About this episode

In this episode of The Head Start: Embracing the Journey, Nora tackles the idea of having a creative outlet to express your struggles which, as her experience shows, may not be as straightforward as expected. Nora is joined by artist Priya Rama who uses her art as a way to show what she is feeling during her migraine attacks. This has not only become an outlet for Priya to communicate her experience but also a way for other people to better understand the experience of someone living with Chronic Migraine. Nora and Priya dive into how creative outlets can be a necessity for some people with Chronic Migraine and how finding those outlets must be an organic journey.
