Starfish Diaries
The Starfish Diaries is a podcast hosted by Liz McKean; coach, consultant, yoga teacher, recovery & mental health advocate, and lover of metaphors.
Inspired by "The Starfish Story," you can expect to hear personal stories, insightful reflections, and gentle reminders that you are not doing it wrong. Your joy, your work, your healing, and your desire for something more matters.
This is an invitation to make your life a place you want to be. Tools to envision what that even looks like. And permission to want it!
A better world begins with people who believe it's possible. And I promise, my sweet Starfish, that it IS possible.
