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 100: Lessons from 100 AND some things you might not know
Um, can you believe it? We're at episode ONE HUNDRED of The Movement and Mindfulness Podcast! That's bonkers-bananas!
I ummed and ahhed about how to mark the occasion. I asked my Insta-crew what I should do. The most common suggestion was a 'get to know Erica' episode. I felt weird about that, so I've melded a bit of 'get to know you' with 5 (transferrable) lessons learned from 100 episodes of podcasting.
In this episode I share:
> Why jumping in is often a wise move
> The importance of commitment over motivation
> The important distinction between commitment and punishment and why it's important to know when to change gears
> The role of joy
> Why 'Just keep going' is so valuable
As well as 5 things you might not know about me. Things that influence my WHY and HOW around teaching movement and self kindness. They include:
> Why I've always been willing to take a different path
> The role of words and dreams
> My personal experience with self-kindness (it didn't start from self-love)
> How 'not fitting in' supported me to carve my own path
> The traditional yoga practices I don't teach or practice myself.
