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 262: Highly Sensitive or Highly Stressed?
Ok, so how do you *really* know if you’re a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP)? In this episode of SelfKind with Erica Webb (that’s me!) I’m sharing some thoughts around how to make this call. This episode follows on from last week’s episode where we started this conversation, and is inspired by listener questions over on Instagram.
As well as talking about how to know if you’re a HSP, I also share about the difference between being highly sensitive as a trait (which is there from birth) versus experiencing heightened sensitivity as a result of stress.
