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 302: 3 Signs You Need to Take a Break (and 3 ways to do it)
Ever have one of those days where you just can't get anything done? The words and the thoughts are jumbled and senseless ... and the to-do list just gets longer and longer? Yep, same. Your brain would have you believe that the solution is to just try harder and get the thing done. But what if your body is actually telling you to walk away and take a break?
In this episode of SelfKind (a podcast for highly sensitive people) join me, Erica Webb, as I share 3 signs that it might be time for a break, not to keep pushing.
In this episode you will hear:
- Why it's important to recognise when your body needs a break
- Why highly sensitive people often ignore their body's signals
- The ways productivity culture can make it hard to take breaks.
- Three signs that your body (and mind) need a break.
You are not a robot, so it's time to stop treating yourself like one. Take the break, nurture your sensitivity and trust that you'll get the job done when you're more regulated!
