Worked well for me ,

Worth the time

I have been trying to overcome porn for over 2 decades. This podcast has helped me to finally see why I was turning to porn and given me concrete things to put into practice. I am not perfect yet but, by doing what Zach and Darcy talk about each week I have made more progress than the last 20 years. I appreciate their shame free approach to talking about porn.

Helpful

Really helpful stuff. There’s definitely some assumptions made about people and behaviors that aren’t universally true, but overall I’m really grateful for how willing they are to tackle a very difficult subject.

Coaching has changes our relationship

After years of listening to this podcast my wife and I finally made the choice to work with Zach and Darcy. Working with the two of them has changed our relationship in ways we never thought possible. Through their coaching we have been able to discover the reasons why we kept getting stuck and what we could do to make the necessary changes.

Original review- I appreciate your openness and honesty while talking about a subject that is often not talked about personally. I look forward to listening to all you have to say in the future. I will for sure share this with others who are working to overcome in their lives.
