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 270: Why Self-Compassion can feel SO hard
In this episode of the podcast, SelfKind with Erica Webb (that's me!) I'm exploring why self-compassion can be challenging, especially for highly sensitive people.
First, we start with a breakdown of what self-compassion is - the three elements of mindful awareness, shared humanity and kindness. Then we talk about why that mindful awareness bit can feel rather tricky at times.
And, of course, I offer some practical tips around how to persist with practicing and cultivating self-compassion even when it feels hard ... because it's absolutely worth that effort.
If you're a highly sensitive person (HSP) who tends to be hard on themselves - this episode is for you.
