SelfKind: Conversations in self-care, kindness and compassion for highly sensitive people
Hi and welcome to SelfKind with me, Erica Webb. This is a podcast for Highly Sensitive People (HSP) who want to navigate the tricky bits of their sensitivity with more ease, while finding their sensitivity super powers. Here, we're all about being, living and moving through a lens of self compassion and kindness.
As your host, I meet you as a fellow HSP. I know what it's like to feel like things are too loud, too bright and just ... too much. In my work as a registered counsellor and mindful movement coach, I've supported myself and my clients to find ways to embrace their sensitivity that centre on self-compassion, nervous system regulation, self-awareness and, ultimately, self-love.
From mindfulness, mindful movement, joy seeking and a zillion and one practices in between, here you'll find space to be fully you - fully human - and the tools to navigate the tricky bits of having a highly sensitive nervous system.
I’m thrilled you’re here.

Ep 205: Anxiety. A body-mind approach
Hello and welcome to this episode of SelfKind with Erica Webb (that's me!). In today's episode I'm sharing about a body-mind approach to managing anxious feelings. Because how you think impacts how you feel and how you feel impacts how you think.
In this episode you will hear:
- The potentially vicious cycle of anxiety impacting our thoughts and feelings, as well as our body
- why language and how you identify with anxious feelings really matters
- the importance of knowing your 'signs of safety' and regularly engaging in them
- why self-kindness and compassion are the skills most worthy of your efforts
- how knowing and committing to your values can help you to take action in the face of anxious feelings.
