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 114: When doing 'right' doesn't mean doing more
"We tend to think that doing ‘right’ means doing ‘more’ and that isn’t always the case" - The Movement Maestro.
Today on The Movement and Mindfulness Podcast, I'm taking inspiration from the above quote. Let's talk about how this shows up in our movement practice, and why we want to be paying attention.
In this episode I cover:
- why our conscious and subconscious beliefs about what is 'right' or 'enough' or 'acceptable' drive our movement practices and how that can impact our experience both on and off the mat
- how remaining unconscious to these beliefs can disturb our ability to be self-kind and truly 'tune in' to what we need
- how this ties in to self trust and trusting we can navigate discomfort
- the difference between using self-kindness to opt out of discomfort versus navigating through it
- the ways in which movement is also a self-discovery practice
- why therapy is so valuable.
