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.

Episode 116: 3 Tips to get started with mindful movement when life feels hard.
Hello friends! Today on The Movement and Mindfulness Podcast I'm offering some tips around how to get started with a movement or mindfulness practice in the midst of less-than-ideal circumstances.
So often we want to wait for life to feel simpler and less stressful before we add another thing. And, I mean, that is LOGICAL. It makes absolute sense. What we're talking about today, though, is adding something that actually supports you to navigate the hard stuff, NOT to just add to the hard and the long list of 'shoulds'.
This requires a bit of a perspective shift, to be sure. But I have some simple tips that I hope will help. Specifically, I'm talking about:
> Why understanding your 'why' is so valuable
> How to keep it simple
> The difference between keeping it simple versus waiting for it to be easy
> How to hold yourself to account with kindness, rather than holding yourself ransom with guilt.
Tune in and, as always, I'd love you to come share your thoughts with me! You'll find me (Erica) over on my website, Instagram and Facebook.
