Introduction

Cassidy Brown is a student and an influencer. At an early age, she was exposed to porn when a friend showed it to her unexpectedly. After that, she developed a natural curiosity about sex, and while she didn’t feel comfortable talking with her parents about it, she turned to porn to learn about sex and sexuality. From there, her porn consumption escalated to the point that it fueled anxiety, shame, and poor mental health. In this episode, Cassidy sits down with podcast host, Garrett Jonsson, to talk about her struggles with porn and the role shame played in her challenge. She also shares how she’s been able to break the shame cycle and embark on her own journey toward healing.
