In this first part of a deeply personal two-part conversation, Mitch sits down with co-host Brian to begin opening up about his journey—both in life and in law enforcement. From childhood struggles to the early signs of emotional weight building behind the badge, Mitch starts to unpack the foundation of a story he’s kept private for far too long.
This episode isn’t about rock bottom—it’s about what comes before. The quiet pressure. The pain behind the smile. The moments when life feels heavy, but you don’t know how to ask for help yet.
For the first time, Mitch shares the early chapters of the story that would eventually lead to Shielded Voices. Part Two dives even deeper—but this is where it begins.
