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.

WARNING: If you're looking for a "quick fix" this episode is not for you.

Let's be real, if preventing falling into yet another picking, pulling, or biting session were easy... this episode wouldn't be necessary.

If we could "just stop" we would.

Most information and support you'll find on managing and healing from a BFRB are simply a collection of creative ways to AVOID your BFRB which only works for so long... until we snap and relapse back into the behaviour we have been avoiding.

There's a far more effective path that will give you back your power and help you to gradually reduce the length, severity, and frequency of BFRB* sessions until it is no longer a part of your life.

All is revealed in this episode!

Is there a link between BFRBs and ADHD?

There is! This episode explores how this impacts you and how you can become the master of your own mind and behaviour through ditching societal "norms" and learning how to live for yourself.

Raffaela explores this topic through sharing her story of learning to live harmoniously with ADHD and how it helped her to recover from chronic skin picking.

If you have ADHD or suspect you have ADHD, and you're also on your healing journey from a BFRB, then this empowering and inspiring episode is for you!
