfortable truths, and take real steps toward lasting freedom. Top 10 Show Highlights: [00:12] Introduction to the question: “Can I still masturbate without pørn?” [01:40] How “The Substitution Trap” keeps men stuck in the same addictive cycle. [02:35] Why quitting pørn doesn’t automatically mean you’re free from compulsion. [03:50] The dangers of outsourcing intimacy to fantasy instead of real connection. [05:01] How rebranded coping mechanisms keep you from true recovery. [06:20] The deep connection between shame, guilt, and early sexual conditioning. [07:43] The real question to ask: not “Can I?” but “Why am I?” [08:12] How compulsive masturbation impacts emotional health, focus, and drive. [09:35] The “glass ceiling” effect on personal growth and masculine development. [10:50] Encouragement to seek deeper healing and join a supportive brotherhood.

EP 121: Inside the Bubble: Why You Relapse (And How to Stop It for Good)

EP 121: Inside the Bubble: Why You Relapse (And How to Stop It for Good)
In today’s episode of the Porn to Purpose podcast, I’m joined by Coach Yeadon as we dive into one of the most important and often overlooked parts of the recovery journey—what we in the rooms call “The Bubble.” It’s that foggy mental space where logic disappears, the addict voice takes over, and we end up doing things we swore we’d never do again. We unpack a heartbreaking real-life story about a father whose compulsive behavior led to a devastating moment of neglect—one that could’ve ended in tragedy. It was a powerful reminder for both of us of where this path can lead when left unchecked. From there, we explore how our inner dialogue—when left unspoken—can talk us into relapse, and how visibility and brotherhood are the keys to real transformation. Top 10 Show Highlights: [01:00] The story of a father’s addiction gone too far—and the tragic consequences that followed. [03:49] Why addiction isn't just about impulse—but deep emotional wounds left unaddressed. [07:09] Introduction to “The Bubble”—a dissociative state where clear thinking disappears. [08:40] How rationalizing thoughts lead men to break their own values. [10:33] What it feels like to be “in the bubble”—and how time distortion plays a role in relapse. [12:27] Why men constantly think they’re the exception—and how that keeps them stuck. [15:31] The addict voice that shows up like a friend—and how to spot its deception. [17:46] How visibility and community support lead to clarity, healing, and power. [19:21] Why emotional awareness is essential—and how most men were never taught it. [24:58] An overview of the Four R.A.C. Formula from the Liberation Boot Camp.

EP 120: The Substitution Trap
In today's episode of the Pørn to Purpose podcast, we dive into a deceptive trap that keeps men stuck in addiction—even after they’ve technically quit watching pørn. Coach Yeadon shares a vulnerable and powerful personal story from early in his marriage when he thought he was escaping pørn… but had simply swapped it for another addiction. This episode confronts the myth of willpower, the lie of substitution, and the deeper truth that real recovery isn’t about quitting pørn—it’s about healing the pain beneath it. If you’ve ever swapped one behavior for another and still felt stuck, numb, or triggered—this episode is your wake-up call. Discover why it’s not a pørn problem—it’s a pain problem, and what you must do to finally break free. Top 10 Show Highlights: [00:29] – Introduction to the episode and Yeadon’s story from early marriage [01:51] – Working in ministry while secretly battling pørn addiction [02:20] – The only tools Yeadon had: guilt, shame, and white-knuckling [03:13] – How he substituted video games to avoid watching pørn [05:13] – The hidden truth: the game was just another dopamine hit [06:21] – Understanding that he never healed—he just distracted himself [07:08] – "It’s not a pørn problem. It’s a pain problem." [08:04] – Why substitution is not recovery and never leads to true freedom [09:01] – The lie of distraction: you’re playing a game, but still thinking about pørn [10:08] – The need to heal your pain at the root, not just manage symptoms Linked List of Sites or Resources Mentioned: Learn More About the Liberation Bootcamp: Join the Porn to Purpose Community on Facebook:

