Porn isn’t your biggest problem — it’s just your loudest symptom.

In this episode, we break down why porn is often just a coping mechanism, not the core issue. The real issue? Emotional pain you’ve never learned how to face. Whether it’s shame, unmet needs, or unresolved trauma, we explore how unwanted sexual behavior is rooted in your relational story — and how freedom comes not by fixing the behavior, but by healing the pain beneath it.

Also… yes, we talk Happy Meal toys, Power Rangers, and Space Jam plushies. And we bring back the fan-favorite: Restoration Soul Care’s attachment tissues.

🔑 In This Episode:

• Why porn is the smoke, not the fire
• Why behavior modification doesn’t work long-term
• How emotional pain drives compulsive behavior
• The deep relational roots of coping strategies
• How attachment styles influence your sexual struggles
• Why healing starts with curiosity, not condemnation

💬 Reflection Questions:

• What pain are you avoiding?
• How did your family of origin shape your coping strategies?
• What need is your porn use trying to meet?

If you want to heal, you have to feel.

In this episode, we unpack why emotions aren’t the problem — avoiding them is. Using Voice of the Heart as our guide, we explore how every feeling carries both a gift and an impairment. We take a close look at how shame and guilt show up in the recovery journey — and how learning to feel them rightly can actually move us toward healing instead of keeping us stuck.

And yes… we even manage to work the Ninja Turtles into the conversation.

🔑 In This Episode:

• Why feeling your feelings is essential for healing
• The 8 core feelings: the gift and the impairment of each
• How shame and guilt operate in addiction and recovery
• The danger of emotional avoidance
• Why God designed emotions as signals, not enemies
• What the Ninja Turtles teach us about emotional health
