Description

Join your host, Nicole Morris, LMFT and Mental Health Correspondent, as she sits down with Aneela Idnani, co-founder of HabitAware and a passionate advocate for the Body-Focused Repetitive Behavior (BFRB) community. Aneela shares her powerful personal journey with trichotillomania (hair pulling), the shame and secrecy she carried for years, and how one moment of vulnerability led to the creation of the Keen bracelet—a groundbreaking tool for building awareness and reclaiming control. Together, we explore the emotional complexity of BFRBs, the importance of community and compassion, and the incredible hope that comes with understanding and support. So join the conversation!
