EP 238: Hayden and Savannah's Story
In this episode of Unashamed Unafraid, Sam and Josh welcome Hayden and Savannah Paul, a Latter-day Saint couple married nearly seven years with three young kids. Hayden describes a pornography struggle beginning at 13, disclosure before his mission, progress with leaders, therapy, and recovery meetings, and later relapses. Savannah, raised as a “good girl,” shares how pornography-related betrayal and past trauma shaped her insecurities, yet she continued dating Hayden through repeated spiritual confirmation. After partial truths and withheld details strained their marriage, therapy led to a full disclosure session that triggered a panic attack but also created unprecedented honesty and emotional safety. They describe years of difficult conversations, a deployment that deepened reliance on Christ, lessons about honesty, impact vs. intent, boundaries, and identity healing, and Savannah’s forthcoming book, Make Me Whole.Get 10% of Savannah's book using this link.

EP 237: Live Unashamed: Talking to Strangers About My Porn Addiction #2
In this episode of Unashamed, Unafraid, Sam and Austin recount returning to downtown Salt Lake City with their sign reading, “I’m a porn addict in recovery—ask me anything,” this time standing near Temple Square right after an LDS General Conference session. They compare the first outing—where strangers readily engaged and asked blunt questions—to this one, where many people looked away in visible shame, were with family, or may have assumed they were protesters. The hosts discuss how brotherhood matters in recovery, the challenge of church shame, and the importance of making public space feel safe while still inviting honest dialogue. They reflect on owning your story, rejecting the idea that only sober people can speak, note AA’s original reason for anonymity, and commit to doing the sign outreach again with clearer messaging and more supporters.

EP 235: Live Unashamed - Hugging the Cactus
In this episode of Unashamed, Unafraid, the hosts discuss the “parts of ourselves” we want to kill—especially in sexual addiction recovery—and argue that shame-driven repression and white-knuckling only make things worse. Austin shares how growing up in a conservative culture led him to hide, berate, and try to “kill” his addiction, until he learned to face it with compassion: acknowledging the wounded, trauma-shaped part of himself without feeding compulsive behavior. The group explores identity, pushing back on making “addict” a permanent label, emphasizing being a son of God while distinguishing healthy desires from dark distortions. Using images like “hugging the cactus,” NF’s song “Running,” shadow work, and even Harry Potter, they describe confronting triggers, understanding what behaviors protect us from, and replacing shame and isolation with love, support, therapy, and faith.Make a donation and become an Outsider!Follow us on social media!

EP 234: Breathwork & the Process of Healing
In this episode of Unashamed Unafraid, Sam and Josh Bring back Michael from the Heare Bros (returning from a prior episode), who recaps his a spiritual/somatic session where he cast out the “accuser,” broke through a core belief of worthlessness, and felt transformative light and truth, then explains healing as increasing awareness, grieving wounds, and choosing connection over relapse. He discusses the process of healing and explains holotropic breathwork as a tool for accessing deeper consciousness, releasing pain, and connecting breath with spirit and God’s name, and offers resources for his Utah sessions and Hear Bros retreats.Connect with Mike:https://thelightinus.orghttps://hearebros.com/Make a donation and become an Outsider!Follow us on social media!

EP 233: Live Unashamed - Sex Is Not the Problem
In this episode of Unashamed Unafraid, the hosts discuss healthy, non-compulsive sexuality in recovery and emphasize that sex isn’t the problem—shame is. They share experiences of growing up with little guidance, early sexual curiosity and experimentation, exposure to pornography in the internet age, and how silence and shame intensified addiction. The conversation reframes sexuality as sacred and God-given, meant for connection and creation, while warning that misuse can damage relationships with God and others. They stress normalizing frank, respectful conversations, creating safety and boundaries in marriage, and seeking help through therapy and resources like Jennifer Finlayson-Fife. They explore six types of intimacy, explain how unmet emotional needs become sexualized, and challenge listeners to ask what sex means to them and if married, what their spouse hears when they request sex.Make a donation and become an Outsider!Follow us on social media!

EP 232: Reuben's Story - Arise and Heal
In this episode of Unashamed Unafraid, the hosts welcome Reuben Aiton, founder of Arise & Heal Recovery, who shares his background in addiction recovery coaching and his focus on helping teens and LDS clients move from external “kindling” motivations to internal, heart-based reasons for change. Reuben discusses his own story, including a pituitary tumor that delayed puberty, later struggles with pornography, and learning that sobriety can exist without true healing. He explains addiction as a disconnection issue where pornography is a “medication,” emphasizing connection with God, self, and others to raise awareness rather than fighting thoughts with more thoughts. Reuben describes a panic and claustrophobia crisis on a plane that led to new insights about stillness, surrender, and processing emotions without fixing them, and he outlines practical “primal” movement drills and daily habits to reboot the frontal lobe and reduce shame-driven relapse cycles.Take advantage of Reuben's resources here at https://ariseheal.org/Make a donation and become an Outsider!Follow us on social media!

EP 231: Live Unashamed - The "Noble Lie"
In this episode of Unashamed Unafraid, Sam, Chris, Joshua, and Austin discuss sexual addiction recovery and why healing requires honesty, transparency, and coming unto Christ rather than hiding behind a so-called “noble lie” that hiding the truth somehow protects others. They praise Austin’s courage for disclosing a relapse after seven months and explore how lying creates unmanageable pain, escalates into a destructive web, and erodes trust in marriage by forcing a spouse to live in an untrue reality. They emphasize that sobriety without transparency becomes “white knuckling,” recommend reaching out to brotherhood first after relapse to manage shame and take accountability without excuses, and note rare cases where disclosure may require professional guidance. They challenge listeners to identify where they don’t feel safe and take responsibility for creating safety rather than continuing to lie.Make a donation and become an Outsider!Follow us on social media!
