What We Carry: Migraine, Family, and Grace

Migraine can change how we see ourselves, but it doesn’t erase who we are.

In this episode, Katie joins me for a deeply honest conversation about life with migraine: the treatments we try, the people we lean on, and the invisible weight we carry. We talk about how cognitive symptoms affected our ability to work and the painful decision to leave careers we once loved. Through it all, we reflect on the importance of self-compassion, connection, and grace.

You’ll hear us talk about:

• How migraine can quietly reshape identity
• The emotional toll of cognitive dysfunction and job loss
• The sometimes long, unpredictable road of trial-and-error treatment
• How Katie holds onto hope, even on the hardest days
• What it means to show yourself grace

If you’ve ever felt confused, frustrated, or alone in your treatment journey, this episode offers a reminder that you’re not walking it alone.