EP 119: Visibility Breeds Integrity

EP 119: Visibility Breeds Integrity
In today’s episode of the Porn to Purpose podcast, Coach Yeadon and I explore how visibility plays a vital role in building integrity throughout the pørn recovery process. So many men try to white-knuckle it in the dark, believing secrecy is the only way to protect themselves. But what I’ve come to learn—and what we discuss in this episode—is that being seen is actually one of the fastest ways to grow. We talk about the resistance many of us feel toward being public or open about our struggle with pørn. We discuss the fears of being judged, exposed, or misunderstood—and how those fears are almost never realized. We also dig into how accountability, leadership, and visibility don’t just keep us in line, they elevate us. Top 10 Show Highlights: [00:12] Kicking off the episode with a reflection on consistency and showing up. [00:55] Breaking down the theme of the episode: visibility breeds integrity. [01:53] The role public visibility played in launching Matt’s personal recovery and coaching journey. [03:20] How sharing your pørn recovery story publicly can deepen your commitment. [04:13] Weekly tracker check-ins as an example of applied accountability in the community. [05:10] Coach Yeadon’s reflections on his previous career as a health coach and the power of being seen. [06:36] The internal fear of sharing publicly about pørn recovery—and what actually happened. [07:34] Stepping into integrity and leadership through transparency. [08:03] How leadership in the community reinforces integrity and healing through service. [09:37] Coach Yeadon shares how none of the feared judgment ever materialized when he became visible.

08/13/2025
EP 118: Should You Tell Her? What to Do If you've Been Hiding Your Pørn Habit...
In today’s episode of the Porn to Purpose podcast, I sit down with Coach Yeadon to tackle one of the most gut-wrenching and pivotal questions a man can face in his recovery journey: “Should I tell her?” Whether you're married, dating, or in any form of committed relationship, this episode dives deep into the emotional and relational weight of hiding a porn habit. We explore the spiritual and psychological costs of secrecy, the deadly role of shame, and what true transparency and integrity require. You’ll learn when and how to approach the conversation, the role of community in preparing for disclosure, and why doing your work before you speak is critical. Top 10 Show Highlights: [00:12] Welcome and introduction to today’s critical topic: “Should I tell her?” [01:03] The emotional burden of hiding porn use in a relationship. [01:31] The impact of porn on intimacy and why this conversation matters deeply. [02:48] Why there’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but why the conversation likely needs to happen. [03:16] How shame grows in secrecy — and dies in the light. [04:17] Understanding why you're sharing: guilt relief vs. relational integrity. [06:06] A therapist’s advice: “Are you telling her to feel forgiven, or to let her know the full you?” [07:29] The danger of making the disclosure all about you — and the pain it causes. [08:00] The power of community, mentorship, and counsel before disclosure. [08:56] Who to seek advice from — and why the wrong people will just normalize porn.

EP 117: Yeadon's Story
In this powerful episode of the Porn to Purpose podcast, I sit down with Yeadon Smith—entrepreneur, husband, father of four, and now 900 days pørn-free. From the outside, Yeadon looked like he had it all: success, family, even a yacht. But inside, he was trapped—buried in shame, silently battling a pørn addiction he couldn’t talk about, even in therapy. What changed? A wake-up call from his wife and the realization that “hope” wasn’t enough to protect his sons from the same struggle. Yeadon joined the Liberation Boot Camp not just to break free—but to break the cycle. In this episode, he shares how real healing began when he stopped hiding, started doing the work, and finally led his family with honesty, strength, and purpose. Top 10 Show Highlights: [00:21] Yeadon’s backstory: youth ministry, business success, and hidden addiction. [03:56] What his wife said that triggered his journey: “You’re dying on the inside.” [06:30] Lying to his therapist out of fear—even while seeking help for other issues. [08:25] How fatherhood—and fear for his sons—pushed him to finally act. [10:40] Why “hope” is not a strategy when it comes to protecting your kids from pørn. [12:15] Joining Liberation Boot Camp with the intention of breaking generational chains. [16:05] The language of shame in the church—and why it kept him silent. [22:45] The paradigm shift: pørn as a coping mechanism, not a moral failure. [25:10] Tools from the Liberation Boot Camp that changed everything (4RAC Formula, zero-day doc, emotional awareness). [32:50] The ripple effect: how healing from pørn impacted his marriage, parenting, and business.

