Your Kids Are Watching: What Will You Teach Them Through Your Pain? : 1PM #079
Description
Episode Summary (Show Notes):
In this deeply personal solo episode, Bertrand shares what it feels like to go through a real, raw, hard day as a man. He speaks from the floor of his bedroom, mid-fast, post-PTSD cold sweats, under pressure from court, business, fatherhood, and personal growth—and still choosing to show up.
This episode isn’t about looking perfect. It’s about choosing to become the man you said you wanted to be, even when everything in life challenges that declaration. Bertrand reflects on the moment he created his Coat of Arms, how everything got harder since then, and why that’s exactly the test every great man must go through.
He asks one essential question:
"What will your kids learn from how you handled your darkest days?"
Highlights:
Why declaring the man you want to be invites resistance from life itself
Fasting, therapy, PTSD, and pressure: a behind-the-scenes look at Bertrand’s battle
The power of modeling emotional resilience for your children and tribe
Why people don’t always need your explanation—they need your example
The fine line between leadership and slipping into old trauma responses
What it means to be a creator, not a consumer, especially on hard days
Affirmation of the Day:
“Every day I stay in the fight, I become more of the man I already am.”
Final Note:
You're being watched. Not by social media, not by the algorithm—but by the people who matter. Your kids, your woman, your brothers, your future self.
Be the man you're proud they saw.
