It’s one thing to see your child with a scraped knee, but watching them double over in pain because of a migraine? That’s a different kind of heartbreak. As a parent, I’ve been there—feeling helpless, unsure if the pain will pass or if it needs serious intervention. When my 9-year-old started experiencing migraines, I dove…
Let’s be real for a second — anxiety and sleep problems are like that clingy duo that just won’t give you a break. For years, I used to lie in bed staring at the ceiling, heart racing for no reason, overthinking every little thing from what I said in a meeting to whether I remembered…
