  • Nora is the best!

    I’m a huge fan of TTFA and to see Nora bring levity into these conversations is epic! As someone who has had migraines for many years, juggling it now with two young kids - I love to hear the personal and medical points of view!

  • Great topic

    I’m excited about this podcast because it’s me. I have chronic migraine and only a year ago started talking to me doctor about it. The podcast is too short. I feel like it doesn’t dive in very deep. I would love to hear more from both the Dr and the interviewee in every episode. I hope the podcast grows!!
