Ever felt like you're fighting a constant battle with yourself? Does it feel like, despite your best efforts, self-care just isn't working? You're not alone in this struggle.

Join us as we welcome Erica Webb, a registered counselor, mindful movement teacher, and self-kindness advocate. She takes a mind body approach to supporting others, to befriend themselves and their bodies to help combat self criticism,  stress, overwhelm, and persistent aches and pains.

She bravely shares her transformational journey from self-loathing to self-kindness, and provides insights on how to foster a loving relationship with ourselves through movement and body communication.

Navigating through the complexities of being human isn't something we're meant to do alone. Erica lends a helping hand by diving into the topic of mental health normalization and the significance of sharing our human experiences.

We shed light on the role vulnerability plays in our lives and how it can lead to a deeper bond with ourselves. We also address the crucial differences between niceness and kindness - two seemingly similar concepts, yet vastly different in their impact on self-care.

Through an in-depth discussion on the relationship between movement and self-care, Erica guides us on how to transform the narrative around self-care from a checklist of things to do to a journey of kindness and love towards ourselves.

Have you ever felt overwhelmed and stressed about having to do something you don't want to do, all because you think nobody else can do it "right"?

This episode is all about breaking free from that mindset and embracing the power of nervous system hygiene.

I share my own experiences and struggles with control and perfectionism, and how practicing nervous system hygiene has allowed me to create more space for curiosity, compassion, and consideration for other experiences outside of my own.

Learn how creating space within ourselves through nervous system hygiene can lead to healthier, more flexible responses to the world around us.

Plus, don't miss my upcoming workshop, Movement for Mental Health, where we'll explore the relationship between exercise and mental health.

I never expected to find myself dealing with a psychogenic seizure, yet here I am, sharing my deeply personal and vulnerable story in hopes of providing support and comfort to those going through similar experiences. 

From the initial traumatic event to the side effects of medication, making lifestyle changes like quitting smoking and drinking, researching the stress response, and seeking trauma therapy, I take you on a journey through my healing process. 

Along the way, I reflect on how growing up with chronic adverse experiences of violence and abuse may have contributed to these seizures, and how important it is to normalize humanity and open the conversation around such challenges.

Moreover, the importance of practicing nervous system hygiene cannot be overstated. 

Ensuring our nervous systems function as intended is crucial for our overall well-being. When we find ourselves in a threat response, our brain and body will react in whatever way seems helpful at the time. 

By learning how to access our thinking brain and press pause, we can better cope with difficult situations. So join me in this episode as I emphasize the need to prioritize your nervous system hygiene and encourage you to have a little more compassion for yourself and others.

Today we’re talking bout how to ask better questions so we can get better answers that lead us to actionable solutions. Awareness always comes first but information only takes us so far. If we don’t have action to complete the step it’s just not as useful. 

In this episode you’ll learn how to switch from questions that keep you stuck to questions that give you answers you can work with.

Today’s episode we’re talking gratitude and the brain. 

We have an automatic negative bias and it takes longer to process happiness in the brain. 

This is one reason practicing gratitude, building awareness, and recognizing the good things that bring us bits of joy in our days is such a powerful tool to counteract stress and negative bias. 

The more you practice gratitude the more your brain looks for things to give it that hit of dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin (these are the neurochemicals that helps us feel connected and emotionally regulated) 

Caring for yourself in proactive rather than reactive ways that help increase the threshold to stress and give you a sense of self-directed accomplishment and satisfaction… maybe even get crazy and celebrate your efforts and yourself!
