About this listen

Welcome! This podcast series is about my hair pulling disorder. I decided to start this podcast after I had a strong encounter with the Holy Spirit during a church conference in 2023. The Spirit of God nonverbally but rather through me writing told me to start this podcast and that through the process I would be set free, and those who listen will also be set free.


So here I am. I am telling my whole truth as ugly and outright embarrassing as it may be, even graphic at times, starting from childhood up to now. I believe what I was told. I believe I will be set free. I believe I already am free. Furthermore, I believe you or your loved one who might be suffering from Trichotillomania can also be set free.


The main point I took away from my initial instruction is that this is a spirit we are dealing with, not just a disorder. One of satan's goons. You don’t have to be Christian to hear the truth. Get a bible handy for each show, let's stop the pull with the word of God and put our trust in the Lord. May peace be with you my beloved.

    The Church Conference

    Updated: 1 day ago


    How a church conference set the stage for a unique encounter with God. I was given an instruction that will reveal nothing but the truth to you and I in time.


    If you are anything like me you’ve had enough courage at this point to start researching what a hair pulling disorder is, the side-effects, treatment options, symptoms, etc. You've looked into blogs to see who's talking about it, even found the scientific word for it- Trichotillomania. Something led you to this series and I hope you subscribe. If you take this journey with me, one day I believe we will be set free, no pills, no piece of technology that buzzes on our arms, no drugs, no broken promises from Doctors and the healthcare system. By faith we will be set free.


    Episode #1


    “It was like my heart knew before my mind that I was going to receive a word from God… And I did.”


    A few months ago [October 2023] I went to a Church Conference in a state I’d never been to before. The last day I was the there the Lead Pastor said to the audience “if you walk away from this conference and don't have an encounter with God it’s your fault”. I know that sounds harsh, I think he's actually really nice, but he was right. If we don’t open our hearts, speaking out loud (or in writing) directly to God not only about our problems but worshipping and praying, then we can block our own blessings in this life. I chose to believe I would receive a word from God before I left that conference and I did. I had NO clue what I was going to receive - let alone that I would be exposing this dark secret I’ve held on to almost my entire life... my hair pulling disorder.


    Many prayers and miracles have been answered throughout my life, but I still kept pulling and deep down I didn't think it would ever change. I never saw the end of this disease until now. The Holy Spirit told me to start this podcast and through it I will be delivered and anyone who joins in, he, my God, the Alpha and Omega, name above all names, will deliver them too. Even if you're not a believer, God says,“Try me in doses and I will heal you."


    I want to hear from you!

    The Beginning

    Updated: 1 day ago


    When my hair pulling disorder started I was in the fourth grade. I can’t believe I am still dealing with this over 20 years later. I will not be dealing with this for much longer and neither will you IF you only believe.


    In this week’s episode, I talk about what triggered the beginning of my hair pulling disorder. If you are on this journey with me you have a beginning point too, whether you remember it or not. It all started early for me..the 4th or 5th grade to be exact.


    “ That was the first time I ever really remember feeling so embarrassed and being exposed in that way...”


    I remember the first time I crossed paths with someone who had trichotillomania. Little did I know within seconds it was going to be passed to me like a virus that had no expiration or cure. I only recently started to recall, in vivid detail, how my hair pulling disorder formed from such a young age up until now. This disorder or disease (whatever you want to call it) is nothing but a spirit from the depths of hell sent to hurt us… but God wants us to know we can rely on him to get rid of it for good. Read Mark 5 5:-9 NIV in the Bible. This is nothing new to God. There is a devil in a man in that verse. He tortured that man causing him to cut himself. This hair pulling bully is related to or is the same one.

    Symptoms and Cycles

    Updated: 1 day ago


    I immediately panicked but I wanted to play it as cool as possible because I wasn’t sure (he saw me pulling), so I gently closed the door….”


    In this week’s episode, I talk about how hair pulling manifested throughout the decades. In what will also probably be the most sensitive and vulnerable things I’ve ever divulged in my life, details of the symptoms of trichotillomania.


    “ God has me writing this and now speaking to you about this for a reason...”

    As hair pulling manifested every five to ten years things started to get worse, my hormones were constantly changing causing hair to pop up all over my body. In this episode, I speak briefly about being in a long term relationship while dealing with this "disease". If you have a similar story I encourage you to tell someone or tell your truth in this community I am building.
