   71. What My Dog Taught Me About Unconditional Love, Shame & Porn Addiction Recovery

   What My Dog Taught Me About Unconditional Love, Shame & Porn Addiction Recovery Lessons from an Old Dog — A tribute to Bo, my loyal companion through heartbreak, recovery, and rebuilding my life. What if one of the greatest lessons about unconditional love didn’t come from another person, but from an old dog? For eight years, my dog Bo stood beside me through some of the darkest and most transformative moments of my life. He witnessed my marriage, my struggles with pornography, the breakdown of that marriage, my divorce, and the long journey of recovery and rebuilding my life. He was there when I hit rock bottom. He was there when shame convinced me I wasn’t worthy of love. He was there when I began picking up the pieces of a life I thought I’d lost. And through it all, he never stopped loving me. On August 9, 2026, I said goodbye to Bo. He was 17 years old. Losing him was incredibly difficult. I needed some time away from the podcast to grieve, reflect, and appreciate everything this little dog had taught me. Now, I’m back with an episode that’s especially close to my heart. In this episode of Porn Free Millennial, I’m honoring Bo’s memory by sharing my poem, Lessons from an Old Dog (https://pornfreemillennial.substack.com/p/lessons-from-an-old-dog), and reflecting on the importance of unconditional love in overcoming shame, addiction, and heartbreak. Because sometimes one of the greatest obstacles in recovery isn’t simply changing our behavior. It’s believing we’re still worthy of love despite our mistakes. In This Episode, We Explore: * How Bo accompanied me through porn addiction recovery, divorce, and heartbreak. * Why unconditional love matters when overcoming guilt and shame. * How living a secret life can damage our ability to connect with others. * Why recovery is about more than simply quitting pornography. * The comfort, companionship, and emotional healing our pets can provide. * How faith, grace, and forgiveness helped me rebuild my identity. * Three practical ways to demonstrate unconditional love to the people in our lives.

I believed that lie for years. And that shame didn’t just affect my relationship with others. It affected my relationship with God and my ability to recognize the love already present in my life. But recovery has taught me something important. We are not defined solely by our worst decisions, our failures, or the things we’ve done in secret. Recovery is about reclaiming the parts of ourselves that addiction and shame have buried. It’s about rebuilding integrity, strengthening relationships, accepting grace, and learning how to love others more fully. And unconditional love doesn’t mean eliminating accountability or pretending our actions don’t have consequences. It means recognizing that our worth as human beings doesn’t disappear when we make mistakes. Bo couldn’t understand the complexity of my struggles. He didn’t know what pornography was or why I was hurting. But he knew how to be there. Sometimes that was exactly what I needed. And perhaps that’s one of the greatest lessons we can learn from the animals who share our lives. Love doesn’t always need words. Sometimes it simply needs presence. Read the Poem That Inspired This Episode In May 2025, I wrote a poem called Lessons from an Old Dog (https://pornfreemillennial.substack.com/p/a-lesson-from-an-old-dog). (https://pornfreemillennial.substack.com/p/a-lesson-from-an-old-dog) At the time, Bo was still alive, accompanying me on RV adventures and greeting each day with the enthusiasm of a puppy despite his age. Reading that poem now, after his passing, gives those words an entirely different meaning. It’s a tribute to a companion who witnessed my life change in ways I never could have imagined.

