If you’re a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) who spends a lot of time thinking, analysing, ruminating or second-guessing yourself, this video is for you.

Maybe you feel a bit like you've operated from the shoulders up but lost contact with your body and its wisdom? If so ... stay tuned.

In this episode of SelfKind - a podcast for Highly Sensitive People - I’m sharing a simple somatic enquiry to help you reconnect with your body’s wisdom — that deep, intuitive knowing that lives beneath your thoughts.

Listen in to learn:
✨ Why HSPs often disconnect from their bodies
✨ How to tell what your body’s “yes” and “no” feel like
✨ A gentle exercise to strengthen your self-trust
✨ How to use this skill in everyday decisions — from dinner choices to big life moves

When you start tuning in to what your body knows, you can move through the world with more clarity, ease, and confidence.

Important note: We're not looking for perfection. This is simply a practice in connection, curiosity and mindfulness.

Do you ever find yourself asking: “What’s wrong with me?”

As a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), it’s a question that might feel familiar — but it’s the wrong question to ask if you want to heal, grow, and thrive.

In this episode of SelfKind with me, Erica Webb, I share why shifting from “What’s wrong with me?” to “What do I need to feel supported?” changes everything. Using the example of my (slightly unruly!) Monstera plant, I’ll show you how support — not self-blame — is the foundation for self-care, self-love, and resilience as an HSP.

💡 You’ll learn:

🌿 Why the “what’s wrong with me” mindset keeps HSPs stuck in self-criticism.

🌿 The powerful reframe: “What supports me right now?”

🌿 Simple, everyday supports that help HSPs thrive (movement, rest, environment, self-talk).

🌿 How to notice what you really need instead of defaulting to self-blame.

🌿 A gentle reminder: you’re not broken, you just need the right supports.

Whether you’re struggling with overwhelm, anxiety, or feeling “different” in an insensitive world, this conversation will help you shift your perspective and meet yourself with kindness.

Do you ever feel like you’re constantly on high alert as a Highly Sensitive Person? Like you’re walking through life bracing yourself for the next “swoop” of overwhelm, criticism, or overstimulation?

In this episode of SelfKind (a podcast for Highly Sensitive People), join me, your host, Erica Webb, as I share a story about a swooping bird ... Yep, you read that correctly! This swooping bird - and how I responded - can teach us a powerful lesson in the way we armour up as Highly Sensitive People to protect ourselves — and why that tension often shows up as tight shoulders, sore jaws, headaches and pain.

We’ll explore:
✨ Why your body automatically “armours up” in stressful, complicated or overstimulating environments
✨ How this protective mechanism helps — but why, when it's overgeneralised or constantly 'on' it can become dysfunctional
✨ Simple, compassionate ways to create spaces and practices that allow your body to soften that armour. 

If you’ve ever wondered why you feel so tense as a Highly Sensitive Person — this one's for you.

What do you do when you feel triggered and enter into a spiral of self-criticism and dysregulation? If you're a Highly Sensitive Person, this is a skill you need - because your super-charged nervous system will become overwhelmed sometimes.

In this episode of SelfKind - a podcast for Highly Sensitive People - I share a real-life moment that poked my HSP sensitivities—time pressure, “don’t waste time” beliefs, and justice sensitivity—and how I navigated the inner critic with self-compassion, breath, and gentle movement.

In this episode you’ll hear:

⏰ My thoughts around time pressure (and why it's such a big trigger for me)

⚖️ The role justice sensitivity plays in HSP overwhelm

🌀 How to spot and stop the inner critic loop

🌼 Why taking time to recover from overwhelm or a self-criticism spiral is very human

🩷 A vital reframe from perfectionism to acknowledging your humanity

✨ If this episode helped you feel less alone, leave a comment with your takeaways or share your own HSP story. I love hearing from you.

Feeling like you’re juggling a million things—and dropping yourself in the process? In this episode of SelfKind (with me, your host, Erica Webb), I share my favourite “glass vs. rubber balls” analogy to help Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) sort priorities, protect what’s vital (spoiler alert: your wellbeing!), and let the rest roll away without guilt.

You’ll hear:

🎾 How to quickly identify your glass (fragile, non-negotiable) vs. rubber (safe-to-drop) priorities

🤔 Why HSPs can confuse productivity with worth—and why that might make everything feel urgent and non-negotiable

🌼 A practical reflection that helps you pause the overwhelm, protect your nervous system, and choose what actually matters this week.

Feeling misaligned as a highly sensitive person? Maybe you’re following the rules but something still feels off. In this episode of SelfKind, I'm exploring how knowing your values can not only shine a light on why you feel misaligned in certain places and spaces, but also transform decision-making, reduce overwhelm, and help you show up in ways that feel true to you as a highly sensitive person (HSP).

As a highly sensitive person, “rules” can feel safe—but they can also pull you out of alignment if those rules (whether yours or someone else's) don't align with what is truly important to you. In this video I unpack values vs rules, why values-misalignment is so distressing for HSPs, and how a simple values lens can guide choices at work, in relationships, and in everyday life.

In this episode you’ll hear:
🌿 Why values matter so much for a highly sensitive person
🌿 The difference between rules and values (and how rules can trap HSPs)
🌿 How to spot values misalignment at work and in relationships
🌿 A compassionate, values-based decision-making approach for HSPs
🌿 An invite to explore your own core values inside the SelfKind Hub

Tired of forgetting the self-care things that actually keep you thriving? In this episode of SelfKind - a podcast for Highly Sensitive People - I'm sharing the ultra-simple habit stack that finally got me taking my vitamins every single day—no guilt, no mental drama. 

If you’re a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) or neurodivergent soul who tends to overthink wellness routines, this simple strategy could be a game-changer.

In this episode you'll hear:

❓ Why habit stacking works for Highly Sensitive People (and a shout-out to Atomic Habits by James Clear!)
👀 The role of visual cues and how they can support you get stuck in the overwhelm of “out-of-sight, out-of-mind” 
🌿 Why it's important to frame your habits around a meaningful WHY and how this can keep a Highly Sensitive Person motivated for the long haul.

Are you craving deeper conversation as a Highly Sensitive Person? Wonder why small talk leaves you feeling flat? Or why your thoughts only settle into meaning once you say them out loud?

In this episode of SelfKind—a podcast for Highly Sensitive People—I unpack two often-overlooked essentials for HSP wellbeing:

🌼 External processing – why speaking, writing or moving your thoughts into the open brings clarity.

🌺 Depth of conversation – how richer, deeper conversation refuels you and is so important for your sense of wellbeing.

You'll also discover why therapy can feel like a lifeline when you need an attentive, judgment-free sounding board (an often overlooked benefit of counselling and therapy for Highly Sensitive Folk).

Does your self-care routine ever feel like one more obligation?

In this episode of SelfKind — a podcast for the highly sensitive and/or neurodivergent person — I, host Erica Webb, share a personal story about following a rigid meditation practice (that I actually signed a contract to commit to!). The 'discipline' of this practice ultimately felt unkind and unsuited to my unique needs and in this episode I'm sharing why it's ok to break the rules around self-care to find practices that actually resource you.

🎙️ What You’ll Hear
➡️ How rule-based “care” can morph into self-criticism
➡️ Why discipline and being sensitive have a complicated relationship
➡️ A simple litmus test: Is this practice filling your cup or emptying it?
➡️ Why you might want to tailor any routine (movement, journalling, quiet time, etc.) to your unique rhythms and not a cookie cutter approach
➡️ A gentle question to swap “should” for genuine support
