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 272: How can you honour your sensitivity?

There’s one particular question that can be hugely helpful for us Highly Sensitive types … and in this episode of SelfKind with Erica Webb (that’s me!), I’m sharing that question and what the responses to it might look like.
This question - what would honouring my sensitivity look like right now - helps to frame your sensitivity as something that can be embraced and respected (which, I would argue, it definitely should be!).
Being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) can no doubt be challenging. That doesn’t mean, however, that it’s doom and gloom. With those challenges come a whole lot of amazing possibilities - when we’re generous enough with ourselves to honour our sensitivity.
Tune in for the full episode and learn about practical examples and strategies for honouring your sensitivity through self-care, self-talk, and self-awareness.
