Most people try to “fix” skin picking or hair pulling by focusing on the behaviour, but that’s why we stay stuck in it. In this episode, I share a radically different approach: how looking at your life as a whole can reveal the real root of your BFRB (body-focused repetitive behaviour) and what’s keeping you stuck in the cycle. You’ll walk away seeing your healing in a completely new light! One that’s grounded, empowering, and deeply personal. Listen to discover: • Why surface-level tip...

80: Everything You’ve Been Told About the Ego Is Wrong
We’ve all heard it: “Your ego is the enemy.” But what if that belief is actually making things worse? In this episode, I challenge the popular narrative surrounding the ego and reveal why perceiving it as “bad” or “toxic” keeps you stuck in cycles of shame, self-doubt, and even chronic skin-picking. Instead, I offer a radically different perspective: your ego is not the enemy, it’s your wounded inner child, desperately trying to protect you. Why the mainstream idea of “killing the ego” is har...
