Summary
Do you feel like you're stuck in a cycle? The journey of overcoming pornography is often marked by repeating patterns that feel impossible to break. It can feel like falling into the same hole over and over again—lost, helpless, and unsure how to get out.
In this episode, Coach Kat shares a powerful metaphor about breaking free from unwanted habits. It illustrates how we move through stages of awareness and responsibility, from feeling stuck in familiar cycles to finally choosing new paths. Understanding these stages can help you see that change isn’t instant, but a gradual progression towards freedom.

| 0:30.6 | and I'm really excited to be talking to you guys today. |
| 0:33.7 | It's going to be a little short and a little sweet, but I really think it's going to be impactful. I'm going to start by reading a poem by Portia Nelson. Maybe you've heard it.
