#342 - Sathiya Sam - Fatherhood, The Role of Faith and Overcoming Porn Addiction

Sathiya Sam joins Something For Everybody this week. Sathiya is a father, husband, coach, international speaker and author. Formerly a university researcher, then a pastor, and now the creator of DeepClean™ and Liberated Man programs, born out of my 15-year addiction recovery and the life I've rebuilt since. In this conversation, Sathiya discusses the complexities of addiction recovery, the role of faith, and the impact of pornography on youth. He emphasizes the importance of connection, self-awareness, and shifting one's identity from addiction to freedom. Sathiya shares personal experiences and insights on how to navigate the challenges of addiction and the journey towards a fulfilling life. We discuss the challenges of navigating conversations about pornography and the implications of modern platforms like OnlyFans. - Timestamps: 00:00 Navigating New Year's Resolutions and Addiction Recovery 05:08 The Role of Faith in Overcoming Addiction 09:53 Understanding the Impact of Pornography on Youth 15:03 The Journey from Addiction to Freedom 19:49 The Importance of Self-Awareness in Recovery 29:55 The Importance of Emotional Connection 36:33 Fatherhood and Its Impact on Identity 38:11 The Role of the Nuclear Family 44:41 Navigating Conversations About Pornography 50:20 The Dilemma of Modern Feminism and OnlyFans 52:43 The Consequences of Transactional Relationships - See discounts for all the products I use and recommend: https://everybodyspod.com/deals/ - Shop For Everybody Use code SFE10 for 10% OFF 👉 https://shopforeverybody.com/ - AMARE GLOBAL: The Mental Wellness Company – On a mission to create a holistic mental wellness platform of products, programs, and people.
