Could the way you cope with stress be silently sabotaging your life? Quick Tips

Please take our new listener survey - four simple questions that will help me make a better podcast for you! Safe Survey Link
Last week we dropped an episode talking about porn addiction. A subject we don't always talk about here on LFPWLI.  If you only had five minutes with our podcast - what would I want you to know? This quick-hits podcast answers that question.
Coach Frank had this to say:
“You might be a porn addict if you lean on it as your go-to method for stress relief or emotional escape. If every time you feel stressed, anxious, or rejected—perhaps after a long day or a lonely night—you turn to porn for comfort, then it has become your crutch. It’s not merely about sexual desire; it’s an emotional safety net. Every time you promise yourself it’s the last time, but then find yourself back on that screen, it’s a clear signal. Look in the mirror. If the man you see isn’t someone you’re proud of because of this habit, it’s time to confront the issue head-on.”
 
Thank you for being here and if you know someone who needs to hear this, please send it there way.

Let go: Overcoming Porn Addiction with Coach Frank
In this episode, you'll hear:
- Early exposure to pornography and its long-term effects
- The role of identity transformation in recovery
- Strategies for overcoming porn addiction
- Advice for partners of those struggling with addiction
Join Mathew Blades as he sits down with Coach Frank and Dr. Frank Bevacqua to explore the complex world of porn addiction. Coach Frank shares his personal journey through a 20-year addiction, highlighting how early exposure shaped his understanding of relationships. The discussion reveals how porn addiction often masks deeper emotional issues, serving as a coping mechanism rather than a mere sexual outlet.
Coach Frank emphasizes the necessity of identity transformation in recovery, advocating for a fundamental shift in self-perception. Physical fitness emerges as a powerful tool in this process, aiding in building confidence and altering self-image. The conversation also offers practical advice for partners, stressing the importance of avoiding guilt and shame while engaging in mutual healing.
Notable quotes include Coach Frank's insight: "I think sitting at the foundation and root of all success in recovery or the journey to freedom sits in identity change or identity transformation." Dr. Bavacqua adds, "Unfortunately, now there is the shared responsibility of how do I heal the parts of me that were hurt by this?"
Explore the journey to freedom from porn addiction and discover the tools needed for a transformative recovery.

A note from our partner, Better Than Bitter:
Divorce isn’t just a life transition - it’s a full-blown identity shift. One day, you’re a partner, a parent, and a planner for the future. The next? You’re staring at paperwork, lawyer fees, and the overwhelming question: ‘What now?’
I know it’s hard. That’s why we’ve created these courses - to give you courage, clarity, communication tools, and the support you need to move forward with confidence

Please take our new listener survey - four simple questions that will help me make a better podcast for you! Safe Survey Link
 
If you could only listen to five minutes of my podcast? What would I want you to know?  That is why we're here today. I will be dropping more of these short versions in the spirit of those two questions. Last week, we welcomed Dr. Friedemann Schaub, author of "The Fear and Anxiety Solution" and "The Empowerment Solution."
Dr. Schaub shares his journey of growing up with anxious parents who survived World War II, revealing how their fears shaped his own anxiety and obsessive-compulsive behaviors. Dr. Schaub offers strategies for working with the subconscious, and in today's clip, he offers the strategy that changed his life.
