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.

93: Plan How You'll Heal From Chronic Skin Picking in 2026 (Science Based)
Most people set really crappy goals for the new year and wonder why, by mid-March, they seem to be no further than they were on January 1st.
I personally don't love the idea of New Year's resolutions, but I absolutely love goal setting and teaching others how to do it effectively because goal setting is a skill that will genuinely transform your life!
In this episode, I share with you:
- The top 3 areas you need to focus on to heal from chronic skin picking, hair pulling, and nail biting in 2026.
- How to turn them into personalised goals
- And the absolutely vital components of goal setting you must learn to ensure you follow through, stay consistent, and actually create the change you wish to see.
Everything I share with you in this episode is science-based methods and skills that I'm constantly using in my day-to-day life.
Without them, I wouldn't be who I am today, and my clients wouldn't be getting the incredible results that they do.
