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.

79: The 3 Ingredients Every Relationship Needs (Beyond Just Love) | Adam Hudson
Love might light the spark, but it won’t keep the fire burning.
In this episode, coach Adam Hudson breaks down the three core ingredients that make love last and shows how to navigate the messy middle between the honeymoon phase and real life.
You’ll learn:
- The 3 essentials beyond love: attraction, real compatibility, and shared values/life goals
- How to ride out the end of the honeymoon phase with expectations that actually work
- 3 early red flags to stop ignoring: moving in too fast, early kid/family introductions, and ex-entanglements
- A simple way to start hard talks: the walk-and-talk, a one-sentence opener, and the “us vs. the problem” frame
- Why commitment + communication are the icing that helps everything grow, together and individually
If you’ve wondered why love hasn’t been “enough,” this conversation gives you the missing structure and scripts. Adam also shares his free 28-day communication resource. Check the show notes for the link.
