| 6/2/26 | 115: Chronic Skin Picking is an Addiction, Not OCD | This is why the typical treatments for OCD - CBT and habit reversal - just don't seem to work. You've been falling through the cracks of ill-fitted treatment and blaming yourself for being a hopelessly broken human being. It's not your fault. You've just been misinformed and going about healing the wrong way. If this resonates, then odds are you'll find hope and a path forward in this episode. You'll learn: 🌟How a behaviour can become an addiction 🌟Where addiction comes from 🌟How you can heal... | 26m 25s | ||||||
| 5/26/26 | 114: Why You Procrastinate The Things You Know Are Good For You | It's because of your inner critic. But it's not enough to know this one small fact. In fact, maybe reading this leaves you feeling more lost than before. This is because our mind needs to understand the WHY behind new information to make sense of it and organise it in our brain in a way that is helpful. It's like you're on a long hike and someone adds a new, sparkly tool to your backpack. You get the sense it's important, but you don't know what it's for or how to use it, so it just becomes a... | 25m 58s | ||||||
| 5/19/26 | 113: The Origin Of Intrusive Thoughts & How To Stop Them | You're not a freak. I used to feel like there was something deeply wrong with me because of the thoughts that would barge their way into my head at the most random, inappropriate moments. But judging yourself and trying to force the intrusive thoughts away has much the same effect as when we do the same with skin picking, hair pulling, and nail biting - it just makes things worse. Sometimes destructively worse. I hear you. I see you. Let's work on this together. What you'll learn: 🌟Where your... | 23m 02s | ||||||
| 5/12/26 | 112: Why Do I Pick More During PMS? | Yes, hormonal changes are the obvious answer. But let's not forget the medical gaslighting most women have experienced on this topic, AND the unconscious gaslighting we do to ourselves. What is it about all this that makes you want to pick, pull, and bite at your body with a whole new vigour every single month? I think you can feel it. There's something there that isn't being taken seriously that really deserves to be. It's time to understand what that is for you so that you can better care f... | 23m 13s | ||||||
| 5/5/26 | 111: Embracing Authenticity to Freedom from Chronic Skin Picking | Yasmin's Story | Stories of success and healing are few and far between in the BFPA* community (*BFPA = BFRB + addiction science) And even when you hear about someone healing from chronic skin picking, hair pulling, or nail biting, there's a little voice that says... "It's not for me." "I'm not like them." That's because you're not getting the full story! You're not hearing the how behind the transformation. In this interview with one of my former clients, Yasmin, that's exactly what you'll get. You’ll not on... | 53m 02s | ||||||
| 4/28/26 | 110: 4 Most Powerful Growth Areas For Skin Picking & Hair Pulling | Are you serious about addressing the root cause of chronic picking, pulling, and/or biting? Are you willing to set aside instant gratification for depth and long-term gain? Then let's talk about the 4 most powerful growth areas! In my 15 years of healing and the 3 years I have spent coaching others, like you, to heal as well, I've observed that the greatest change happens when we stop obsessing over how to control and stop this ONE behaviour and start looking at ourselves as a whole, unique h... | 29m 18s | ||||||
| 4/21/26 | 109: How to Rest Without Becoming Lazy | Do you feel like you can only rest AFTER all the work is done? While this makes sense for certain tasks, kicking your boots off after a long day's work can certainly feel gratifying. What happens if we struggle to find the time to ever allow ourselves to metaphically "kick off our boots?" When you're stuck on "go", these moments of relief can feel like they're few and far between. And the idea of just giving yourself a break before everything is done feels like a slippery slope into procrasti... | 25m 27s | ||||||
| 4/14/26 | 108: Why You Can't Slow Down + Somatic Practice to Show You How | Chronic skin picking, hair pulling, & nail biting are the result of a disregulated nervous system. So it only makes sense that part of healing involves learning how to regulate it. This means learning how to slow down. AKA - Rest. Easy peasy, right? Right?? Unfortunately, for people like you and me, we didn't really learn how to switch off. Our system is constantly on go, and so it never feels like the right time to stop, or when you do manage it, it's accompanied with anxiety, restlessne... | 26m 08s | ||||||
| 4/7/26 | 107: 5 Steps to Create Safety, Intimacy & Depth in Your Relationships | Adam Hudson | We cannot have true safety, intimacy, and depth without hard conversations. Yet many of us struggle to know how to have a hard conversation and, when we try, it just seems to make things worse rather than better. So what's the point then? The point is this: “The quality of your relationships determines the quality of your life.” - Esther Perel The quality of how you communicate determines the quality of your relationships. If your relationship is not where you want it to be, there is a h... | 1h 10m 37s | ||||||
| 3/31/26 | 106: Most Effective Practice to Heal Skin Picking & Hair Pulling | You've tried gloves, covering mirrors, fidget toys, and maybe even CBT or habit reversal, but none of them really seem to get you the results you're looking for. The problem is that they don't address the root cause. Emotion is the driving force behind this behaviour, and when we don't address it, it continues to rule our lives. This looks like urges you can't resist and frustrating patterns of procrastination, self-sabotage, and impulsivity that perpetually get in the way of you living.... | 20m 51s | ||||||

