Insecurities, Redefining Masculinity & Overcoming Pornography Addiction with Kieran Hedley

Kieran Hedley is an Anxiety Coach, Meditation Guide and Waterfall Adventurer from New Zealand. He considers himself blessed to have been through his own darkness and fear, his own anxiety and hopelessness... to have come out the other side in a progressive way through the exposure to the median between the science and the spiritual. Through loneliness and never feeling good enough, Kieran was unsure about the journey of acquiring Freedom Within. He wanted proof. He wanted logic. But, without being able to logically explain the way he was, he would seek reason. This only lead to many failed attempts with councillors, psychologists and medication. Finding the answers alone didn't change the way he was. Today, that freedom is something Kieran lives. The ability to decide how he wants to be, rather than having a person, situation or experience decide. It's something he now guides and coaches others to do for themselves. Today Kieran touches on: sitting with the really uncomfortable feelings that may be coming up for you in quarantine and dealing with them rather than ignoring them or continue stuffing them down redefining masculinity exploring the insecurities that come with the societal definition of masculinity  the sense of control that can come with accessing pornography rather than having the actual human interaction, and the impossible standards that porn can set. Along with the communication issues and lack of connection when dependent on porn for pleasure in place of the human interaction or relationship Kieran is one of the most pure, beautiful souls I think I've ever met and that shines through in today's interview with him.  You can find Kieran online at the links below, and please don't forget to check out the bonus episode that dropped today as well, where Kieran turns the tables and interviews me about The 9 Year Affair.  He asks some really deep and amazing questions, that have me digging deeper into my story than I ever have.
