Podcast Feature: A Personal Journey of Living with Trichotillomania on the Anxiety Society Podcast

We are so happy to share our co-founders appearance on the Anxiety Society podcast. Dr. Elizabeth McIngvale and Cali Werner sit down with our co-founder Aneela Idnani Kumar, a TED Talk speaker, entrepreneur, and advocate for individuals living with body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs) such as trichotillomania (hair pulling). Aneela shares her personal journey from silent suffering to creating HabitAware, a smart bracelet that helps users bring awareness to their BFRBs and make meaningful changes. This episode dives into mental health innovation, stigma reduction, and how to transform pain into purpose.
