Will's Philosophy:
Belief is everything. Our beliefs have the potential to imprison us or set us free. At the core of problematic porn use and unwanted behavior are negative self-beliefs. But beliefs can change, and when we change our beliefs, we change ourselves and we change our lives.
If you believe you’re sick, worthless, or beyond help, then that’s exactly what you’ll be. But if you believe you are good and worth fighting for, if you believe that you will change, then change is guaranteed. It isn’t as easy as flicking a switch, but the positive impact of changing your beliefs is system-wide.
I believe that your pain is your potential. I believe in transmuting emotional suffering into inner strength. My own suffering was a gift, because through that suffering I became a man with a purpose to heal the suffering of others.
Your suffering is a gift, too. I know that sounds hard to believe, but trust me and I’ll show you how to turn your suffering into a superpower.

Who is Will?
I’m someone just like you.
So you can believe me when I say I understand your struggle. I’m not some academic, stepping down from his ivory tower to lift poor, afflicted souls out of the gutter. I’ve been in the gutter. I know what it feels like to make the wrong choice over and over again when you desperately want to just make the right one. I get it.
And I know you’ve made choices you regret. You won’t get judgement from me. Only empathy, understanding, and encouragement.
I was first exposed to porn at eight years old by an older brother’s friend. That day kicked off 15 years of fascination, obsession, and addiction to porn that seized control of my life, robbed me of countless opportunities and, one fateful day, almost cost me the thing I love most in the world: my family.
After that day, I struggled with recovery for over two years. Therapists didn’t get it. Addiction support groups were full of negativity. I was too ashamed to call on friends and family. So I wrestled with cravings, setbacks, shame, and self-loathing alone. I went through years of painful trial and error before I finally saw the light.
My turning point came when it finally clicked that I was not a bad person, I was a good person making poor choices. That distinction changed everything. The false self-belief that I was bad was at the core of all my problems with porn, procrastination, and self-doubt. When I tore that lie down was when I stopped seeing myself as a blight on the earth, and I started seeing myself as a man who deserved a better life. And that motivated me to work harder. Because for the first time, I was worth working hard for.
From there I made leaps and bounds in my recovery. I researched and practiced and got better until I didn’t crave porn anymore and I actually liked myself. I took back control over my choices and I built a life where I am happy being me, because I get to choose who I am.
That’s why I established Molt. To help the millions of men and women who are suffering just like I did. Men and women who feel out of control, stuck in a life they don’t want. Men and women who don’t believe that freedom is possible. They don’t know that the only thing standing between them and the life they want is a choice.
If you are one of those people, I’m here to tell you that a good life is possible. It’s within reach, even now. All you have to do is choose.
Make your next choice a good one.

Why "Molt"?
I’m from North Carolina where summers thrum with cicada song. Cicadas have always fascinated me; I grew up collecting empty cicada husks from trees and I still remember my amazement when I learned about their lifecycles. Periodical cicadas spend over a decade underground, in total darkness, feeding on tree sap and growing slowly. This is called their ‘nymphal stage’, it’s basically their childhood and they don’t have wings as nymphs. Some cicada species spend 17 years underground before they emerge to molt. That's when they shed their old skin and unfurl their new wings in order to fulfill their life's purpose-- sing and find a mate.
The first summer after I began developing this recovery program, I was on a walk when I came upon a nymphal cicada climbing a tree. I knew it had just emerged from years spent underground and I had a rare opportunity to watch it change from nymph to adult before my eyes. So I sat on the sidewalk and watched it molt. It took over half an hour for the cicada to slowly split its skin, push its way out, and inflate its new wings. Some people would have been bored to tears, but I was transfixed. That animal had spent all its life in darkness, but here it was in the sun, wearing a new skin, ready to make its voice heard and fulfill its purpose.
It made me think about myself. Almost exactly 17 years had passed between the day I was first exposed to porn and the day I celebrated my freedom from it-- the same as the longest-lived cicadas. Those 17 years were full of darkness and pain, yet here I was, wearing a new skin and preparing to lift my voice to guide others out of darkness.
That day, as I sat watching that cicada spread its wings for the first time, I knew exactly what I would name my recovery program.
