Why Your Wife Doesn't Want Sex (And Why It's Not What You Think) | Dan Purcell
23/05/2026 | 40 mins.
Most couples never learned how to talk about sex — let alone create a deeply connected, passionate relationship that lasts decades.
In this episode of Patterns of Power, Craig sits down with Dan Purcell, founder of Get Your Marriage On, coach to hundreds of couples worldwide, host of a podcast with 1.7M+ listens, and creator of intimacy tools used by over half a million couples.
Together they unpack: • Why many men grow up believing sex is shameful or dangerous • How porn, secrecy, and performance pressure quietly damage intimacy • The surprising difference between spontaneous vs. responsive desire (and why this changes marriages) • What healthy masculine sexuality actually looks like • Why “duty sex” destroys connection • The hidden ways couples accidentally make intimacy worse • How to rebuild trust, passion, vulnerability, and play inside long-term relationships • Why great sex isn’t luck — it’s something couples can intentionally build
If you’ve ever wondered: “Why does intimacy feel disconnected?” “Why do I feel rejected?” “Why did our sex life disappear?” “Can marriages actually get better after years together?”
This conversation is for you.

I Was A Sicko Perv: What You Watch In Secret is Robbing You Of Your Power (the r@pe instruction vid)
13/05/2026 | 34 mins.
What you consume in private does not stay private. In this episode of Patterns of Power, Craig Perra opens up about the hidden cost of porn, secrecy, shame, and compartmentalization — especially for high-performing men who look successful on the outside but feel out of alignment behind closed doors.
This is not a shame-based conversation. It is a call for honesty. Craig breaks down how private patterns can slowly escalate, how they affect intimacy, leadership, self-respect, and family life, and why men need to ask a harder question: Is what I do in private consistent with the man I say I want to become?

This Is Why You Keep Failing (And It’s Not Your Fault)
05/05/2026 | 15 mins.
You’ve tried willpower. Discipline. Therapy.
And you still end up in the same patterns. That’s not failure.
That’s a broken strategy.
Your behavior isn’t random — it’s the predictable output of a system that was built long before you understood it. Once you see it, everything changes.

Patterns of Power is the essential playbook for MEN: high performers, executives, and leaders ready to dismantle the reactive habits that limit their potential and step fully into their POWER.Hosted by Craig Perra, world-renowned coach and creator of The Mindful Habit® System, this show utilizes a framework that evolved from treating the most severe addictions into a comprehensive leadership model. We recognize that for a leader, a distraction is not just a bad habit—it represents a massive cost to your focus, your influence, and your legacy.We move beyond the limited "addiction model" to a Leadership Model. We view every distraction—whether it is imposter syndrome, anger, gambling, shopping, procrastination, shutting down, doomscrolling, porn, alcohol, or overwork—as a failure of self-leadership, and an immediate opportunity to reclaim your power.From Chaos to Command: Craig’s methodology is forged in fire. Once a top corporate executive fired by billion-dollar companies while battling addictions to heroin, stimulants, sex, and work, Craig hit rock bottom. Diagnosed with PTSD and bipolar II, he realized traditional therapy and 12-step programs weren't enough. He rebuilt his life by engineering a new framework: The Mindful Habit® System.His expertise and transformation have been featured on The Steve Harvey Show, The Katie Couric Show, A&E's Digital Addiction, Good Morning Sacramento, and the BBC.Who This Is For This system has helped thousands of leaders in over 30 countries—including CEOs of global corporations, Olympians, professional athletes, and 7, 8, and 9-figure entrepreneurs —move from reactivity to radical self-ownership. Craig holds space for leaders at the highest levels, teaching them that any place where you are reactive is a place where you must lead."The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek."Blending neuroscience, mindfulness, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and habit formation, this podcast delivers a science-based alternative to the "recovery" mindset, focusing instead on strategic self-governance.In each episode, you will learn to:Stop Coping, Start Leading: Transform reactive behaviors (getting defensive, checking out, acting out) into conscious, executive decisions.Command Your Physiology: Master the biology of stress and anxiety to maintain composure under pressure.Weaponize Your Story: Turn your deepest shame and worst patterns into your greatest assets for leadership.Establish Sovereignty: Build habits that align with your purpose, relationships, and performance, rather than your impulses.What started as a way to treat sex and porn addiction has evolved into a self-leadership model that helps men quickly step into and stay in their power.If you are a leader ready to stop hiding, start leading, and turn your chaos into clarity—Welcome to Patterns of Power.Visit www.mindfulhabitmastery.com to learn about hiring Craig to help change your life quickly and sustainably.
