Alex Lehmann: "My Pain Was The Doorway To My Purpose" | EP 10 — [ A conversation on „Unhooked“ W/ Jeremey Lipkowitz ]

I am incredibly excited for this upcoming episode as we're going to be switching things up a little bit. Instead of interviewing yet another incredible guest, I actually recently had the great honor of being interviewed myself on the podcast „Unhooked“ with my friend Jeremy Lipkowitz.

And I felt called to share this interview on the „heart of man“ for a number of reasons.

First of all, this has been the first podcast interview I was a guest on in 2 years which provided a space where I could share some of my most current perspectives, teachings and experiences, particularly diving deep into my passion within the field of men's work.

During the interview, Jeremey asked me some thought provoking questions exploring reason why I started the podcast and what my intention is with it. And I wanted to provide this discussion here for all of you to get a glimpse of why I am so passionate about this project.

Coupled with a conversation around my past where I spoke to my experiences with heart-break and themes of life and death through my work as a paramedic, I attempted to shed deeper light on how I came to be where I am today.

One more thing to note, is that a significant portion of our interview revolved around the topic of pornography and sexual shame in service to the work that Jeremy does in the realm of Porn Addiction.

Having personally grappled with challenges around porn and sexual shame, and working with numerous men on these subjects, I happily agreed for us to go into depth.

My sincere hope is that this conversation will provide value to you, whether its through the share my personal journey or the knowledge I felt compelled to bring, which has been foundational in my own growth.

I'd like to close off this introduction with a an offer which is if you are a man or you know a man who may desire support during this time, let this be your invitation to reach out with the contact links provided below. And I am here to see how I may be able to serve you.
