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 294: Why are my shoulders tight all the time? Navigating chronic tension as a Highly Sensitive Person
How are your shoulders? Jaw? Tight and tense? Your fellow Highly Sensitive People understand! But why does this happen and what can we do about it?
In this episode (# 294) the podcast, SelfKind, join me, Erica Webb - registered counsellor, somatic exercise coach, yoga teacher and highly sensitive person - as I talk about why so many of us highly sensitive types navigate persistent tension, aches and pains AND some simple strategies that can help.
If you're a highly sensitive person and you deal with persistent or chronic tension, this episode is for you. You will hear:
- why persistent tension can show up for highly sensitive people
- a reframe to help you see that, even though it's uncomfortable and you might want to change it, that tension is NOT your body failing or letting you down
- the role of mindful movement in helping to navigate persistent tension.
Take what feels supportive, leave what doesn't, and see how mindful movement could make a big difference to how you feel.
