You went 10 days without a migraine. You were so excited. You thought you finally figured it out.

Then boom....migraine. Day 10.

And your mind spirals: What did I do wrong? I'm doomed. Nothing works for me. My husband eats Doritos by the bag and doesn't get migraines. I'm being so careful and I still got one.

Sound familiar?

In this episode, I'm breaking down why you're not actually failing, and why that migraine on Day 10 doesn't mean you're back at square one.

Here's what we think will happen when our body starts healing: Every day gets a little better. Every week is better than the last. A nice, smooth 45-degree line straight up to 100%.

That's not what actually happens.

We zigzag our way back to health. You feel better, then you dip. Then better again, then another dip. But each dip doesn't take you back to zero, you're still ahead of where you started.

I just had this conversation with my client Shannon. She had daily head pain and 3-4 migraines per week when we started. She was taking Excedrin nearly every day (which puts you into rebound—more on that in the free training linked below).

This week, she went 10 days without a migraine. Her baseline head pain dropped from a 3-4 to a 1. She was thrilled.

Then I told her something she didn't want to hear: "You're going to get another migraine."

Because healing doesn't happen in a straight line. And when that next migraine hits, she's already won. She went from 12 migraines a month to 3. That's a massive improvement—even if Day 11 brings another flare.

There are four areas of improvement I look for with every client:

If you see improvement in these areas, you're healing—even if you still get migraines.

Your mind won't tell you this. When you dip, your mind says: "I'm doomed. I'm defective. Nothing works."

But the data tells a different story. And if you don't understand this, you'll throw in the towel right when you're making progress.
