The Porn Addict's Wife

This podcast is for LDS women with a spouse addicted to pornography. I am Jolene Winn and I am an active member of the LDS faith, a certified Life Coach through The Life Coach School, and the wife of a wonderful man who was once addicted to pornography. I am now on a mission to go find other women who are in the same situation. Women who are struggling to address emotions and thoughts they've never had to face. Women who want to understand their situation, who want to love their husband like they used to, who want to be free from living a life that revolves around their husband's addiction. Th...

Episode 70: Self Acceptance 13.09.2021

Today I am going to give you look at one of the 5 main tools I teach in my coaching program: Self Acceptance. It sounds basic, and perhaps it is, but it is the one that can propel you forward if you can master it. This is learning how to accept where you are without judging yourself for it. As humans, we have a lot of judgement for our thoughts and our feelings, and all that does is prevent us fro...

Episode 69: Disbelief and Disillusionment 06.09.2021

Have you ever thought "I can't believe this is happening to me?" or "I never thought he would do this to me?" or "He is not the man I thought he was"? That could be because your brain is in a state of disbelief and/or disillusionment. Today I am talking all about why our brain likes to have these thoughts, why it's important to change it and HOW to do so.  Come join me for coach week! Register tod...

Episode 68: Beliefs 30.08.2021

The things that we believe run our lives. Our brain is constantly looking for evidence to prove ourselves right so it is always looking for confirmation that what we already believe is true. For example, if we believe that our husband is hiding something from us, our brain will constantly be on the lookout for proof that he's being secretive and sneaky. Your brain will always find evidence to soli...

Bonus: Lies My Brain Believes 23.08.2021

I processed a lot of emotion the last few days and as I did so, I allowed myself to see all the lies my brain likes to believe about myself. It wasn't pretty. So I wanted to share what that was like and how I worked through it. I hope it helps.  Ladies, if you are feeling stuck, allow me to help you. Sign up for a free consultation call today and I will get on the phone with you and talk about how...

Like you can't seem to let go of the need you have to control what he is doing? That's what today is all about. Today I will talk about why we have a hard time letting go and HOW to actually do it. Yes, it can be done. I can teach you...

Episode 66: The Hero Complex 09.08.2021

Part of us wants to be the reason he stops. We want to be enough for him to quit. We want so badly to do enough, be enough, help enough so that he can overcome his addiction to pornography. Unfortunately, that is never going to work. Join me today as I walk you through WHY your brain wants to think this way, why it won't work, and what you can do about it.  The next group is starting on October 11...

Episode 65: Relationship "Needs" 26.07.2021

What do you "need" in your relationship? Do you "need" your spouse to tell you he loves you? Do you "need" to have trust or vulnerability? Do you "need" to not harbor feelings of resentment or bitterness? Today, I'm going to dive into why we develop these beliefs about what we "need" in relationships and how that can actually be hurting us. I want to encourage you to take a listen with an open min...

Episode 64: Making Decisions 19.07.2021

Do you have a hard time making decisions in your life? Allow me to explain a few things that go on in your brain that might be factoring into that! Your brain will always be motivated by a few things and that will push the way you make decisions. Follow along today to learn how your brain makes decisions and how you can observe it and change it!   

Episode 63: Lying 12.07.2021

We have a lot of thoughts about lying-especially when our husband is the one doing the lying.

Episode 62: Freedom 05.07.2021

What does it mean to be free? What does that look like in real life? What does it look like to be free from your husband's pornography addiction or from other circumstances that you can't control? And how do you achieve it? Today I am going to answer all those questions and more. Freedom is possible. And you don't need anything to change in order to make it a reality.  Happy Independence Day every...

Episode 61: Allowing Positive Emotion 28.06.2021

When we resist negative emotion, we simultaneously close ourselves off to positive emotion. And our brain wants to resist any change that is outside of our comfort zone-even if it's positive. Learning how to feel and allow positive emotion in your life is going to expand your life SO much! Join me today as I walk you through examples of how allowing positive emotion can change your life and I'll g...

Episode 59: Possibility 14.06.2021

Today I am going to teach you the most simple tool that will have the most profound impact on every area of your life...and that is learning how to shift your mind from IMpossibility to possibility. There are so many reasons why our brain likes to believe that things aren't possible for us (it's not possible to lose weight, to overcome these emotions, to strengthen our marriage, etc) and NONE of i...

Episode 58: Relationships 07.06.2021

We think that relationships exist outside of us or that they are somehow created based on what the other person is or isn't doing. That's one of the reasons we think our marriage is doomed to fail if our spouse is addicted to pornography-because it must mean that our relationship is awful because he's doing this terrible thing. Right? WRONG. Join me today as I offer a brand new way of thinking abo...

Episode 57: Body Image 31.05.2021

There is a difference between our body and our body image. We think that we are just experiencing our body, that we are simply observing and that what we think about our body is fact. In reality, we are interpreting our body through a lens, one that is shaped by our experiences-including our husband's pornography addiction. If you are struggling with your body image and want to chance it, I outlin...

Episode 56: The Model 24.05.2021

Episode 55: Blame V Responsibility 17.05.2021

It can be super easy to blame other people or things outside of us for how we feel. "I'm mad because he did this thing". But the problem with blame is that it keeps us the victim. It keeps our emotional state dependent on the other person or the situation changing. And that keeps us feeling stuck and hopeless. Join me today as I offer an alternative to blame: responsibility. In this episode I brea...

Conversations with Rob: Triggers and Temptations 10.05.2021

Ladies, this is a good one! In this episode my husband Rob joins me in a discussion about what it was like to go on a tropical vacation a few weeks ago-and whether we were worried about triggers and temptation.

Episode 52: Lessons Learned in Inadequacy 19.04.2021

This past week I had an experience where I felt completely inadequate. My husband and I were discussing his old "triggers" and all of a sudden, my old thoughts came flooding to the surface. Today I want to share the lessons I learned working through that experience and why we often feel inadequate. Come coach with me and I'll teach you how to work through it.  Don't forget to register for my LIVE...

Episode 51: What you deserve 12.04.2021

Do you ever think "I don't deserve this?" It's completely normal. So many women think that and feel that way. I want you to join me today on a very important topic as I address why our brain thinks this, and why it's not helpful. This is a deep topic today so take notes! It's a good one!