EP 116: This One Habit Is Keeping You Trapped in the Shame Cycle
In today’s episode of the Pørn to Purpose podcast, we tackle the hidden force keeping most men trapped in a vicious loop of relapse and regret: isolation. Coach Yeadon and I expose the damaging belief that you have to fight your battle with pørn addiction alone — and why that belief is the doorway to shame, secrecy, and stagnation. This conversation dives deep into the shame cycle — how secrecy breeds guilt, guilt leads to relapse, and the loop repeats endlessly. You'll learn why silence isn't strength, why connection is the antidote, and how speaking up in safe spaces can be the first true step toward lasting freedom. If you’ve ever told yourself “I’ll deal with this on my own,” this episode will shake you awake and show you the path out. Top 10 Show Highlights: [01:23] Introduction to the topic: “The one thing keeping you trapped in the shame cycle.” [02:50] Why the belief “I can do this alone” is the root of the problem for most men. [03:22] “Shame thrives in the darkness” — the destructive power of secrecy. [03:50] The #1 habit keeping most men stuck: fighting pørn addiction in isolation. [05:16] Fear of judgment, rejection, and appearing weak — how these lies keep you hidden. [05:45] “Shame dies when stories are told in safe spaces” — the power of vulnerability. [06:36] Breaking down the shame cycle: urges, secrecy, relapse, repeat. [08:18] “You don’t have a pørn problem. You have a pain problem.” [10:19] How to begin breaking the cycle: speak to someone safe. [17:45] “You don’t get free and then tell the truth. You tell the truth — and then you get free.” Linked List of Sites or Resources Mentioned: Learn More About the Liberation Boot Camp: Join the Pørn to Purpose Community on Facebook:

EP 115: The Secret to Recovery (Isn't a Secret)
In today’s episode of the Pørn to Purpose podcast, I’m joined by Coach Yeadon, who shares an incredible story of breakthrough—not just in weight loss, but in reclaiming personal integrity. After tracking his food intake for 106 days and losing 25 pounds of fat, Coach Yeadon draws the powerful parallel between tracking physical habits and overcoming pørn addiction. This episode is a raw, honest reflection on how self-deception and emotional escape mechanisms feed addictive behavior—and how structure, accountability, and radical ownership are the keys to lasting freedom. Coach Yeadon reveals how tracking helped him get out of denial and into alignment with the man he truly wanted to be. This is a must-listen for any man who’s tired of lying to himself, tired of slipping back into pørn, and ready to take his integrity, health, and purpose seriously. Top 10 Show Highlights: [00:35] Coach Yeadon explains how 106 days of food tracking led to a 25-pound fat loss—and why that matters for pørn recovery. [01:57] Matt and Yeadon talk about the illusion of control and how pørn addiction hides behind “harmless” habits. [03:09] The power of hitting rock bottom—how a single moment on the scale triggered a full-life transformation. [04:52] “That which is measured improves”—Matt introduces the tracking mindset that changed everything. [05:56] The difference between external pressure (like being seen by a client) vs. internal alignment and ownership. [06:46] Why building muscle and running marathons still didn’t address the deeper lack of control. [07:16] Coach Yeadon reveals how watching his wife track food religiously inspired his own turnaround. [08:20] “It wasn’t just about weight—I was out of integrity.” A confession that hits home for every man hiding behind pørn. [09:14] The deeper truth: food and pørn are both escapes. If you're not facing your pain, you're feeding your addiction. [10:42] How structure and tracking help men stop drifting and start leading—with intentionality and purpose.

EP 114: The Two Rung Ladder That Keeps You Stuck in Pørn
In this episode of the Pørn to Purpose Podcast, I’m joined by Coach Yeadon to unpack one of the most frustrating struggles men face in recovery—the feeling that no matter how hard you try, you just keep falling short. We call it the “two-rung ladder.” It’s that trap of trying to leap from addiction to total sobriety overnight… and always crashing back down. Coach Yeadon and I talk about why white-knuckling your way through pørn addiction doesn’t work, and how to finally build a framework that does. You’ll learn about the Zero Day Doc, a powerful tool born from my own relapse, that helps you analyze exactly what went wrong—and how to bounce back stronger. If you’re tired of starting over, this one’s for you. Top 10 Show Highlights: [00:31] Yeadon introduces the concept of the “two-rung ladder” and why recovery often feels impossible. [01:58] The crushing spiral of shame, guilt, and fear that keeps men stuck. [02:58] Why willpower alone doesn’t work—and what happens when you’re just “hanging” on that top rung. [04:33] How strength training revealed a powerful metaphor for long-term recovery. [06:17] Matt shares how he created a step-by-step recovery system through his work with a coach. [07:46] Introduction of the Zero Day Doc—the forensic tool for relapse analysis. [08:43] Questions from the Zero Day Doc that uncover triggers, breakdowns, and blind spots. [10:13] The importance of replacing guilt with investigation and self-compassion. [12:12] Why pørn is a failed coping mechanism that “almost works”—but never truly satisfies. [18:58] The power of community, transparency, and being witnessed in your recovery.

