  1. What It Means to Thrive With Migraine

    06/11/2023

    What It Means to Thrive With Migraine

    What does it mean to thrive with a health condition like migraine? This tangled web of accepting, surviving, and thriving is the topic of choice for this very last episode of Health & (un)Wellness’ first season, Mighty With Migraine. Kat and Skye explore their complicated feelings about thriving (they aren’t there! and that’s OK!), share what they’re most proud of accomplishing despite both of their migraine diagnoses, and take a nostalgic stroll through the entire season. Bring on the introspection, friends — and thanks for listening. Head to The Mighty for a transcript of the episode and to read related stories: https://bit.ly/3QFDZHq

  2. How to Support Someone With Migraine

    How to Support Someone With Migraine

    True or false: Empathy and compassion are muscles that can be strengthened. In this episode, Kat and Skye share their thoughts on this topic and some other dos and don’ts when it comes to supporting someone with migraine. (Hint: We don’t want you to fix us, we just want you to sit with us in our discomfort.) Kat gets emotional on the mic about her family’s adoption of spoon theory over the years, and Skye explores the helplessness loved ones can feel when they watch someone they care about deal with chronic pain. Be sure to stick with us until the end, when the co-hosts’ very own loved ones impart their advice for other caregivers — because you deserve support, too.

  3. Migraine Advocacy for Beginners

    Migraine Advocacy for Beginners

    Advocacy doesn’t have a singular look — it can be quiet or loud; it can happen in your homes or on Capitol Hill. In this can’t-miss conversation, Kat and Skye have the honor of speaking with Morgan Fitzgerald, a migraine advocate, neuroscience Ph.D. student, and creator of the Life With Migraine community. Morgan shares her migraine journey — a tale of both hope and recovery — and how she stumbled into advocacy and gained confidence along the way.

    Tips, Hacks, and Tools for Managing Migraine

    Sharing is caring — especially with chronic illness — and in this week’s episode, Skye and Kat trade tips, tricks, hacks, and tools with three of their Mighty colleagues who also live with migraine: Alexandria, Anjana, and Jess. They share what works (and what doesn’t) for managing their symptoms and do a little reflection on what they wish they would’ve known a little earlier in their migraine journeys. Come for the tips, stay for the camaraderie. Head to The Mighty for a transcript of the episode and to read related stories: https://bit.ly/3LAcCeL

    Go ahead and press pause on your FOMO. For anyone who struggles to socialize or keep plans, this episode is for you.

  6. Migraine in the Workplace

    Migraine in the Workplace

    In this week’s venting-sesh-turned-productive conversation, Kat and Skye are joined by headache specialist and executive committee member of the International Headache Society Global Patient Advocacy Coalition (IHS-GPAC), Olivia Begasse de Dhaem MD, FAHS. Together, they discuss why people with migraine struggle to succeed in the workplace (spoiler alert: it’s not them), how others can support them, and tips for requesting individualized accommodations. Oh, and in case you’re curious of the episode’s general vibes: People with migraine want to work, but often can’t due to inaccessible workplaces or lack of flexible career opportunities.

  7. Mental Health, Meet Migraine

    14/08/2023

    Mental Health, Meet Migraine

    Be it depression, anxiety, PTSD, or another comorbid mental illness — we cannot talk about migraine without discussing mental health. In this episode, Kat and Skye set down their humor in exchange for vulnerability. They share their personal experiences with chronic pain, anxiety, and depression; and how grief, fear, and isolation factor into the equation. Come for the realness, stay for the glimmer of hope. Please note: This conversation includes heavy mental health topics such as suicide and suicidal thoughts. This section takes place from 9:03 to 12:32 if you’d like to skip it. If you or a loved one needs help right now, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988 or contact the Crisis Text Line by texting HOME to 741741.

    Migraine Stigma and Misconceptions

    Ready for a rant about the outdated 0-10 pain scale? There will never be enough time to fully demystify the stigma surrounding migraine, but Kat and Skye sure give it the college try! In this episode, they’re joined by Amy Wickstrom, Executive Director of the American Migraine Foundation, and Dr. Christine Lay, Chair of the American Migraine Foundation, and a neurologist and headache specialist who is also the founding director of the University of Toronto’s headache program. Tune in for a jam-packed conversation about the history of migraine, tips for combatting stigma within health care environments, plus an alternative model for how patients can describe their brain symptoms including pain. Head to The Mighty for a transcript of the episode and to read related stories: https://bit.ly/3KiAd2W The American Migraine Foundation, along with its program presenters, refrains from endorsing any specific products or companies.
