The perception of chronic migraines as "just headaches" need to change in the workplace.  An Otago University study shows nearly a quarter of participants experience the disease for at least 15 days a month.  It's suggested it causes significant levels of disability and limits people's ability to work and socialise.  Researcher Sue Garrett told Mike Hosking that employers need to recognise how bad it can get.  She says people would drug up before going to work and spend their day offs recovering.  Garrett says people want to work but would like more support in the workplace.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Alicia Wolf is a cook, recipe developer, and cookbook author who has pushed through her own condition to find that healthier eating has helped. Rethinking the food you eat doesn't need to include an all-consuming diet plan; that doesn't work. Nora and Alicia discuss some realistic eating habit changes that can be easily worked into even the busiest schedule.

In the first episode of The Head Start: Embracing the Journey, Nora McInerny gets to talk to living legend Kristin Chenoweth about the pressure and power of living in the public eye. There is a push and pull between the nerves or fear of being judged and the addicting adrenaline rush of performing in front of a community of people that seems to understand you. Kristin and Nora share their stories of struggling with the pressure to work through their vulnerabilities in a public forum and how much harder Kristin's journey has been because of battling Chronic Migraine. She's had to literally lean on her co-stars for support, cancel gigs, and has even gotten sick on stage. But through all of that, she really just wants to help others find their inner strength and lean into a community that understands.
