A founder of the Total Breakthrough Academy speaks to police, medics, and former military about a hidden struggle: fear of admitting emotional pain. Many hide behind a façade to avoid being labeled a liability, losing their edge in the process. He urges them to confront their internal fears and reclaim it.
Got a bunch of first responders in my program, Total Breakthrough Academy. And see, these people, they're getting massive breakthrough. And the reason that the first responders are getting breakthrough is because they're not afraid to face their fears. They're not afraid to overcome the things that really scare them. What they're really afraid of is to go within. What they're afraid of, right, is to admit, right, the things that they were never able to talk about. A lot of first responders aren't able to really open up, aren't able to really connect with other people, aren't really able to address what's what's really going on with them because they put everybody before themselves, number one. And number two, a lot of times as a first responder, as a cop, as a medic, former Marine, right, former soldier in the military, right, if you talk about those things, you're a liability. And so you keep just putting on the facade, putting on the mask, pretending like you have it all together as a first responder. But I'm going to tell you this right now, this is your time. You put everybody before you. This is your time. This is your time, right, to give yourself 100%. Why? Because you know that you kept putting everybody before you, but you were slowly descending into a lesser version of yourself, and people around you started to suffer. And that causes pain in your heart because you don't want to see those people hurt. So it's time to change. This is a call to action to all my first responders out there. It's time to take back what you've lost, which is your edge. You lost your edge, and it's time to find that and take that back.
