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 89: When you feel like quitting
I have a little story for you today. A surprising parallel between the short hiatus I took from posting on social media to our human desire to quit when we feel like we're failing.
I took a short break from posting while away for a long weekend with my family. No big thing, right? And yet, all those human thoughts started to bombard me - maybe this was it for me? Maybe I would never have anything to say ever again and should just quit.
Silly, right? So why do we do that to ourselves after we miss a few weeks of that yoga class or don't stream that class we wanted to do AGAIN? Not showing up yesterday or last week or month doesn't have any bearing on what we choose to do NOW, so why do we follow this all or nothing thinking as though it does?
Tune in to hear more, then come share your thoughts with me!
