Sheena suffered from migraine with aura for 18 years before being diagnosed with the condition referred to as the suicide disease. <br/><br/>We open this episode with Sheena walking us through her journey, losing an athletic scholarship to hopping on a plan to have microvascular decompression surgery on the right side of her head. She went on to have the surgery done again on her left side and now has helped over 150+ people seek treatment through her neurosurgeon. Sheena talks about what she learned going through the experience, how mindset was necessary, and that not having the diagnosis was the biggest challenge. We finish with conversations around the charitable foundation she plans to create, and the community events she and Planet Ford 635 are doing to help veterans. <br/><br/>These are our friends. These are your friends. AND they are living the extraordinary.<p>For a transcript of this episode, go to <a href='https://www.behindthedreamers.com/'>www.behindthedreamers.com</a>.</p>
