Illuminated Conversations Podcast Brian M Truskowski

Welcome to the Illuminated Conversations podcast! In this 5th episode of the second season, I will be interviewing Kirk M. Samuels, Author,  gifted speaker and an award-winning member of Toastmaster’s International.  

In this episode, Kirk and I discuss his journey of Porn addiction and how it destroyed his life. How he overcame that and ended up writing a book and developing a mission to help others recover from Pornography addiction.  

 For thirty of the first forty years of his life, Kirk was addicted to pornography. Numerous relationships and careers suffered as a result. At his lowest point, Kirk was ready to end his life. Then, after the most significant of breakthroughs, Kirk created a class for men called Free Indeed. Kirk’s real, practical experience makes him uniquely qualified to speak about today’s porn consumer and relationships. His book For Your Eyes Only: The Inside Scoop About Men, Porn, and Marriage reveals to women how her man can become addicted to her.

Welcome to the Illuminated Conversations podcast! In this second episode of the second season, I will be interviewing Erin Berry, Pleasure Priestess and Love and Pleasure Coach for women.  

In this episode, Erin and I discuss part of her journey around divorce, and how she navigated that with her two daughters. In addition to that, how her whole world crumbled down around her at the same time, and how grace helped her move through this.   

As a Coach, nothing lights her up more than witnessing a client remember their cosmic awesomeness that was there all along.  

Erin believes pleasure is a radical act of self-love and self-care.  Once we know what we need and desire, we can begin to ask for it and move our lives into alignment and flow.
