    Introducing Two Generations, One Shared Disease: A Conversation with Mother and Son from The Head Start: Embracing the Journey.

    Follow the show: The Head Start: Embracing the Journey

    It’s one thing, as a parent, to deal with your own struggles, but to watch your kid go through it - to see them face obstacles and struggles can be excruciating. It often feels like the parent’s job is to shield their child from hardships. In this episode, Nora shares the story of Angel and Xavier, a mother and son who are no strangers to Chronic Migraine, supporting each other through their respective journeys. They shine a light on their shared burden and how it may impact different generations. They push back on the pressure for parents to hide their struggles from their children, instead choosing to create a dynamic where it is ok to ask for help and need rest.
