81: Breaking Free From Porn Addiction & Reconnecting to Your Highest Self with Zack Blakeney

In this episode of The Modern Man, I welcome Zack Blakeney, a spiritual porn recovery coach who empowers men to quit porn for good, heal the shame associated with it, and rise to the highest version of themselves. Zack is here to shed light on his dark, yet profound experience recovering from a 16-year porn addiction, and what you can do if you're in a similar place. He addresses the impact that society's shame around sex has on men, then gives you actionable steps and advice on how to quit porn for good and move forward in life without shame.

You'll hear Zack's insights on how to leverage the energy of "doing" instead of "trying" to quit your unhealthy habit and why that's a crucial distinction. Plus, you'll learn ways to rebuild your personal relationships (and your relationship with yourself) after porn addiction.

Are you using porn in a way that doesn't align with you? Do you feel shameful or secretive about your porn usage? Zack has the framework you need to break free from your usage/addiction and feel like your best self.

Remember, things that you would call miracles are an everyday occurrence when you do the inner work.

"The things that we're proud of, we openly talk about. The things that we're shameful about, we hide. The hard part about this is that when we're hiding things, it's not like it doesn't exist; it empowers it to take more control over us." – Zack Blakeney

"For men that are trying to push themselves to the next level of who they are… you can't get there until you start to confront the things that are preventing you from being that."

– Zack Blakeney
