In this episode, Cassie discusses how migraine and other changes in life can be managed with patience and self-compassion, and how it’s about finding what works through trial and error. We’re joined by Cassie from Indiana, a mom of two young children and a former public health physical therapist. Cassie opens up about her long and challenging journey with migraine, which began with severe dizziness and sickness in high school. What seemed like a stomach flu turned out to be the onset of a lifelong struggle with migraine. Cassie’s story is one of remarkable resilience and adaptation. She emphasizes the importance of understanding and evolving with your body through different life phases—from childhood and puberty to pregnancy and beyond. Instead of striving to return to a past version of herself, Cassie embraces the journey of becoming a new version of herself, learning to meet her body’s needs in the present.
