Managing migraines used to feel like a game of chance—sometimes I’d go days feeling fine, and other times a sudden aura would leave me out of commission for hours. It wasn’t until I started taking self-care seriously that I began to notice real changes. If you’re navigating the unpredictable waters of migraines, building a solid…
It took me years to realize that one of the biggest triggers for my migraines wasn’t some exotic allergy or rare neurological issue—it was my chaotic schedule.

If you’re someone who’s wrestled with migraines for years—like I have—you probably know how frustrating it can be when even the slightest trigger flips your whole day upside down. I used to think migraines were just headaches. But nope. They’re full-on events. And while I’ve tried prescriptions, gadgets, and even random tricks from TikTok, it…
