Is it possible to stop pornography use—for good—without endless willpower or shame? In this powerful conversation, Greg Denning and Dr. Trish Leigh unpack how porn addiction isn’t a moral failing, it’s a brain problem rooted in dopamine dysregulation. If you’ve ever tried to stop pornography only to relapse days later, this video will show you why—and what actually works. Dr. Leigh explains the neuroscience behind porn addiction, the way high-speed digital content warps natural brain patterns, and how it impacts relationships, motivation, and emotional health. She breaks down the three types of addiction, why more men than ever are floundering in life, and how to rewire your brain for true freedom—not just avoidance. You'll learn how to unwire, rewire, and hardwire your brain back to health, plus how to use your purpose and personal mission to build a life so good you don’t even want the fake dopamine highs anymore. Whether you’re a dad, single guy, or husband looking to stop pornography and reclaim your brain, this video delivers real hope and real solutions. 🔔 Don’t miss more parenting insights—subscribe now: https://yt.openinapp.co/GDYT Resources for Dr. Trish Leigh Website: https://drtrishleigh.com Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/4rc9WzKlUthuC0s3ADYqkw Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drtrishleigh/?hl=en YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DrTrishLeighBrainRewire Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drtrishleigh/ Book: https://www.amazon.com/Mind-Over-Explicit-Matter-Neuroscience/dp/1400346991 www.FormidableFamilyMan.com RESOURCES: Here’s a FREE Course! https://www.extraordinaryfamilylife.com/courses/adventuring Greg's FREE ⁠⁠Recommended Reading List for Parents & Youth⁠⁠: https://courses.extraordinaryfamilylife.com/courses/greg-denning-booklist FREE Must Read Books for Resourcefulness and Preparation: https://courses.extraordinaryfamilylife.com/products/digital_downloads/preparedness-booklist Follow me on Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/greg.denning/ How We Raised 7 Well-Adjusted Kids - Without Yelling, Tantrums, Punishments or Power Struggles (+ get THE CHECKLIST: Things We Do Every Day to Raise Well-Adjusted Kids): https://welladjusted.extraordinaryfamilylife.com The Formidable Family Man Podcast: https://www.podpage.com/formidable-family-man/ Join Greg’s 7-Day Challenge: https://extraordinaryfl.samcart.com/products/be-the-family-man-challenge-men JOIN GREG'S 90-DAY HEALTH & FITNESS CHALLENGE! https://extraordinaryfl.samcart.com/products/90-day-health--fitness-challenge/ Join the ⁠⁠Be The Formidable Family Man Masterclass and Tribe: https://formidablefamilyman.com Follow me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/greghdenning Learn more about the upcoming 'Asset Training' in Portugal: https://extraordinaryfl.samcart.com/products/portugal-asset-training/ Gather with us at the ⁠World School Family (Beach & Farm) Resort⁠ in Portugal: https://www.instagram.com/worldschoolfamilyresort/ Extraordinary Family Life Website: https://courses.extraordinaryfamilylife.com/ The topics discussed in our episodes are intended for educational and entertainment purposes only.

Every man has a unique emotional language—and one of the most powerful ways to build connection is by speaking it regularly. In this video, Greg Denning shares why learning what specifically matters to your husband—and choosing to say those things out loud—can radically change your relationship.

It’s easy to overlook the good things your husband is doing—especially when life feels stressful or disconnected.

Are the men in your home grumpy, disconnected, or hard to reach emotionally? Do you ever feel like there's a quiet tension simmering under the surface of your marriage? In this raw and honest conversation, we dive into how unmet sexual needs (and/or porn usage) —and a lack of emotional and physical connection—are contributing to frustration, moodiness, and even disconnection in marriage and family life. You might be surprised to learn that it’s not just men who are feeling sexually frustrated—many women are too. And when this deep need for connection is unmet, it seeps into every area of life: parenting, partnership, communication, and even personal confidence.
