Positive affirmations truly can help you to heal from chronic skin picking, hair pulling, and nail biting BUT...

You've got to go about creating them in the right way.

Most people don't, and so they end up with affirmations that err on the side of toxic positivity. They give the "ick" and make people believe that affirmations are just useless fluff with no substance.

Toxic positivity is useless fluff, but true affirmations are deeply powerful and will help you to stay grounded as you navigate your way through the storms of healing.

• They're a reminder of your strength when you feel like you have none.
• They're a light in the dark when you feel lost.
• They're a warming touch when self-belief feels cold and distant.

In this episode, avoid the common mistakes most people make, ground into your greatness, and learn how to build your own unique, healing affirmations through a deep exploration of you.

My name is Raffaela Marie. I'm a holistic BFRB coach who has healed from 15 years of chronic skin picking myself and dedicated my life to helping driven women do the same. Through my podcast, free resources, and programs, I teach strategies to overcome urges, build emotional safety, and expand into authenticity. My approach goes beyond quick fixes, focusing on root causes and long-term recovery.

We all have a few abandoned and neglected HEALTHY habits weighing on the back of our minds...

"I should journal more, meditate more, exercise more, eat better, or finally get back into that hobby."

We know they'd be good for us if we just did them more regularly.

If thinking about these neglected habits makes you feel kinda shitty about yourself, then this episode was recorded for you.

Find out what might be the real culprit holding you back from following through and what you can do about it that will truly make a difference to your life.

It's not as complex as you might think!

There's a 99% chance you've been in this trap.

In the three years I've been supporting people heal from chronic skin picking, hair pulling, and nail biting, I have yet to meet someone who hasn't struggled with this too.

I did for years, and I still catch myself slipping into this self-sabotaging and degrading way of thinking.

If you want to feel more content, present, and fulfilled in your day-to-day life, make sure you listen to this because navigating this mental trap is a MUST!

This is what really works.

And it's got nothing to do with willpower or expensive therapeutic treatment.

I discovered this at one of the lowest moments in my healing journey and, to this day, it continues to change my life for the better.

Because the truth is, you're not struggling with chronic skin picking, hair pulling, or nail biting - you're struggling with shame.

And I guarantee, the skin picking became a problem because you needed help coping with the shame (and stress and overwhelm), NOT the other way round.

To truly heal - feel better in ourselves and finally be able to relax and just "be" - we need to approach healing differently.

What I share with you in this episode is the approach that makes all the difference.

I can't wait for you to gain this invaluable tool!

Questions from this episode to save in your phone:
- What do I need right now?

- What is this moment trying to teach me?

- Is there anything I'm avoiding doing or saying in my life right now?

- Is there a hard conversation I know I need to have?

- Is there a boundary I'm not setting that my heart is telling me I need, but I'm afraid to act on?

- Where am I putting too much pressure on myself?

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:

1. The top 3 areas you need to focus on to heal from chronic skin picking, hair pulling, and nail biting in 2026.
2. How to turn them into personalised goals
3. 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.

Listen in to set yourself up for real change in 2026!

Trying to get them to “just stop” isn’t working. In fact, it’s probably making things worse.

There is a right way and a wrong way to support someone with a chronic body-focused repetitive behaviour (BFRB). Unfortunately, there isn’t much information out there explaining what the right way actually is. That’s why I created this episode.

It’s short, because supporting your loved one effectively is much simpler than you might think.

You may even discover a thing or two about yourself while listening!

It's not because of genetics, or because you lack willpower, or because you're just a malfunctioning human being.

It's because you didn't learn this one vital skill.

This skill lies at the core of why you pick, pull, & bite and learning it is the most powerful and effective path to healing you can take.

Listen in to find out what this skill is, why you never learnt it, and how you can truly start!

You'll be surprised how this is also making you pick, pull, and bite at your body...

Somewhere between childhood and adulthood, we lost that zest for life. Rather than waking up looking forward to the day, we wake up not wanting to get out of bed, dreading what the day might bring, or feeling an underlying sense of urgency, like we're already behind.

Here's what the solution is not...

It's not doing more and trying harder, or quitting your job, selling all your belongings, and moving to a cabin in the woods.

The solution is not so drastic or dramatic.

In truth, it lies in learning how to slow down despite the never-ending to-do list.

It's easier said than done, but when you learn the simple yet powerful practice inside this episode, it will feel so much more achievable than ever before.

Oh, and it will help you to reduce picking, pulling and biting.

Listen in to find out how and why!
