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.

"Just reduce stress!" has got to be THE most frustrating advice. Sadly, it's often good advice ... but it's incomplete.
In this episode of the podcast SelfKind join me, Erica Webb, as I share some really simple ways to reduce stress as a highly sensitive person.
The thing is, there are a lot of stressors 'out there' that we can control. But those seemingly small things? The ones we c...

Welcome to episode 300 of SelfKind - a podcast for Highly Sensitive People who are navigating what it means to be sensitive in a world that doesn't always feel like it's made for them.
In this milestone 300th episode, I'm reflecting on the past year, which has been the hardest of my life. There is...
You're a highly sensitive person and you know that self care is something you *should* be doing more of. But it just takes so much time, money and energy, right?
Maybe ... or maybe a new perspective is needed.
What if self-caring could be a way of *being* in the world, not just something that you do when you have all the time and resources? The perspective shift I'm offering in this episode of SelfKind...
It's just easier to avoid overwhelming and overstimulating places, spaces, things and people as a Highly Sensitive Person, isn't it?! Well ... sometimes but not always. Like everything, the honest answer is 'it depends'.
If you are a Highly Sensitive Person then it's likely you know the feeling of wanting to avoid the things that are dysregulating. Whether it's a social situation, a high pres...
Chances are, you're not short of knowledge as a Highly Sensitive Person. You know all about some of the things that could support you to feel better. But sometimes? It's easier to think about them than it is to *do* them!
As a Highly Sensitive Person, this makes a lot of sense. Depth of processing is your jam. But when thinking becomes a proxy for doing, you risk missing out on the full benefits of your self-care...
It wasn't so long ago that Georgie learned there was a name for the way she felt ... being a Highly Sensitive Person.
Maybe you've been there too? Discovering, for the first time, that there are words and experiences that are shared by others who also have this trait. That you're not actually 'too much' or 'too sensitive', but that you are a part of that minority percentage of the popula...
If I had to describe being a Highly Sensitive Person in just one word, I might use the word 'exhausting'. Honestly, it can be tiring being a highly sensitive person, but it's not all doom and gloom.
I'm a big believer that when we understand and respect our sensitivity, we open the door to being able to navigate the tricky bits of being HSP more easily.
In this episode (# 295) the podcast, Sel...

Highly sensitive in a world that often feels too bright, too loud, too emotional ... too much? If so, don't make this mistake ... the mistake of thinking you're the problem.
Your sensitivity? It doesn't need to be fixed.
So what might it need instead?
In this episode of the podcast, SelfKind, join me, Erica Webb - registered counsellor, somatic exercise coach, yoga teacher and highly sensitive p...

I don't know about you, but I have a tendency to overcomplicate things at times. Maybe it goes hand in hand with overthinking ... But as a highly sensitive person, one thing is for sure: simplifying things can be deeply nurturing.
In this episode of SelfKind join me, Erica Webb (counsellor, somatic exercise coach, yoga teacher and HSP), as I talk about some ways to simplify things so that your sensitive nervous syste...

Being a highly sensitive person can mean that certain environments feel too loud, too bright and too much. It's easy to assume that *you* are the problem in those scenarios and that you just need to find a way to suck it up and get through it. But ... there is another way.

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
