In this week’s episode of Here Comes Sunshine, I’m answering an honest and important listener question:

“What if I don’t want to quit porn, but I want to make sure I’m healthy?”

This conversation is all about awareness, not shame. As someone who once worked as a spicy content creator before becoming a Clinical Sexologist, I understand both sides of this conversation deeply. We’ll talk about what healthy porn use actually looks like, what the science says about dopamine and the brain, and how to stay connected to real intimacy, whether that’s with a partner or with yourself.

There’s no judgment here, only truth, compassion, and tools to help you find balance and deeper connection in your life.

In today’s episode of Here Comes Sunshine with Sarah Valentine, we’re diving into the power of community, especially for men in their 40s, 50s, and beyond. After my own divorce, I had to rebuild my life and find my people again, and it wasn’t easy. Today, I want to share what I learned about connection, belonging, and the courage it takes to put yourself out there later in life.

If you’ve been feeling isolated, unsure where to start, or like your best connections are behind you, this conversation is for you.

We’ll talk about why community is essential for emotional and physical health, how to start building one that fits your life now, and simple ways to start finding your tribe again.

In this episode of Here Comes Sunshine, I’m talking about something a lot of men in their 40s, 50s, and beyond struggle with but rarely say out loud, gooning, or getting lost in porn, and how it impacts real intimacy with a partner.

There’s no judgment here. Many of you have known me since my days as a creator on spicy platforms, and I want you to know, I get it. Back then, I was acting out my own trauma drama, and looking for connection in ways that didn’t serve me. So when I say I understand how easy it is to get hooked, I mean it.

We’ll explore how you can begin to shift back toward real, meaningful intimacy, without shame and without losing hope.

If you’re ready to move from screen-based escape into connection, this one’s for you.
