Jeremy Lipkowitz: From Porn Addiction to Inner Freedom | EP 9

Описание: In this latest episode I had the great honor of inviting my new friend, Jeremy Lipkowitz to the podcast. I am excited to share his work with all of you, as he's working in a field that is in my opinion both relevant and absolutely necessary.

Jeremy is a porn addiction recovery coach, a meditation teacher and an expert on digital habits and he's made it his mission to serve men in overcoming porn addiction, so they can live with deeper purpose – and in the process reclaim their minds, learn to thrive in relationship, and live with deeper integrity.
In his own personal journey, Jeremy had to confront his own addiction to pornography, and his inner battles with shame, self-judgement and depression
Coming into contact with Buddhist philosophy and mindfulness, he found a modality that was able to support him through his challenges. And for years he ended up spending time living and training with ordained Buddhist monks in Myanmar.

Along the process he's found his way back to himself with a greater sense of meaning, fulfillment and purpose.

And with a background in genetics and genomics, he now combines a science-based approach with his deep passion for eastern philosophy and mindfulness, in order to support men in reclaiming sovereignty over their own minds, so they can experience inner peace.
Within our conversation, Jeremy and I specifically focused on the topic of pornography. It's becoming increasingly evident how the consistent consumption of porn can impact lives, yet I still see the conversation surrounding it remains limited.

Having faced my own challenges with this issue, and speaking to men on a regular basis around the topic of porn, I knew this was an essential conversation for us to have.

With Jeremy's expertise in the field of neuroscience, I was interested to hear about the impact porn has on our lives and why it's so addictive. With his training in fields such as mindfulness and addiction recovery, we explored in depth, what pulls specifically many men towards porn but also how thow they may be able to break free from it.

This was an incredibly illuminating conversations with some heartfelt and transparent shares out of our own personal lives. And I can't wait for you all to listen to it. Without further ado, let's dive on in:
