How Has Porn Affected Your Life?

Episode 1: Jonathan's Personal Journey

 Episode Summary:

In our debut episode, Heidi takes on the role of interviewer as Jonathan shares his deeply personal journey with pornography. Together, we dive into the real problem behind porn (hint: it’s not what you think) and unpack the road to recovery. Along the way, Jonathan shares the false beliefs he had to deconstruct, the emotional and relational impact, and the tools he’s found most helpful in rebuilding his life and relationships. This episode is about more than just a conversation—it’s an invitation to lean into the tough topics and start the work of healing.

Key Takeaways:

  • The real problem behind porn—it’s deeper than just the behavior.

  • How false beliefs around identity, shame, and control can fuel the cycle.

  • The role of safety, honesty, and emotional healing in recovery.

  • Practical steps for addressing addiction and rebuilding trust.
