In today's episode of the Porn to Purpose Podcast, Coach Yeadon takes us deep into a raw, personal story that reveals one of the most important truths about lasting recovery: your freedom is built on your systems, not your feelings.

What starts as a simple morning routine—getting up, dropping off his daughter, doing the Core Four—turns into a powerful lesson about discipline, emotional resilience, and the hard choices every man must make if he wants his life back.

From cold plunges in freezing weather to the daily battle between comfort and commitment, Yeadon unpacks why porn addiction survives in the shadows of convenience… and why true recovery requires a man to rise, choose his hard, and build a structure strong enough to hold him when life punches back.

This episode is a truth bomb about accountability, systems, emotional coping, and the brutal honesty required to walk from pornography into purpose.

Whether you're early in recovery or rebuilding your life brick by brick, this conversation is a wake-up call to stop trying harder—and start building the plan that will finally set you free.
