Why Men Need Vulnerability to Heal
Mitch Webb on trauma, chronic illness, and the nervous system’s role in real recovery.
What if chasing symptoms isn’t the answer to healing?
Mitch Webb’s story is one of resilience and transformation. After a car accident, toxic mold exposure, and a battle with Lyme disease, Mitch found himself exhausted, anxious, and stuck in the cycle of “fixing” symptoms without ever getting better.
Everything changed when he discovered the role of the nervous system in healing. He realized trauma isn’t just for war veterans — it’s a universal human experience, often stored in the body and expressed through chronic illness, anxiety, and burnout.
In this episode of the Powerful Introvert Podcast, Mitch shares how he rebuilt his health and now helps high performers do the same. We explore:
Why trauma and stress patterns get stuck in the nervous system
How chronic illness and anxiety are often subconscious protection mechanisms
Why men in particular struggle with vulnerability — and how it keeps them from healing
Tools for nervous system regulation and emotional release
How leaders can heal themselves and model healthier cultures
This conversation is for anyone facing burnout, chronic stress, or health challenges—and for leaders who want to approach success with authenticity, balance, and energy.
