Beyond Skin Picking & Hair Pulling
Beyond Skin Picking & Hair Pulling is a podcast for high-achieving women who want freedom from their BFRB*; they want more authenticity, deeper confidence, to feel powerfully secure in who they are, so they can do more of what they love.
Hosted by Raffaela Marie - speaker, mentor, and creator of the STRENGTH Method - who overcame chronic skin picking, selective mutism, social anxiety, and depression, not by forcing willpower, but by healing from the inside out and addressing the true root causes.
Each episode offers a no-fluff look at healing from body-focused repetitive behaviours through the lens of self-confidence and authenticity. Raffaela blends psychology, neuroscience, and real-world experience to uncover what’s truly driving the urge to pick, and how to find lasting freedom from it.
Listeners walk away with tangible tools they can apply immediately to reduce urges, regulate emotions, and build emotional resilience. Beyond symptom management, this podcast helps you reconnect to your authentic self, feel grounded in your worth, and create lasting freedom from BFRBs*.
If you’re ready to stop performing, start healing, and build confidence that feels real, you’re in the right place.
*BFRB = Body Focused Repetitive Behaviours like chronic skin picking, nail/cheek biting, and hair pulling.
Beyond Skin Picking & Hair Pulling
88: You could be missing this vital piece to inner freedom
Skin picking, hair pulling, and nail biting won't stop without this vital piece.
I've spoken to hundreds of people like you in this community, and they all want the same thing: relief, a break, the space to be themselves without this behaviour constantly getting in their way, like a shackle around their legs or a thorn in their side.
What I've noticed is that this "vital piece" holds the key to their chains, and yet almost every person I speak to is missing it, OR they're not as connected to it as they could be.
What I'm about to share with you completely transformed my life at 15 years old and has continued to guide me ever since.
Listen in to find out what it is and be guided through a powerful exercise to help you access it for yourself today!
