Have you struggled to balance your career and your health? Have you wondered if mindfulness and meditation could help you stay grounded? Then you are listening to the right episode. 

Today’s guest is Grace Adams, an Australian native, who has been managing chronic migraine, chronic fatigue, and orthostatic intolerance for a number of years. She is the founder of innovation migraine, a migraine patient advocate, and a champion of the power of mindfulness.

This conversation traverses Grace’s journey from the difficult turning point at which she had to step back from her career to her decision to start Innovation Migraine, which promotes the innovation taking place in migraine and advocates for governments, institutions, and companies to take migraine seriously. We discuss the factors that played into her decision to stop working full-time. We review the work that she has already completed under innovation migraine and the hopes that she has for the project moving forward. We touch on the realities of receiving migraine care in Australia and compare the resources that are available to those in the US. Finally, we round out the episode with an examination of mindfulness and meditation practices and how Grace uses these tools to stay afloat through the waves of chronic illness.
