From Monk to Porn Addiction Recovery Expert

Welcome to the podcast. Today we're going to talk about a very important topic that is definitely not appropriate if there are kids around. So just a little heads up there. We're going to briefly talk about the prevalence and impact of pornography. How it affects relationships, the hidden costs and subtle ways it changes how we see the world. We also talk about the impact it has on the younger generation and other challenges associated with sexual disfunction.   But fear not, we actually spend the majority of our time talking about addressing the root causes that drive our need to distract in unhealthy ways, how to cultivate more self-compassion and so much more. I found Jeremy to be one of the most grounded and thoughtful guests that I've ever had the pleasure of speaking with and I can't wait for you to meet him!   But before we jump in, I have a couple of quick announcements. The first is I will be publishing a new series of episodes called the self help junkie that will come out early in the week. So I wanted to avoid any confusion if you see extra episodes. My co-host Victoria and I will be discussing a topic, starting with self-esteem, define what it is, why it's important, and offer 3 action you can take to start improving in that area. The following week we'll talk about how it went, outcomes if we did the action items, or problem solve for challenges.   The whole idea behind this project is that there are so many of us who are seekers, and while it's great to educate yourself. gain insight and get a dopamine hit, without action, well it's kinda pointless. Like the old saying goes, if nothing changes, nothing changes. And mood follows action, so we're going to break down topics so that you can establish the why behind the action so that you can make these changes a priority.   And the second thing is that if you do listen to the series, we want to hear from you! So send me your questions and comments to [email protected].   I'm really excited to share this conversation with Jeremy, so without further delay, please enjoy this episode and let me know what you think!   Connect with here: Visit Website: https://www.jeremylipkowitz.com/ Follow on Instagram:    Subscribe So You Don't Miss New Episodes!   Listen On:   Apple Podcasts https://apple.co/30g6ALF   Spotify https://odaatchat.libsyn.com/spotify   Amazon Music      Watch Full Episodes on YouTube! https://bit.ly/2UpR5Lo
