Summary

In this episode, Jerrad talks with speaker and coach Pedro LaTorre. Pedro shares how childhood trauma, performance addiction, and constant busyness kept him from being present as a husband and father. He shares about the healing journey that changed everything—his marriage, his parenting, and his view of God. Through it all, he learned how to feel again and finally stepped into the kind of man God had been calling him to be.
What You’ll hear:
• How emotional wounds from childhood shaped Pedro’s identity
• Why performance can look spiritual but still be toxic
• How healing helped him stop striving and start connecting
• What changed in his marriage when he finally got honest
• Why most men avoid their heart—and how to stop running
• What it means to live free as a son of God, not a performer

Healing is possible—and it leads to freedom in every part of your life.
