Episode Summary (Show Notes):

In this raw and unapologetic solo drop, Bertrand goes deep on one of the most misunderstood truths about masculinity: you can’t be emotional all the time.

From military stories to migraines to fatherhood and rage, Bertrand lays down the truth most men live with but never say out loud.
Your emotions aren’t always the priority—your performance is.
But that doesn’t mean you bottle them up and implode.

He shares the real strategy he uses to survive the fire:

• 
  

  Journaling the darkest thoughts no one ever sees

  
  


• 
  

  Physical release through combat sports and workouts

  
  


• 
  

  Delayed processing through ritual and routine
