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 335: Getting the day started without overwhelm as a Highly Sensitive Person

On today's episode of SelfKind - a podcast for highly sensitive people - I'm answering a listener's question about getting the day started without overwhelm. Let's face it, there are always a million and one things you could do in a day, so how do you prioritise in a way that is kind to your sensitivity and helps you avoid overwhelm at 7:01am?
I'm sharing a few tips, including getting honest about your capacity and what's really a 'should' rather than a true priority, and so much more.