EP 113: Life on the Other Side of Addiction
In today’s episode of the Pørn to Purpose podcast, I sit down with Coach Yeadon to dive deep into what really happens when you commit to freedom from pørn — and why most men are totally unprepared for what comes next. Spoiler: it’s not just about quitting pørn. It’s about transforming into a better man — one who leads, loves, and lives with purpose. We explore the powerful ripple effects of active recovery — how shedding pørn isn't the end, but the beginning of a new chapter: stronger marriages, deeper fatherhood, more personal integrity, and emotional clarity. If you’ve ever said, “I just want to quit,” this episode will wake you up to what’s actually possible on the other side. Top 10 Show Highlights: [00:12] Welcoming you to the episode and introducing Coach Yeadon. [01:29] Why we recite “How you do anything is how you do everything” — and how it ties to freedom from pørn. [02:00] Pørn recovery isn’t just about quitting — it’s about building a new set of skills to live well [02:29] Coach Yeadon shares how he felt “catfished” by the Bootcamp — came to quit pørn, ended up changing his life. [03:57] Celebrating 865 days sober — and how that transformation has healed his marriage and fatherhood. [04:49] “You don’t have a pørn problem, you have a pain problem.” — Coach Yeadon breaks this wide open. [05:18] Pørn as a coping mechanism — how it became the one thing that offered quick (but false) peace. [06:08] Real-life examples of fatherhood stress, emotional chaos, and how pørn became the escape. [07:35] The surprising ways that recovery made him a better dad, not just a better man. [08:05] Life on the other side: confidence, clarity, leadership, connection — and why the journey is worth it.

EP 112: The Dark Truth of Solo Recovery
In today’s episode of the Pørn to Purpose podcast, I sit down with Coach Yeadon for a raw, unfiltered conversation about something most men battling pørn addiction try to avoid: solo recovery. We’re exposing the dark truth of trying to “man up” and handle this thing alone. Coach Yeadon shares his own story—how he used all the filters, accountability tools, and white-knuckled willpower… and still stayed stuck. We’re talking about the shame that keeps men isolated, the lies we tell ourselves, and the way pørn thrives in secrecy. Most importantly, we lay out the one thing that truly moves the needle: connection. If you’ve been white-knuckling it, hiding your habit, or waiting until you “get clean” before asking for help—this episode is your wake-up call. Top 10 Show Highlights: [00:12] I introduce today’s theme: the dark truth of solo recovery. [01:24] The secret shame of hidden pørn use—and a gut-check moment: “Would you hand your daughter your phone?” [01:53] “The opposite of addiction is not sobriety—it’s connection.” [03:20] Filters, apps, and promises to loved ones don’t work without real support. [04:06] Coach Yeadon’s confession: “I gave my wife access to my pørn reports... and still found workarounds.” [04:11] “Solo recovery is a trap.” [05:42] The lies that kept us stuck: “I just need more discipline” and “No one needs to know.” [06:42] “I trained for an Ironman. I had discipline. But I was still watching pørn.” [07:12] The lie of waiting: “Once I get clean, then I’ll reach out.” [08:10] Shame thrives in silence. Progress crumbles in isolation.

EP 110: Am I Addicted to Pørn If I Only Watch Once a Week?
In today’s episode of the "Pørn to Purpose" podcast, I sit down with Coach Yeadon to unpack one of the most common questions men ask on the recovery journey: “Am I addicted to Pørn if I only watch it once a week?”. We break down the difference between being “functional” and being truly free, and explore how even low-frequency Pørn-use can still rewire your brain, sabotage intimacy, drain your focus, and erode your integrity over time.

EP 109: 3 Steps to Disrupt the Shame Loop (Before It Pulls You Under)
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.

