We spend so much time analyzing migraine symptoms — tracking every twinge, researching why pain moves from one side of the head to the other, trying another pill, another article, another "fix." But have you ever stopped to look at the emotional toll migraines are taking on your life?

In this episode, I'm breaking down the hidden cost of migraines: the anxiety, depression, numbness, anger, and skepticism that weigh you down just as much as the pain itself. I'll walk you through:

• Why it's natural to obsess over pain — and why that obsession keeps you stuck
• How the constant stress of "fight or flight" fuels chronic inflammation (and migraines)
• The real stories of women who thought mindfulness "wasn't their jam" — and what shifted for them
• Why society's push-through mentality is making you sicker, not stronger
• How emotional health connects directly to sleep, energy, and even your physical pain

Migraines don't just live in your head — they live in your whole body. And until you address the emotional exhaustion, you'll keep fighting an uphill battle.

Inside the Freedom From Migraines Method®, we don't skip this step. With a mindfulness coach and a dedicated NeuroRewire course, you'll finally have the tools to calm your stress response and lower the inflammation driving your pain.
