Episode Details

Vestibular migraine recovery is possible — even after years of 24/7 chronic dizziness, vertigo, panic, and feeling like you're in hell. Janelle shares her raw, emotional journey from childhood panic attacks to debilitating vestibular symptoms — and full freedom today.

In this inspiring interview, Janelle opens up about:

Childhood onset of panic attacks, nystagmus-like sensations, and evolving into vertigo & dizziness

The terrifying "last day of her previous life" in April 2022, evolving into constant rocking, swaying, motion sickness, Alice in Wonderland syndrome, derealization, brain fog, and suicidal-level despair Dismissive doctors, endless tests (MRI, VNG, ENT visits), misdiagnoses, vestibular migraine label, strict low-sodium diets, weight loss, and fear-driven spirals

The turning point: discovering neural circuit dizziness (mind-body symptoms), somatic tracking, compassionate body scans, turning toward fear, and deep self-compassion work

Breakthroughs in understanding her body as a protector — not broken — and releasing core beliefs around being a burden, chaos, abandonment fears, and childhood patterns

How she moved from bedbound isolation to vacations, motherhood without limits, no food restrictions (yes — even chocolate, cheese, tomatoes, bananas!), and 6+ months vertigo-free

Why vestibular rehab helped initially but mind-body tools (somatic tracking, guided exposures, disconfirmation of limiting beliefs) delivered lasting recovery

If you're struggling with PPPD, vestibular migraine, MdDS, chronic dizziness, visual disturbances, sensory overload, anxiety-driven vertigo, or feeling "broken," Janelle's story proves: You are not broken. The answers are here. You have the capability to heal.
