In today's episode of the Porn to Purpose Podcast, we unpack a powerful real-life story that connects recovery, fatherhood, and the deeper purpose behind breaking free from porn.

What started as a simple morning moment—an 18-year-old son asking his dad to come collect eggs—turned into a vivid metaphor for the recovery journey itself. The story reveals that it's never about the eggs… it's about connection.

Coach Yeadon shares how this ordinary moment with his son became a mirror for his own healing. He reflects on the front-loaded work of recovery—the early struggle to rebuild your foundation after years of unhealthy coping—and why real transformation comes when a man learns to stay present with pain instead of running from it.

This episode dives deep into the daily maintenance of recovery, the cost of disconnection, and how fatherhood can become one of the most powerful motivators for lasting change.
