They told you masculinity was toxic.
They were wrong.

In this episode, Craig Perra sits down with Geoff Laughton and Mark Johnson, founders of The Undaunted Man, for one of the most raw and powerful conversations you’ll hear this year.

They expose how modern men have been shamed for being masculine, how this has left millions lost, numb, and disconnected, and what it takes to reclaim strength without losing heart.

You’ll learn:

-Why so many men secretly feel broken
-The difference between healthy masculine and unhealthy control
-Why community and brotherhood matter more than ever
-How to be fearless and live with purpose again

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your power, this conversation will wake you up.

In this episode, Coach Craig Perra tackles one of the most controversial and important topics in the church today: why so many faith-based porn recovery programs fail—and how they may actually make things worse (unintentionally of course).

Drawing on over a decade of coaching pastors, Christian leaders, and men of faith, Craig exposes the hidden disconnect between sin-based approaches and neuroscience. He explores why shame-based recovery fuels relapse, why “perfect sobriety” is an illusion, and how Internal Family Systems (IFS) offers a Christ-aligned, science-backed path toward healing.

🔥 Topics Covered:
Why so many pastors secretly struggle with porn
How “don’t lust” and “don’t touch” rules backfire
The dangerous all-or-nothing myth of “perfect sobriety”
The truth about our biology, trauma, and unmet needs
A faith-aligned alternative: leading your “addict part” with grace, not shame

🧠 If you’ve ever felt like your faith and your biology are at war, this episode might change how you see addiction forever.

If you just found out your husband is a sex addict, you’re probably feeling lost, angry, and unsure of what to do next. You’re not alone.

In this episode, Craig talks about what recovery really looks like for couples facing sexual betrayal. He shares the first steps for healing, what to expect during the process, and how to protect your emotional well-being while your partner does the work to change.

You’ll learn why recovery isn’t just about stopping the behavior—it’s about rebuilding honesty, trust, and connection one step at a time.

If you’re ready to start healing, this episode will help you take your first step toward strength and clarity.

Most men want deeper connection with their partner but don’t know how to get there - especially after recovering from sex and porn addiction. The harder they try, the more disconnected it feels.

In this episode, Craig talks with Shana James, author of Honest Sex, A Passionate Path to Deepen Connection and Keep Relationships Alive, about building trust, passion, and truth in your relationship. They explore how fear, shame, and performance keep men from being fully present—and how honesty can actually bring more attraction, safety, and fulfillment into your sex life.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in surface-level intimacy or afraid to express what you really want, this conversation will help you understand how honesty can transform everything.

Takeaway:
Honesty isn’t the end of passion. It’s the beginning of it.

Most men were never taught how to have a healthy sex life. Porn, shame, and silence replaced real intimacy—and it’s destroying connection, confidence, and marriages.

In this episode, Craig talks with men’s coach Rob Kansler about what it really takes to create great sex and a great life. They explore how porn and peak release cycles disconnect men from their partners, why integrity and nervous system regulation are key, and how healthy sexuality transforms everything—from your marriage to your purpose.

If you’re a married man ready to move from addiction and secrecy to clarity, strength, and connection, this conversation will hit home.

If you've ever promised yourself "never again"—only to fall back into the same compulsive patterns—this episode is for you.

In this raw and powerful lesson, Craig Perra, founder of The Mindful Habit System, exposes why the traditional all-or-nothing, abstinence-only model for treating sex and porn addiction keeps men stuck in shame and failure.

In this video, Craig Perra—world-renowned coach and founder of The Mindful Habit System—shares the 5 essential steps that have helped thousands of men overcome porn addiction and transform their lives.

You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.

That quote from Atomic Habits by James Clear changed my life—and in this episode, I’m going to show you why it needs to change yours. If you’re struggling with sex and porn addiction, or supporting someone who is, you’re likely overwhelmed, stuck, and maybe even hopeless.

