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 112: Is it true you should work on what you avoid?
Have you heard/read that suggestion that 'the yoga pose you avoid is the one you need most?'
I sure have. It's a common one. But is it true?
That's exactly what I'm breaking down in today's episode of The Movement and Mindfulness Podcast. Tune in to hear:
> why it's important to honour how you feel
> the ways we avoid certain movements and why they might have a different impact on what we choose to do next
> the reasons we would and wouldn't move toward what we're avoiding and why understanding the why is so important
> why should is NEVER a good reason.
