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.

Anxiety, Intuition, and The Guinea Pig Feeling
Sometimes anxiety makes decision-making feel impossible. Other times, clarity shows up when you'd least expect it. This week on Starfish Diaries, I talk about the messy middle; learning to trust our gut, honor our feelings, and build the support we need along the way.
I tell the story of my “guinea pig feeling” (you read that right), and how it became a lesson for trusting intuition in recovery and beyond. We talk about why anxiety can scramble decision-making, why I’m oddly excellent in a crisis, and how building a trusted network makes all the difference. This one is all about emotional awareness, learning to listen to yourself, and giving yourself permission to grow- roots, wings, and all.
Connect with me on Instagram @starfishyoga, I'd love to hear from you.