| 3/24/26 | 105: Why you pick even on a good day and how to stop | It's infuriating and confusing. Why in the world, after a great day, do you end up ruining it with a big old session of picking, pulling, or biting? The answer is actually pretty simple - you're disregulated. AND the best way you've learnt how to calm yourself down is to squish your emotions back down into their box rather than feel them fully. The problem is, knowing the "how" of meditation, breathwork, journaling, and going for a walk doesn't help you to know the "how" of feeling fully. Log... | 17m 36s | ||||||
| 3/17/26 | 104: Willpower will NEVER work but THIS does | You've tried time and time again to "just stop" picking, pulling, and biting at your body. But if willpower were really the solution, something would have changed a LONG time ago. So either you're a broken human being with no hope of ever feeling better or living better... Or you're simply going about this the wrong way. The first one we fear to be the truth. The second one is the actual truth. The problem is not that you are a fundamentally flawed human being. It's that you've misunderstood ... | 16m 36s | ||||||
| 3/10/26 | 103: Why you still feel stuck after all this time | You've spent months, years, if not decades, trying to figure out why you pick, pull, or bite at your body... And yet you STILL do it. Why? What's the missing piece to this infuriating puzzle? It's actually pretty straightforward, though I wouldn't say it's easy, but neither is feeling stuck after all this time. Let me tell you exactly what this missing piece is, and how to implement it into your life in the most effective, life-changing way. Hint - it's about emotions, and the connection betw... | 14m 07s | ||||||
| 3/3/26 | 102: Hoping it will get better but it never does | If there's one experience we can all agree on... It's the feeling of hoping things will get better. Hoping that this time will be different. That you'll stop picking. You'll let your skin heal, and you'll finally be free. Except that never happens, and we find ourselves feeling afraid to hope and try because we've been let down so many times in the past. But did you know that this is a cycle? And that this cycle has a name and a purpose much bigger than you would imagine? And when you underst... | 17m 23s | ||||||
| 2/24/26 | 101: The most damaging myth about chronic skin picking & hair pulling | The #1 issue I work on with my clients is feeling shame and self-criticism after a picking, pulling, or biting session. Why do I work with clients on this? It's not just about feeling better; it's because how you treat yourself in these moments directly impacts the length, severity, and frequency of picking sessions! When you learn how to lean into real compassion rather than criticism in these moments, you will take huge strides in your healing journey. But there's a problem: most people hav... | 20m 50s | ||||||
| 2/17/26 | 100: 6 Life Changing Lessons About Chronic Skin Picking | I've healed from 15 years of chronic skin picking and have spent the past 5 years helping others, like you, to do the same. These are the 6 most life-changing lessons I learnt about healing that I see continue to make a difference in the lives of my clients and those I speak to within this incredible community. They're grounded in science and a deep understanding of what it's like to struggle and then heal from a chronic body-focused repetitive behaviour. Listen in to find out which you feel ... | 22m 00s | ||||||
| 2/10/26 | 99: Do You Have To Get Rid of STRESS To Be Free? | Stress is a big root cause of chronic skin picking, hair pulling, and nail biting. With this in mind, a straightforward solution to being free from these behaviours would be: remove stress = FREEDOM! It's partly true but mostly a total lie and deeply unhelpful. Yes, there are probably some things in your life that cause unnecessary stress that you'd be better off removing... BUT, we cannot remove stress altogether and trying to do so only causes more of it. So what do we do? We turn inward. I... | 15m 56s | ||||||
| 2/3/26 | 98: Why We Lose Hope About Healing From Skin Picking & How To Regain It | Hope is hard when you've tried for years to stop engaging in a behaviour that you logically understand is not good for you and yet seem to have no control over. It's hard when you fail again and again to "be better." I've spoken to so many incredible people inside this community who desperately want to hope that healing and freedom from chronic skin picking, hair pulling, and nail biting is possible... But their experiences have taught them otherwise. Let me share with you why hope feels... | 20m 15s | ||||||
| 1/27/26 | 97: 6 Steps to Create Powerful Affirmations for Healing Skin Picking | 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 yo... | 26m 12s | ||||||
| 1/20/26 | 96: Why "Healthy Habits" Are So Hard To Maintain | 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... | 12m 57s | ||||||
| 1/13/26 | 95: The Mental Trap That Will Ruin Your 2026 | 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! 💌Share your... | 17m 30s | ||||||
| 1/6/26 | 94: How NOT to Heal From Chronic Skin Picking & Hair Pulling | 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), N... | 13m 34s | ||||||
| 12/30/25 | 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!

| 12/23/25 | 92: 3 Ways to Help a Loved One With Chronic Skin Picking or Hair Pulling | 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 liste... | 12m 18s | ||||||