EP 108: NoFap vs. Real Recovery: Why White-Knuckling It Will Never Set You Free
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. Top 10 Show Highlights: [00:26] Conversation around NoFAP, streaks, and real recovery. [01:34] Defining NoFAP and why it’s not enough to lead to true transformation. [02:05] “NoFAP will get you days on the counter. Real recovery sets you free.” [03:34] The danger of behavior-based change versus identity-level change. [04:26] Why most guys fail: they never address the emotional wounds underneath. [05:01] The missing ingredient in NoFAP: brotherhood and community. [06:01] Porn is the painkiller—not the problem. [07:14] Yeadon shares his breakthrough moment and how healing began. [09:43] Shame dies when stories are told in safe spaces. [12:07] What real recovery requires: tools, accountability, and identity shift.

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. Top 10 Show Highlights: [00:29] Why we keep asking the same question—and why we’ll keep answering it [01:28] “Is porn a problem?” — how that question became the catalyst for change [01:58] The moment you start searching is the moment you already know [03:13] The truth about compartmentalization and why it’s not helping you [04:12] Classic justifications we use: “Every guy does it,” “At least I’m not cheating” [05:36] What white-knuckling really looks like—and why it doesn’t work [06:04] Why hiding it is a sign it’s a problem, even if it hasn’t “ruined” your life [06:42] Buying your own lies: “She knows,” “It’s not that bad,” “It’s just visual” [07:43] Key gut-check questions: Have you tried to quit? Have you failed to? [08:30+] A call to self-inventory—and why integrity is your true north Resources Mentioned: Join the Porn to Purpose Facebook Community: Apply for the Liberation Bootcamp:

EP 105: How to Talk to Your Wife About Porn (Without Destroying Your Marriage)
In this episode of the Porn to Purpose podcast, I sit down with Coach Yeadon to have one of the most uncomfortable—but critical—conversations every man trapped in porn eventually faces: how to talk to your wife about porn. Let’s be real—confessing this kind of struggle feels terrifying. You’re afraid she’ll be crushed. That you’ll lose her trust—or worse, her love. But staying silent? That’s already killing your marriage. Today, Coach Yeadon and I break down what that conversation actually looks like, why timing and honesty matter, and how to lead with truth rather than shame. If you're serious about healing and rebuilding intimacy, this episode will show you how to stop hiding and start communicating with the woman who deserves your full heart.

[08:20] – Why most wives aren’t hurt just by porn—but by the betrayal of being lied to. [09:55] – What real accountability looks like after the conversation. [11:15] – Why “just telling her” isn’t enough—you need a plan for recovery. [13:00] – How the Liberation Bootcamp helps men rebuild from the inside out—and lead with truth.

EP 104: Why Do I Watch Porn Even When I'm not Horny?
In today’s episode of the "Porn to Purpose" podcast, I’m joined by Coach Yeadon as we dive into a question many of us have silently asked ourselves: “Why am I watching porn even when I’m not even horny?” This episode explores the deeper emotional drivers behind porn addiction—stress, anxiety, loneliness, fear, and emotional exhaustion—and why porn becomes our default coping mechanism. Together, we unpack the truth that porn use often has little to do with sex and everything to do with emotional avoidance. We look at how this habit develops, why it “almost works,” and how we’ve been misled into thinking we just have a high sex drive. The truth is, unmet emotional needs are what drive most compulsive behaviors. Yeadon and I also share practical tools and powerful mindset shifts to help you build the capacity to sit with discomfort, regulate your nervous system, and begin choosing healthier ways to meet your needs. Whether you’re just starting out or deep in the work, this conversation offers real insight, emotional clarity, and an invitation to rise above old patterns. Top 10 Show Highlights: [00:12] Matt and Yeadon open with the real question: “Why do I watch porn when I’m not even aroused?” [01:34] Breaking the myth: it’s not about sex, it’s about emotional pain and avoidance. [02:04] A look at how stress, boredom, anxiety, and loneliness fuel compulsive porn use. [03:57] Calling out the lie of the “high sex drive” narrative—porn is not about libido. [05:12] Yeadon shares how emotional overwhelm led to habitual porn use in his past. [06:50] The role of awareness and the HALT check-in: hungry, angry, lonely, tired. [08:42] “Porn almost works”—why short-term relief keeps you stuck in the cycle. [10:12] Training the brain to face pain: how to sit with discomfort and not run. [12:57] Practical tools: breathwork, cold showers, movement, and brotherhood. [15:26] Emotional intelligence: learning to respond, not react—and how to begin that journey.
