Ep 218: Listening to your body for clues
08/16/23 • 21 min
It's possible to change your relationship with your body and in this episode of SelfKind with Erica Webb (that's me!) we're talking about one piece of the how - listening to your body for clues.
This is about engaging in a compassionate dialogue with our bodies, moving away from blame and towards curiosity. By leaning into the power of observation and using our body's signals and feelings as crucial information, we can make more aligned decisions about how we engage in self-care.
In this episode you will hear:
- one way to start listening to the body's cues
- why considering what your body and brain need for security/safety is important
- how movement, environment, thought processes, and human connections can contribute to an overall sense of well-being
- how to navigate the complexities of self-care (because there's never only one right way)
- why acknowledging your experience is SO important.
Let's redefine self-care, one body signal at a time. Enjoy.

If you've ever found yourself drained from constantly striving to make everyone else happy or if you tend to fall into the all or nothing trap with self-care, then this episode is for you.

You'll hear:

- why it's helpful to take a reality check to ensure your planned actions align with your real life ,
- how to identify your "enough," your bare minimum for self-care, and integrate it into your daily life with more ease,

Ep 219: The things we risk losing when we choose self-care
There's a big ol' list of things we have the potential to gain through consistent self-care, but something that we don't often talk about or consider is the thing we might lose in that process.
Join me, Erica Webb, in this episode of SelfKind where I'm posing the question: Can the act of self-care threaten your identity? And could that be the reason it feels so hard to start and/or maintain?
In this episode we're diving into exploring the complex interplay between self-care and personal identity. You'll hear:
- about the potential losses that can arise when you start to prioritise your needs - including the uncomfortable shifts in self-perception and how others view you
- the impact of the societal praises of selflessness and how this can conflict with prioritising our own needs and well-being
- practical tips to navigate this potentially challenging misalignment.
