About this episode
Amber Semerau discusses her experiences with migraines and the importance of self-care during challenging times.
In this episode, I’m sharing a recent experience with migraines, emotional overload, and perimenopause that forced me to slow down and reevaluate how I’ve been caring for myself. We’ll talk about nervous system stress, pushing through burnout, the importance of rest and reflection, and why I’m learning to work with my body instead of against it. This is a gentle conversation about slowing down, healing, and finding peace in a season that often asks us to do the opposite.
