I just want to see the blue sky again


Sometimes I wake up and it feels like I’m breathing second-hand smoke.

I haven’t seen a clear blue sky in a long time here in Boise, Idaho.

We live in a valley that has been collecting wildfire smoke from across the Pacific Northwest for the past month.

The poor air quality and heat have been oppressive.

I recently saw a new study that higher levels of wildfire smoke were linked to more migraine and headache-related ER visits.

I believe it.

I’ve felt trapped by the summer weather lately, in the same way that people get cabin fever in the winter.

It just doesn’t feel healthy to go outside for long, especially when heat and smoke are migraine triggers for me.

That’s why it was literally a breath of fresh air to take my kids to a music camp last week in the mountains.

The cooler temps and cleaner air did wonders for my migraine and my mood.

It felt amazing to simply see the blue sky and be able to go for a walk with my dog!

Living with chronic migraine can feel like you’re living in a constant haze of smoke.

You feel trapped, limited and yucky day after day.

Even ordinary things can feel harder than they should be.

Beyond Migraine coaching is that catalyst that can help you clear the migraine haze.

So you can wake up to more symptom-free blue sky days.

We can't control every trigger or prevent every migraine attack. But we can work together to help you feel less trapped by migraine and more capable of making choices that support the life you want to live.

Beyond Migraine is my personalized 8-week coaching program that begins September 21. I'll be welcoming just 5 new clients.

If you’ve felt trapped by chronic migraine, reach out and book a complimentary Insight Call.

Wishing you more clear blue-sky days ahead.

Retirement is supposed to be the time when you finally get to enjoy your life. More time for travel.More time with family.More time to exercise, pursue hobbies, see friends, or simply do whatever you want. But what if migraine doesn't get the memo? After years of coaching women with migraine, I've noticed some common misconceptions about what happens when you retire. Myth #1: Migraine will get better once you retire or go through menopause. Unfortunately, that's not always the case. Some...

I love so many aspects of Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT)... Tools to decrease your preoccupation around your symptoms Pain education to better understand your chronic pain Encouragement to treat yourself with more gentleness and compassion But... Some people who promote PRT and similar mind-body approaches oversimplify the complex factors that contribute to chronic migraine. They may dismiss the real biological or hormonal aspects of migraine altogether. And that oversimplification can turn...

June was my worst migraine month in a long time. I felt like I could barely go a day without needing medication. It was a big month of changes: two out-of-state trips, a new summer schedule for the kids, my June Support Month sale, major house repairs, and participating in local Migraine and Headache Awareness events. When I read that back to myself, I think, "No wonder I had so many migraine attacks!" Our migraine brains get easily overwhelmed by change, whether it's travel, weather, stress,...
