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.
Starfish Diaries
Crowd out the misery, not the joy.
In this episode of Starfish Diaries, I’m talking about something I think we all feel but rarely name out loud: the hard-to-ignore dread that creeps in when something in our life is out of alignment. It feels heavy in your chest, steals your joy, and makes your nervous system feel like it’s bracing even when nothing is technically wrong.
If, like me, you’ve spent years chasing gold stars, external validation, or the version of your life you thought you were supposed to have, I hope this conversation is a glimmer of truthful hope.
Take a listen for a sneaky announcement about a second pod launching soon, some thoughts about imperfect beginnings (a more recent discovery for me, too), and how choosing what feels honest is the most generous thing you can offer yourself.
For me, this one is an exhale. A loving reminder that you get to create a life you want to be in- one intentional choice, one honest breath, one little step at a time.
