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 337: Why nurture and respect win over force and shame for the highly sensitive person
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
It's not uncommon for highly sensitive people to push against their inherent traits when they feel too much or too needy. But what does this pushing against and away really do? It can breed internal shame and blame while leaving your sensitivity lacking in what it most needs: nurture and respect.
In this episode of SelfKind - a podcast for highly sensitive people - I'm talking about why respecting your sensitivity is the way to go. I also share more details about my upcoming program, SelfKind Nurture. If you'd like to join me for this round, be sure to get your application in asap.
