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 300: Three hundred episodes! What got me through the hardest year of my life
If you're a highly sensitive person going through a hard time, this might be the episode for you.
Welcome to episode 300 of SelfKind - a podcast for Highly Sensitive People who are navigating what it means to be sensitive in a world that doesn't always feel like it's made for them.
In this milestone 300th episode, I'm reflecting on the past year, which has been the hardest of my life. There is one thing in particular that's helped me keep my head above water as a Highly Sensitive Person and that's what I'm going to share with you. It's a foundational tool every HSP needs to know.
What is that one thing? Self-compassion.
Why do we need it? Because being human means to go through challenges. And sometimes those challenges can feel like they come thick and fast from the shadows. Being on your own side through those challenges is life-changing.
In this episode you'll hear why self-compassion and being on your own side is so important as a highly sensitive person and I also share with you a practical strategy for bringing more of this tool into your own life.
