Welcome! I’m Gillean, host of Migraine Realities. I live in the beautiful Sierra Nevada mountains of California, where life is a little slower and the air smells heavenly. I’ve lived with chronic migraine and other painful neurological conditions – including chronic cluster headache, trigeminal and occipital neuralgia, and vestibular migraine for over 40 years, so I know how exhausting, frustrating, and isolating it can be.

That’s why I started Migraine Realities, to talk frankly about what this life is really like and to make sure no one feels like they have to go through it alone.

When I’m not podcasting or writing, I love to sew quilts, watercolor paint and spend time in the garden with my husband, who grows hundreds of dahlias for us to enjoy and share.

Honesty, connection, and real conversation matter to me, and I’m so glad you’re here.
