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.

Are you too sensitive or are they being a disrespectful human? This question came through from a listener and I'm diving in to answer!
Welcome to SelfKind, a podcast for Highly Sensitive People who want to understand and befriend their sensitivity while finding ways to navigate the tricky bits.
In today's episode I'm sharing how you can figure out if your sensitivity is the issue or if someone else's behaviour is actually disrespectful or unkind.
Let's dive in.
You will hear:
- How insensitive comments are often framed as humour, which can lead to confusion and masking our true feelings
- Why knowing how you feel (and believing it) is important
- How your sensitivity can make it more difficult to identify disrespect
- The role of self-awareness and self-reflection
- Why overstimulation can make everyone your enemy
- and more.