   70. Break Free from Shame: A Coach's Guide

   Shame is one of the most misunderstood—and most destructive—forces behind addiction. Unlike guilt, which says “I did something bad,” shame whispers, “I am bad.” It convinces us we’re broken, unworthy, beyond repair, and incapable of lasting change. Left unchecked, it keeps us trapped in cycles of secrecy, isolation, perfectionism, and relapse. In this episode of the Porn Free Millennial Podcast, I sit down with my recovery coach and mentor, Vern Tompke, host of the Finding Traction Podcast (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/finding-traction-recovery-from-porn/id1511424075), to unpack what shame really is, how to recognize it, where it comes from, and—most importantly—how to begin walking in freedom. Drawing from Vern’s “Shame for Dummies” guide, we explore the stories that shape our identity, the lies we unknowingly believe, and the healing power of safe relationships, community, and faith. In This Episode * The critical difference between guilt and shame—and why confusing the two keeps many people stuck. * Why perfectionism is often one of the strongest indicators that shame is operating beneath the surface. * How childhood experiences quietly shape lifelong beliefs about ourselves. * The “fish in water” analogy that explains why shame is often difficult to recognize. * Common shame statements such as: * “I’m not enough.” * “I’m a failure.” * “I don’t belong.” * “I’m unlovable.” * “I ruin everything.” * How addiction often becomes a symptom of deeper shame rather than its source. * Why secret “closet stories” continue to hold power until they’re brought into the light. * The importance of trusted relationships and accountability in breaking shame’s grip. * How prayer, Scripture, and community help replace false identities with truth. * Practical steps anyone can begin taking today to identify and challenge shame. Memorable Quotes “Guilt says, ‘I did something bad.’ Shame says, ‘I am something bad.’” “Perfectionism is one of the greatest clues that shame is hiding underneath.” “Shame grows in darkness and isolation.” “Safe people help us hear truth louder than shame.” “The antidote to shame is being fully known and fully loved.” Resources Mentioned * Finding Traction Recovery Program (https://www.bandofbrothers.care/) * Finding Traction Alumni Groups * Pastors on Porn Podcast (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pastors-on-porn/id1435403633) * Men’s Recovery Retreats * Scripture-based identity exercises * Accountability and recovery community Connect with Vern Tompke Vern Tompke is a recovery coach, mentor, and host of the Finding Traction Podcast (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/finding-traction-recovery-from-porn/id1511424075) and Pastors on Porn Podcast (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pastors-on-porn/id1435403633), helping men overcome pornography addiction through faith, accountability, and lasting transformation.

   Why Everything on TV Is So Sexualized | A Professor Explains

   Is modern entertainment becoming more sexualized—or are we simply noticing it more? In this deep philosophical discussion, I sit down once again with Dr. Gregory Borse (https://substack.com/profile/18839014-gregory-borse), professor of English, philosophy, and film at the University of Arkansas at Monticello, to revisit one of our most popular conversations and ask a question many people have been wondering: Why does it feel like almost every TV show and movie today is pushing sexuality? Connect with Gregory Borse on X (https://x.com/GregoryBorse) and Substack (https://gregoryborse.substack.com/): Drawing from literature, film history, philosophy, psychology, and technology, we explore how pornography fits into a much larger cultural story. From Hitchcock and Shakespeare to Netflix, Christopher Nolan, AI, and social media, this conversation looks beyond headlines to examine how technology is reshaping not only entertainment—but how we experience reality itself. Whether you’re in recovery from pornography, interested in film, or simply wondering why culture feels different today, this episode offers a thoughtful perspective that challenges assumptions from every angle. In This Episode * Why modern movies and television seem increasingly sexualized * The relationship between pornography, technology, and culture * Why Dr. Borse argues that porn is a symptom—not the root problem * How streaming services changed the way entertainment is consumed * The evolution of pornography from the ancient world to the digital age * Mechanical reproduction, AI, and what they mean for art and authenticity * Why technology has become an extension of the human nervous system * The erosion of standards in entertainment and society * Hitchcock, Kubrick, Christopher Nolan, and the importance of meaningful storytelling * The difference between art that serves the story and gratuitous sexual content * Beauty, mystery, and why some things were historically understood to remain sacred * How recovering from pornography changes the way you experience media * Practical thoughts for navigating entertainment without living in fear Books & Authors Mentioned * Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction (https://amzn.to/4gTVC3Q) — Walter Benjamin (https://amzn.to/4gTVC3Q) * Unbinding Prometheus (https://amzn.to/4x0AWvL) — Donald Cowan (https://amzn.to/4x0AWvL) * Homer (https://amzn.to/45k5sEY) * Shakespeare (https://amzn.to/4yCGb6k) * Ancient Greek Literature (https://amzn.to/4bcCeeK) Films & Television Discussed * Psycho * Eyes Wide Shut * The Odyssey (Christopher Nolan) * True Detective * Breaking Bad * Sons of Anarchy * The Hobbit Previous Conversations with Dr. Gregory Borse If you enjoyed this discussion, be sure to check out our earlier conversations together: * 14.
