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 203: Radically different fitness with Holly Kuzmiak-Ngiam
You will hear:
- The 'midlife crisis' that saw Holly shift from a 10 year career in biochemistry to one in fitness
- What is radical about Holly's approach to fitness
- Holly's experiences in the 'traditional' fitness space and her decision to create her own space
- The quest for accessibility - including accepting the limitations of that (no one truly caters for everyone, so how do we navigate and own that when we're also working to create more accessibility?)
- What accessibility even means
- Consent in the context of fitness - why it matters and what it looks like
- Other elements that contribute to Movement Labs being a radical space.

About Holly:
Holly is an American by birth, a Singaporean by residency, and a science-lover by education. After obtaining a PhD in Biochemistry, she had an “early midlife crisis”, and became a movement teacher. She currently operates a brick & mortar studio that offers small group classes and personal training. She is passionate about building educational, movement-centred communities that support holistic wellness and include family, work, and fun. She is proud to run a radical fitness space in Singapore, that prioritises access, intersectionality, and weight-neutral messaging. When she’s not on the trails, leading classes or working with clients, you’ll find her in the kitchen, on the playground, or seeking out a strong cup of Kopi C (local coffee).
