Overcome Pornography for Good with Sara Brewer | The Beliefs That Keep You Stuck and How to Unlearn Them with Hunter

Episode 263: The Beliefs That Keep You Stuck and How to Unlearn Them with Hunter

February 02, 20262 min read

Are you doing all the right things but still feel stuck in the same patterns? When change doesn’t last, the issue usually isn’t discipline, motivation, or willpower. It’s the beliefs running quietly underneath everything else.

In this episode, Coach Hunter Garrett breaks down how deeply held beliefs shape emotions, choices, and habits, often without you realizing it. He explains why pornography and other unwanted behaviors are often symptoms, not the root problem, and how limiting beliefs like “I’ll always struggle” or “I can’t change” keep reinforcing the same cycle, no matter how many tools you try.

Hunter walks through five practical steps to help you identify, question, and begin unlearning the beliefs that keep you stuck. You’ll learn how awareness, gathering new evidence, reframing old stories, and taking small aligned actions can create real momentum. This episode shows why lasting change happens from the inside out and how shifting what you believe is what allows behavior to change.
