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.

23: Live your life on your terms by becoming more conscious
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
"Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will rule your life and you will call it Fate." - Carl Jung
The more present and conscious we become, the more control we have over ourselves and our lives.
So where do we start to become more present and conscious?
And if you've already been on this path a while, how do we take it even deeper?
In this episode, you'll learn how to identify the subtleties of when you're living unconsciously because it's not always so obvious! When we miss these subtle red flags we end up feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, under-appreciated, anxious, and frustrated with life.
This episode will help you to become the captain of your own ship rather than the second in command or a deck scrubber.
Enjoy!