You’ve tried therapy. Support groups. Willpower. White-knuckling it.

But here’s the truth… ➡️ Sex and porn addiction isn’t a “bad habit.” It’s a deeply entrenched coping strategy—wired in childhood, reinforced by shame, supercharged by biology, and sustained by secrecy.

➡️ Most recovery plans obsess over the problem—but few focus on the systems that build lasting transformation.

➡️ That’s why so many men fail. In this episode, I’ll break down:

• Why this quote is mandatory training if you want to build healthy sexuality and a great life
• Why sex and porn addiction is so hard to break
• How your biology, early exposure, shame, and emotional repression create a perfect storm
• And the 9 essential systems of The Mindful Habit System—developed over 13 years, used by thousands of men, and built to help you take back control of your life

These systems are the foundation for sustained success:

1. Purpose & Direction
2. Risk Management
3. Self-Leadership (including self-control & self-esteem)
4. Accountability
5. Community & Connection
6. Mindfulness & Faith
7. Gratitude
8. Healthy Sexuality

If you don’t have your own system—borrow mine. I’m Craig Perra, founder of The Mindful Habit. I help high-performing professionals—doctors, lawyers, executives, and men around the world—break free from destructive sexual behaviors and create powerful lives rooted in integrity, connection, and purpose.

Resentment is silently fueling your addiction and sabotaging your recovery—and most men don’t even know it’s happening. In this powerful episode of Sex Afflictions & Porn Addictions, Craig Perra, world-renowned coach and creator of The Mindful Habit System, exposes the hidden force that keeps men stuck in cycles of shame, secrecy, and sabotage: resentment. If you're battling sex addiction or porn addiction, chances are you're also fighting a part of you that feels controlled, dismissed, or unheard. That resentful part becomes the justifier—the one who says, “Why bother?”… “She’ll never forgive me”… “I’ll never be good enough.” Inside this episode:

• How resentment becomes the fuel for relapse and acting out
• The truth about your power dynamic post-D-Day (Discovery Day)
• Why traditional therapy often misses this key internal battle
• The game-changing impact of parts work (think Pixar's Inside Out for grown men in recovery)
• How to stop reacting and start leading your resentful part with self-leadership
• And how journaling, awareness, and mindfulness can transform resentment from a saboteur to an ally

You’ll learn why this internal part of you was trained to keep score, how it developed, and how to finally break free by meeting your needs proactively instead of reactively. Whether you're in the early stages of healing or years into recovery, this episode will give you the language, insight, and tools you need to finally stop feeding the wrong wolf—and start taking your power back.

In this powerful episode of Sex Afflictions & Porn Addictions, Craig Perra sits down with Barbie Moreno, founder of From Wounds to Wisdom, to explore the deep connection between childhood trauma, unhealthy coping mechanisms, and the path to healing. This conversation isn't just for men struggling with compulsive sexual behavior but also for their betrayed spouses seeking understanding, strength, and hope.

Barbie shares her raw journey from childhood abuse and corporate success to postpartum depression and an identity crisis that shattered everything she knew. Through mindfulness, breathwork, EMDR, and self-compassion, she rebuilt her life and now helps others do the same.

For men battling addiction, this episode reveals how unresolved trauma drives destructive behaviors—and why true healing starts with facing your past and reclaiming self-worth. For partners, Barbie sheds light on why betrayal cuts so deeply and how healing your own wounds empowers you to set healthy boundaries, demand respect, and reclaim your life—whether you stay in the relationship or not.

Key takeaways include:

• Why trauma changes the brain—and how to rewire it for resilience.
• How shame fuels addiction and undermines intimacy for both partners.
• Why forgiveness is a gift you give yourself, not your abuser.
• How to build healthy boundaries without guilt or fear.
• Practical steps for healing, growth, and reclaiming personal power.

If you're ready to break free from the cycle of pain and start living a life of authenticity and connection, tune in. Healing is possible—for both of you.
