ABOUT JEREMY LIPKOWITZ

Jeremy overcame addiction, shame, self-judgement, and depression in his early twenties with the help of mindfulness meditation. Mindfulness not only helped him let go of destructive behaviors, it also allowed him to connect with deeper meaning and purpose in his life.

For the past 10 years Jeremy has been teaching mindfulness and emotional intelligence practices at universities, recovery centers, and companies throughout Asia and the US. He holds a Bachelors and Master’s degree in Genetics and Genomics, and spent several years at Duke University working towards a PhD in Genetics & Systems Biology before he turned full-time to teaching mindfulness.

Jeremy is also an ICF certified Executive Coach. As a former scientist and academic, Jeremy has a great passion for bringing his EI based coaching skills into the corporate and professional world. He realizes how powerful & transformative these practices can be for skeptics and senior-level managers. He is known for his calm and grounded demeanor, his expertise in habits and high-performance, and his compassionate approach to transformation.

On today's episode, part 2 of the special two-part series from the Live recordings of the Porn Resilient Marriage Summit. Once again, I’m joined by Taylor Chambers, and this time we’re diving deeper into the powerful practice of loving-kindness meditation, an essential tool for fostering compassion and connection—both with yourself and others—on the journey of overcoming porn addiction.

In this episode we explore the unique aspects of loving-kindness meditation, how it differs from mindfulness, and why developing self-compassion is so crucial in the recovery process. Plus, I'll be guiding a loving-kindness meditation session, helping you experience its transformative benefits firsthand.

As a bonus for podcast listeners, I’m still offering a limited-time $100 discount on my 14-day training guide, Mindfulness Made Easy.
