What We Really Want: Conversations About Connection

FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE to download new episodes as they release!

If it's true that "...the opposite of addiction is not sobriety...the opposite of addiction is connection," there are lots of people who need to discover what true, healthy connection looks like. Whether the struggle is with addiction, toxic relationship dynamics, or something else, we've all tried to meet our needs in unhealthy ways. Way too often, the things we run to for comfort leave us feeling even more disconnected and alone than before.

Through conversations about the many ways we can connect, we offer an invitation to discover and move toward what we really want, so we can live the lives we were created for.

Awaken (awakenrecovery.com) helps men and women whose lives have been wrecked by unwanted/addictive sexual behaviors and sexual betrayal trauma. We hope the podcast will help not only those struggling sexually, but anyone who seeks healthier ways of finding connection.

We're excited to welcome our first RETURNING guest on the show. DREW BOA is a good friend, and someone committed to helping struggling men outgrow their need for and pursuit of pornography. Drew is the founder of Husband Material, an online community where men can find friends, coaching, and resources to support them in their path to living as mature, healthy men.

Drew released a book, Outgrow Porn: Find Lasting Freedom Without Fighting an Exhausting Battle, on August 25th. It's a book that therapist and author Michael John Cusick calls "...a paradigm-shifting resource that leads men from battling against the beast of porn to the pursuit of growing up into wholeness of heart."

Episode 45 | Drew Boa: How We Outgrow Porn will be available Tuesday, September 2nd!
