Fresno City Fireman Paul Bertrand made a commitment to change, and over the past year, he’s learned that true growth starts with intentional decisions. In this episode of Resilience in Chaos, Shane and Eric dive deep into Paul’s journey—how he confronted parts of himself he once thought were fine, only to realize they were holding him back. They discuss the power of setting boundaries, prioritizing self-care, and redefining success in his career, relationships, and personal well-being. Paul shares hard truths about self-respect, the necessity of saying “no,” and how taking control of your time isn’t just about self-preservation—it’s about showing up stronger for yourself and those who matter most. This episode is a raw and honest look at what it takes to shift your mindset and create lasting change through deliberate, intentional actions.
