About this episode
- Do you really want to or is there a part of you that isn’t willing to let it go yet?
- Choosing to do this on purpose.
- Not waiting until you never look at porn to have the confidence to be a free person
- Commitment vs wanting – if you want something that doesn’t mean you will be able to get it.

- You aren’t waiting for it to happen before you believe in it.
-
- Being committed is uncomfortable and challenging.

- It wasn’t even on my radar.
- Then I wanted to be a podcaster because I thought it would be a great way to get the message out that there is help and there is a way forward for people who struggle.
