Her Breaking Point Became Her Breakthrough: Lori’s Migraine Story

If you’ve ever lived in constant anticipation of your next migraine, you are going to see yourself in Lori immediately.

Before Lori found her breakthrough, her stress level stayed high every single day. She never knew when the next migraine would hit. She worried about making plans because she never wanted to cancel at the last minute. She worried about the cost of trying one more thing. She and her husband had just retired, and like so many women, she felt guilty even thinking about spending money on herself instead of the house or the family.

She even wondered if the Freedom From Migraine Method® might be a scam.
And once she finally took the leap, she was mad at herself for letting that worry create even more migraines.

That is how heavy this journey can feel.

But here is where Lori’s story becomes incredibly special.

She now has two dates that are etched in her heart.
Two dates that completely changed the direction of her life.
Two dates that mark the beginning of a chapter she never believed she’d get to experience.

And when you hear what happened on September 17 and September 18, it will make you stop and imagine what dates like that could mean for you too.

Today, she shares that “you do not have to suffer as long as I did.”
She reminds every woman reading that your life is long, your future is valuable, and you are worth the effort it takes to heal.
In her words, the time and energy she invested in her migraine freedom was only a blip in her life compared to the freedom, health, and joy she now gets to live every day.

And she hopes her experience gives you the encouragement she wishes she had sooner.

Her full story is powerful. Emotional. Hopeful.
And I want you to hear it in her own voice.

Debbie will uncover what is holding them back from migraine freedom so they can live their life pain and symptom free, work productively, spend the time they want with family and friends, and stop missing out on the things they enjoy.

A message from Debbie:
"I was once right where you are now. 100% believing there was NO WAY to end migraines and my only option was to learn how to live with them or find that magic pill that maybe would work for a while. If anyone told me back then that I could end my pain once and for all, I would have called BS and popped another pill!

Skeptical times 10 was my middle name for sure because when you try it all and everyone tells you they can help you and they don’t. You stop believing… you lose HOPE!

I now realize I was approaching my migraines all backward.

I was trying to cover up symptoms versus trying to end my pain."
