If you're already feeling behind on your New Year's resolution, there's a good chance it's because no one ever taught you how to build a foundation strong enough to hold real change.

Especially when migraines are involved.

Every January, the cycle repeats. You decide this is the year things will be different. You promise yourself you'll finally get your migraines under control. And for a short while, you're motivated. You're doing the things. Trying again.

Then life happens. You get tired. You miss a day. The migraines hit. And suddenly it feels like you're right back where you started - exhausted, discouraged, and wondering why nothing ever sticks.

In this episode, I'm breaking down why resolutions fail (hint: part of it is because you've been trying to move forward without a destination, a reason, or a map).

This conversation is for the woman who is tired of white-knuckling her way through migraines. The woman who has tried all the things - supplements, diets, late-night research spirals - and still feels stuck. The woman who doesn't need more willpower, but real clarity about what she's actually working toward and how to get there.

In This Episode, You'll Hear:

• Why New Year's resolutions fail by February - and why it has nothing to do with discipline
• The difference between "wanting to be pain-free" and wanting your life back
• Why taking action without a clear destination leads to burnout and giving up
• The 4 questions that create a foundation strong enough to hold real change
• How migraines quietly steal moments, relationships, and freedom - not just your health
• Why trying harder, adding more supplements, or guessing at triggers keeps you stuck
• What you actually need to heal: a map, guidance, and the right order of support
• Why you don't need to climb the whole mountain - just take the first step

If migraine freedom is something you're seriously wanting this year, I want to invite you to take a first step with me.

Right now, I'm in the middle of my 8 Days of Giving, where I'm sharing a collection of powerful resources to help you better understand your body, your triggers, and what's actually driving your migraines.

And this Thursday, January 22nd at 6:30 PM Eastern, I'm hosting a FREE Open House where I'll show you how these tools fit together, what to start with based on your situation, and what your next step could look like without overwhelm.

Send me a DM to join me and let's talk about what's actually possible for your body.

If you live with migraines, overwhelm often becomes part of the pain.

Not just the headaches, but the constant pressure to do more.

Change your diet. Fix your hormones. Heal your gut. Balance your nervous system. And somehow do it all while you're already exhausted.

In this episode, I'm answering one of the most common and most honest questions women ask:

"If I can only do ONE thing right now to help my migraines, what should it be?"

This conversation is for the woman who doesn't have the energy for a perfect plan. The woman who isn't lazy or failing - just depleted. And who needs relief that feels supportive without adding overwhelm to her already-full plate.

I'm breaking down why there is no single "magic first step" for migraines, how chronic inflammation shows up differently for every woman, and what actually helps you move forward when your body feels like it's working against you.

This episode is a reminder that healing starts with doing one right thing for your body.

In This Episode, You'll Hear:

• Why there is no universal "first step" for migraine relief
• How chronic inflammation drives migraines - and why it looks different for every woman
• The six migraine inducers and why your unique combination matters
• Why Google searches, supplements, and generic advice often fail long-term
• Simple, nervous-system-soothing steps that help calm inflammation when you're exhausted
• How small relief can create the momentum your body needs
• Why guessing keeps you stuck - and how data-based guidance changes everything

If you live with migraines, you know that the pain is only part of the story.

There's the constant anticipation of the next one.
The quiet fear that creeps in when you make plans.
The mental math of Will I be okay that day? What if I have to cancel again?

In this episode, you'll hear Lori's story, whose life revolved around that daily uncertainty for years.

She was always waiting for the next migraine to arrive. And like so many women, she also carried guilt around prioritizing her own health. Even when she found the Freedom From Migraine Method®, fear and doubt held her back.

That fear alone became part of the problem.

This conversation is a powerful reminder of how heavy the migraine journey can feel - and how real breakthroughs often come only after we're brave enough to take the next step, even when we're unsure.

In This Episode, you'll hear:

• What it's like to live in constant anticipation of migraines, and how that chronic stress kept her nervous system stuck
• The guilt and hesitation many women feel about investing time and money into their own healing
• How fear, doubt, and skepticism actually fueled more migraines instead of protecting her
• The two dates that changed the direction of her life
• The moment everything finally clicked, including her first seven-hour night of sleep in years, and the joy that followed
