🚨 Big News! 🚨 I’m proud to officially announce that I am now a Positive Intelligence® (PQ) Mental Fitness Coach! 🧠💪

Going through the PQ® program as a client was a life-changing experience for me. It helped me recognize and quiet the inner saboteurs holding me back, and strengthened the part of me that leads with clarity, resilience, and purpose. Now, I get to pay it forward and bring that same mental fitness transformation to others.

👉🏼 What is mental fitness?
It’s your capacity to handle life’s challenges with a positive, calm, and focused mind, rather than stress, fear, or frustration.

💥 The Benefits of Positive Intelligence:
✅ Stronger relationships
✅ Less stress and burnout
✅ Better decision-making
✅ Greater happiness and fulfillment

I’m beyond excited to help individuals and teams build the mental muscles they need to thrive from the inside out. Let’s grow together! I am currently accepting new clients. Learn more: https://www.toddbertsch.com/mental-fitness-coaching/

📣 Special thanks to Christine Hockman for bringing PQ into my life! I also thank Natalie Siston for being an integral part of the early formation of this program.

⚡ Motivational Monday 🔥 “The magic is in the work you're avoiding.”

💥 That task you're putting off?
💥 The conversation you're dodging?
💥 The step that feels just a little too uncomfortable?

🤜 That’s exactly where the growth lives. The breakthrough. The magic. Lean into the resistance, because what you’re avoiding might be the very thing that moves you forward.

This week, face it head-on. You’ve got this. 💪

👔 Happy Father’s Day 💙 Today is a celebration of what it means to be a father, a mentor, and a role model.

🙏 I’m incredibly grateful for the privilege of being a dad—and for having had a great father who showed me what strength, love, and integrity look like.

🤜 Being a father isn’t just about guidance but showing up. It’s about listening, leading by example, and shaping the next generation with heart and purpose.

💥 To all the dads, father figures, and mentors out there—thank you for being the steady hand, the safe place, and the example we all need.
