How Mike Watts Overcame Years of Chronic Skin Issues and Found Balance in His Life | Episode 5

Calm Your Nervous System

Men can often find it much harder to open up and be vulnerable with others than women do, but have you ever considered how this could impact them when they find themselves struggling with a chronic illness? Diving into this topic and so much more with me is Mike Watts, the co-founder of an online educational company with his wife, Kate Northrup, whose mission is to help women create a better relationship with money, sex and power. Mike also shares his experience with being hit by a car and how stress set off a chronic skin condition that took him years to overcome.

In this episode, we’re chatting about:

• The impact stress had on Mike and how it triggered a chronic illness
• Balancing work, life and health and why you need to know the limit of what your health will allow you to do
• How men’s healing journey is different to women’s
• Opening up to others, being vulnerable and asking for support
